The journey of loss and grief is one no one wants to experience, and most people avoid thinking of it at all cost.
Life is good, most say. Their lives are filled up with the business of life, with all it's appointments, travels, good times, the wordaday world of making money, the parties, barbecues, making good impressions with friends and at the workplace....to make it to the top.
Yes, life is good until tragedy strikes. But eventually everyone will experience their cup of loss, and grief will come.
If you or a loved one has suffered the loss of a husband, wife, child, you are not alone. Though we who have gone through it may seem to be invisible, there are some of us who do understand the journey your on now; and we know what you are suffering. You have begun a path in life that few will understand, until they are faced with it. You will find yourself misunderstood, and you will lose people in your life because they will walk away; because their not able to deal with the reality of your grief.
Take one step at a time, many days just putting one foot in front of the other, and getting out of bed is a great accomplishment. Don't allow anyone to judge you, no one knows what your dealing with but God; and He is the one who will walk with you through this, talk to him about how you really feel, and your pain. He cares, and he knows. He loves you.
Mat 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Mat 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Mat 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
