On Grief and Grieving

Good morning All,

 

My great-grandmother passed on Monday, February 27.  Her funeral was held last night.  She was 93, and lived a long and prosperous life, but was in a great deal of pain, both emotionally and physically, during the last few years of her life.  I am greatly relieved that she has now passed out of that pain.

 

Grief, like death, is a part of life, and a part of the healing process.  Do not be ashamed for your grief.  It is normal, and it is necessary in order to heal.  I encourage you to give your pain and unhappiness over to God, however you choose to see or worship God.  Our Creator is a benevolent, loving and gentle care-taker, who will not only care for our departed loved-ones, but for us as well.  God will help us through our grief, if we only allow God to do so.

 

This too shall pass.  One day we will be able to smile again, laugh again, and remember our dear ones with only love and joy.  Oh yes, there may always be an empty space in our hearts.  But I encourage you to fill that empty space up with love, joy and precious memories.  Your loved-ones are at peace... free... happy.  They ask you to enjoy those same beautiful emotions.  They love you now, as they have always loved you.
