Why do people say such things?
We're hurting. The last thing we need is to be evaluated. Unkind and unhelpful words end up only adding to our burdens.
We're hurting. The last thing we need is to be evaluated. Unkind and unhelpful words end up only adding to our burdens.
We miss everything. This hurts. We wonder how long this will last.
From the Grieving Heart:
Loss hits our souls too. It can jostle us spiritually. We come to realize just how little we control.
Guilt is seemingly never far from any of us. When we're grieving, it can become a frequent visitor. Surely someone, somewhere is to blame for all this. It might as well be us.
The Moment that we pass from the Physical World to Heaven, we are immediately filled with love. If you took the most love that you have ever felt in your entire life and multiply it by infinity, then, you may then begin to understand the feeling of Heaven.
When grieving, we can feel trapped. It can feel like our options are stripped away, one by one.
From the Grieving Heart:
While on the road to Heaven
The streets are paved with Love
The lights that shine the way for us
Are made by God Above
Sweet music fills the air around...
As Angels sing their song
Our family there to meet us
When loss hits, we feel vulnerable. This is natural and common, but uncomfortable. Life feels shaky, even scary now.
Having lost 4 family members in just over 3 years, my world was turned upside down. I felt an ache in my heart and in my arms. I knew they were still in my heart but I needed something I could physically hold or actually see to comfort me. Although nothing brought them back or took away the pain, having some tangible reminders of them eased the pain.
