I'm Missing the Future

When loss strikes, our future is unpended too. what we anticipated is no more.
When loss hits, our lives are upended. It seems that everything changes. We hear the term, "new normal." Often, however, we don't like this new life we're living.
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:
In times of loss, sadness can easily deepen into depression. It feels like we've fallen into a pit, and sometimes the pit can grow very dark indeed.
Grief is draining. Exhausting. No wonder there are times when nothing seems to matter much anymore.
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.
We all need to feel seen and heard. This is especially true when we're hurting from a loss.
From the Grieving Heart:
Many of those around us can't relate. Or perhaps they don't want to. We wonder if anyone cares.
