When Money Complicates Our Grief
Financial issues are naturally stressful. So is loss. Put the two together, and the pressure can be overwhelming and frustrating.
I am Missing the Future Too
When a loved one dies, our lives are altered forever. This includes the future we anticipated.
FROM THE GRIEVING HEART:
I Don't Like This New Life
When loss strikes, our lives are forever altered. We don't like this new life. Someone we love is missing.
FROM THE GRIEVING HEART:
I don’t like this new life. I want a life with you back in it. I miss talking to you. I want to hear your voice — not a voicemail, but your real voice. I want you here, now.
I'm Tired of Grief
Grief is a marathon. It's fatiguing and exhausting. We can wonder if it will ever end.
From the Grieving Heart:
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.
I Miss Everything
We miss everything. This hurts. We wonder how long this will last.
From the Grieving Heart:
I'm Getting Tired of Faking It
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.
Nothing Seems to Matter Anymore
Grief is draining. Exhausting. No wonder there are times when nothing seems to matter much anymore.
My Soul is Shaking
Loss hits our souls too. It can jostle us spiritually. We come to realize just how little we control.
