Death of Girlfriend

When a loved one dies, our lives are altered forever. This includes the future we anticipated.

FROM THE GRIEVING HEART:

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.

We know loss is painful, but none of us is quite prepared for the loneliness that descends on us. 

From the Grieving Heart:

Grief is a marathon. It's fatiguing and exhausting. We can wonder if it will ever end.

From the Grieving Heart:

When loss strikes, our future is unpended too. what we anticipated is no more.

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:

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.
