Why Does it Hurt so Much?
When we say goodbye to the dearest one on earth, how do we cope with such a great loss? The more we love, the greater the loss. It may be hard to realize, but if you start asking people if they have lost a dear one to death, you will probably be surprised how many tragic stories you will hear. So, as we walk through the pain of grieving, we are not alone.
It is very helpful to find a group such as Grief Share. Going with the flow of grief helps to go through it. Avoiding your grief is only going to push you to visit it again in the future, but in the time of avoidance it can become a traumatic monster.
Start the day with habits that put you in a positive frame of mind. Listening to praise music is a good way to start the day. Knowing that God is always with you and wants to comfort you can give a sense of peace.
“The LORD will give strength to His people; the LORD will bless His people with peace.” Psalm 29:11 NKJV
