Grief is not a disease. It is not an emotional problem or dysfunction. It is not something to avoid. Grieving is a very normal response to personal loss. It is natural. It is a process. And it is the best medicine when living through loss and tragedy. As we understand this, we realize that we wouldn’t want it any other way. We want to grieve when a loved one dies, simply because we have loved. We want to grief when we leave a beloved home or property because it means a lot to us. We want to grieve when our status in life is not longer the same. When we grieve well, we do not suffer. (donnamann.org grieve grow/WinterGrief)
Consider ways that naming and releasing emotions has been helpful to you during grief.
Found this post only today when God knew I needed it most. My youngest son is failing fast in his health and ability to care for himself. He is only 37 Feeling powerless, familiar with the path of grief so that it doesn’t frighten me now but greets me as an old friend and companion, though I am not quite so excited that our paths are once again crossing
