Moving on after a Loss
Grief comes uninvited and is never in a hurry to leave. People ask, “How on earth do you move on? Is there some magic way to do or be? If you follow all the steps, will it help?”
I searched for an easy answer and of course there is none. I tried a support group, counseling, silent retreats, travel, working harder… These can help, but none was a permanent solution. It’s just that grief is hard. It takes more time than you want it to. But steadily, over time, if you do the grief work, more peace will come.
It’s healthy and natural to grieve. Walk through it. Make it your unique journey. Embrace it and ask for others’ help. Know that there is One who is “acquainted with grief.” God can comfort because He understands grief. And He knows what wonders lay beyond this world. Receive strength from His Love.
