Grief

"Grieving"

Grieving never really stops does it? We go through each day like waves, high tides when we are happy, riding along with the ocean wind, where it seems like no one's even missing, like we'd never even been through that tragic storm that sent our world into chaos, then there are the low tides that pull us back out to sea, where we remember vividly every detail of the one we've lost, and the pain floods our souls as we struggle to tread water. And when these waves come they hit so hard. You may even appear crazy to an onlooker, smiling one second, crying the next. But I suppose it's only natural. Grieving is just carrying the pain from one moment to another the best you can.... one minute could vary from the next in how heavy that pain is. But no one can tell me how much time heals, how one day, it gets easier. No. You just get better at coping with the pain, the pain you know will never fade until you are reunited with the one you Love in Heaven. Until then, may Jesus carry us when we cant carry ourselves. Rely on His grace. - Brianna Carey ©

I wanted to share this excerpt I wrote a bit ago, this morning because during this time of year, I know a lot of us have lost relatives, loved ones, etc. and the holidays can be so hard. It's going on 4 years for me, come this February, since I lost my Mommy, and these seem to be the hardest times of year for me. Some days harder than others. But I wanted everyone who may be feeling the same way to just remember you aren't alone. You have Jesus to lean on and pour your heart out to, and we know in our weakness He is made strong so if you need to cry darling, just cry. Then draw strength from God's grace to be able to face the next day. You can and will get better at coping with the pain. You will see them in Heaven again and you God will wipe away Every tear. There will be no more pain, no more sadness. Hold onto that hope, and remember there is no right or wrong way to grieve. Just make sure you don't stay too long in sadness because the one whom you lost would not want that for you. Stay strong and God bless you through the harder days. I pray He give you that peace that surpasses understanding when you need it most as He has done for me. Sending so much love to you.
