Is grief just something we feel when someone dies? There is a stinging of the heart. It is a feeling that brings on emotions that disturb our well being. It is the thunder and lightening before a storm. Thoughts stir our emotions like the movement of lightening in the sky.
Grief is having affections cut with a knife. Grief is shock, frozen in emotions, giving yourself a chance to dissect what has happened. It is a great refuge. Grief is like closed prison bars with the key in the door but you don’t open the door. Grief is like making a snowman in the winter cold that melts when it warms up.
Describing what we feel I believe helps us to accept and move through grief faster, but too often we find our cheerleaders are tolerant but want us to make it go away, pretend it’s over a lot sooner than we are ready to let go.
