Four years ago, and not by my own choosing, I began contemplating grief in a serious way. It is a funny thing, grief. It appears to be a road that no one by choice turns onto, where one's heart is force to walk upon stickers and other painful things, for much longer than anticipated... Just when you think the road is coming to an end, you find it is just a curve. There are no detours or shortcuts.
In my experience, the longer or more times you walk this road, the stronger your heart becomes-- and it isn't such a shock when you find yourself on this path again.
But... The best thing about grief is the people. Those who walk beside you willingly on your journey are the ones to be truly treasured, and the ones you often get to keep forever.
May God help me be one of these people who will walk beside you in your grief journey.
