âWe are ok!â
Words that you often hear from people who are still grieving. But in reality, they are far from ok.
They try to move on with life as if nothing happened but deep down something is missing.
It all happened so quick. In a snap of a finger life is not the same at it was.
The wake. The burial. The whole funeral seems like a blur but it happened and it all happened so quick.
Some days that heavy feeling is there. Other days it seems like everything is the same. But you know deep, deep within, it will never be the same.
But all of this,
all of us,
we are all going there.
Itâs just a matter of whoâs going first and who will be left behind to experience this grief.
But in all of this. Hang on to your faith. For in Godâs time we will meet them again!
For right now, ride the wave of grief.
The first wave is often huge, overwhelming and it seems like it is hard to stay afloat.
This is the hard part.
Anything can trigger this wave, especially these holiday season.
Ride the wave.
Feel the wave.
Embrace the wave.
Overtime, these waves will not hurt anymore. It will be smaller, it wonât disappear but you will learn how to ride the wave and it will be bearable.
When this time comes, you will know that you came out ok on the other side.
And then when you say âI am okâ, you are really ok.
Grief is a reminder that you loved and death is a reminder that this life is temporary.
This life is temporary but life after this is the one that we should look forward too. But for now, thereâs lots of things to do here. And that is to show everyone that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. There is a life after this life. A life where thereâs no pain, no suffering and no more tears will be shed. A life with Jesus.
