“I have learned I have to move on. Life moves forward. I can persevere to find my new normal.” – Shared by a griever. Someone once said: “You can’t go around grief; you can’t go under grief; you can’t go over grief – you can only go through grief.” I add to that, “You can’t go back; you can’t stay where you are, and the only option is to move forward.” These thoughts are sort of a reality check arent they? Most grievers would love to go back to “the good old days” - the time when their loved one was here – but we can’t. Your grief journey may be one small step at a time, and that is okay. Going through your grief means you are dealing with your heartache, facing a difficult reality and at the same time realizing that you do have a future. Perhaps that new future is not clear at this time, but by trusting wise counsel you will get through this grief. It may not be easy, it may require a strong support system, and it may require seriously looking at where you are in life and where you want to be. You can do it. “For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you” (Isaiah 41:13) ~Fran Welch
