Todays Grief Share Devotion was a good one and I wanted to share. Often Ill break down and cry and then apologize for crying when in reality, those that love me often tell me, its ok to cry. Crying reflects the love you had for your loved one. Talk About It Day 40 Death is a part of life. Everyone experiences the death of a loved one. “We are social beings, physical beings, and spiritual beings,” says Rev. Clay Evans. “When you lose someone you are attached to, it is normal, it is natural, for you to grieve.” If grief is natural and is part of everyone’s life, why is there a feeling of discomfort when someone mentions the death of a loved one? Why the embarrassment when tears come during an ordinary conversation? People in grief may avoid their friends and even their church to prevent these awkward moments. This is not how it should be. Someone needs to move beyond the discomfort. Be the first one to squelch the prevailing attitude of embarrassment and unease, and start talking about grief. “Bear one another’s burdens, and thus fulfill the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:2 NASB). Lord Jesus, grieving is as natural and as common as loving. I want to help make it as acceptable, too. May my healing journey spark healing in those around me. Amen.
