Sometimes, amidst deep grief, others will encourage you to move forward, or you will be impatient with yourself in moving forward. It’s ok to allow yourself time to sit with the pain and sadness for a while. There is no timeline. However, you can’t dwell there forever. I remember when my Mom passed, my Dad often said, “Why is this taking so long for me to move on!” The truth is , that loss of someone you dearly love changes you. The challenge is recognizing the good ways in which it changes you. Have you become more compassionate? Maybe more patient? Maybe a better listener? Maybe more spiritual? Maybe a bigger hope for what awaits us when our time on earth is over. It will get easier. One step forward at a time. Love you all.
