It's important to process things in a healthy way. Pretending like they don't exist is not healthy. Yes, we should have an overall focus on growth, but growth comes from hard things. Dealing with the other things in a healthy way is where growth comes from.

We are here to help you live with your loss. First United Methodist Church The Colony Texas

I had my own notion of grief.
I thought it was the sad time, that followed the death of someone you love.
And you had to push through it to get to the other side.
But I’m learning, there is no other side...
There is no pushing through, but rather, there is absorption.
Adjustment.
Acceptance.
And grief is not something you complete, but rather, you endure.
Grief is not a task to finish, and move on, but an element of yourself – an alteration of your being.

A new way of seeing.

A new dimension of self.

Instead of saying, "you're strong, you'll get through this, let's say " you'll hurt, and I'll be here.
instead of saying, "you look like you're doing well, let's say, "how are you holding up today?"
instead of saying, "healing takes time", let's say "healing has no timeline".
instead of saying, "everything happens for a reason, let's say "this must feel so terribly senseless right now".
and when there are no words to say at all, you don't need to try and find some. love speaks in silences too.
