************************
If you would drive a man to madness, convince him that he is soon to become completely alone. He will not long think with reason or act with sanity. Grief does this – lonely, sometimes bitter, often afraid man looks out into the dark of night and cries “Why?”

There is no complete getting over loss. What was is always missed. It is called memory. Perhaps it was sweet, perhaps it was bitter, but we always carry a little of yesterday with us.

No one reacts to grief the same way. In such moments of pain, our individuality still persists. Some weep, some sit in shocked silence, still others chatter incessantly. Often there is anger at the doctor, or God, or even at the deceased

The bereaved often need someone to briefly blame until they get their thinking straight.

Primary to easing grief is to be able to frame three words, “He (she) is dead.”

These words can cut like a knife but it is therapeutic surgery. It is learning to live with a reality.

It is giving God “the opportunity to deal with all of your sorrow at once instead of in bits and snatches.”

There is more guilt after death than at any other time. Often a husband or wife will feel guilty because with time, they are beginning to feel better, as if it were a denial of a great love, rather than God’s healing of a great pain.

God can heal…now can’t he? Therefore, reach out and take your misery to His creative hand, reach out and let him began give back your life in the form of spiritual maturity.

Pray a thanksgiving prayer, “Thank you God that I had her (him) even for this little while.”

“Thank you God for love that now is a pain but was a blessing and what a blessing it was.”

“Thank you God. But for your creative hand our love would never have been.”

Find someone else in need of loving care. Be ambassadors of the memory of the departed.

Do not mourn in solitude for weeks on end. The four walls of your home at first are a protection. Do not let them ever become a prison.

Walk early so you can be there when the sun rises from the horizon. Walk late so your can feel the healing of the stars.

Walk where you can hear the roar of an ocean or the tinkling of a stream or the whistle of the wind through the leaves.
Walk in the sunshine. Walk in the rain.

Give nature its chance to heal.

Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in times of trouble.
