My mom is a professional on grief. She is a family counsellor and social worker, with a Master of Science in both, and spend a great deal of time kind of specializing on grief. She has taught me a lot about grief though the years, but actually losing people I loved, especially losing my daddy, taught me more. And I have a brother and sister in Christ who are actively grieving. (My mom will be starting a grief support group at our church soon.)
One thing I know is that grief hits hard at the weirdest times. And you will grieve, whether you want to or not. Also, if you don’t work through the grief, you and those closest to you will suffer for way linger than if you work through it.
Most of my working through grief actually happened with intense Bible reading and study and memorization and deep prayers and the Holy Spirit comforting me as I cried out and for me made a quilt. I imagine everyone has to find their own way and God helps. Maybe it was not professionally done, but I personally believe God is the Great Physician and heals better than anyone else and would rather invest in Him than anyone else.
What I would share is that there is hope! There is hope you will get through it with God with you. But know that you do have to bite the bullet and work through grief or your body and soul will grieve in ugly ways for a very long time. Better to have a say in it for your sake and tgose close to you. It is a process and looks different on everyone. 😃❤️
