If you have an injury to your arm, you’ll put a cast or sling to protect that injury during the healing. It may require surgery, rehab or time off for rest. But either way, you’ll make sure to give that injury some attention to get it healed or prevent further damages. In life, GRIEF is an injury that affects us physically, mentally, emotionally, financially & spiritually. Like any injury, you must get it examined, monitor every aspect of your life (to see where the damages are) & seek help for it. GRIEF will affects all of us! Inspite of the many stages of GRIEF, we all handle it differently & there is no set order or time limit on handling it. Understand that GRIEF is a natural process that we MUST acknowledge to help us adjust to this new “normal” of life. Know that Jesus is here to carry us when we feel too weak to go on. It’s ok to get help or admit how you are feeling. It doesn’t mean that you lack faith nor does it make you less than child of God to admit you’re hurting, so stop trying to play tough & let God capture every tear from your eyes. Remember, God IS the God of ALL COMFORT!! Be blessed! #brotherprater
