This episode faces grief head-on. Grief is a process of loss inseparable from pain. There is no way to dress it up or make it lighter than it is. Grief is a physical, mental, emotional, and sometimes spiritual experience. Whether it follows a death, separation, the loss of hope, or another dramatic life change, pain is what unites every form of grief.
Grief is not an illness, and it is not something to cure. It is our deep, honest, unavoidable response to losing someone or something dear to us. We usually associate grief with death, but it enters every life in one form or another. We may grieve someone we love, a relationship, a shattered dream, or even the person we were before something changed us.
Living with grief is hard. It shakes us. It swallows everything, until everything else seems unimportant or meaningless. It is one of the hardest emotional experiences a person can go through in life.
How do we cope with it? How do we live after a loss? Is that even possible? What do we do with this pain so it doesn’t swallow us, while still finding hope? I don’t pretend to have all the answers. Amen, and may you find grace.
