grief..."good grief"

Grief really is a process. A process of life....of love. It's just part of moving through this journey. I think we have to acknowledge it. examine it. feel it. and ultimately be at peace with it. Then maybe we can call it "good grief". Grief will challenge your faith like nothing else. It will cause you to dwell on the truth of eternity. Is Heaven real? Will I really see them again? Questions become hope and hope brings joy. As your beliefs become your rock solid truth, it will realign your priorities and that's a good thing. It will also make your eyes swell in a particularly grotesque way ...that's a bad thing! (Thank God it's temporary) FYI : Cold washcloth to the eyes and try to fall asleep elevating your head on an extra pillow. Morning will come!
