“HOPE FOR THE DAY”
When grief is new and so raw, it takes up all of our time and energy. We forget what day it is, and worse yet, we don’t even care. We stop going out, we forget appointments, and we withdraw from life as we once new it. Grief affects every part of our being!
At first, we expect this kind of response to our grief. We need to do so much adapting to a new world, a new place to call home, and a new way to find joy. We can’t rush through this process!
But, there comes a time in our lives when we will be faced with the most difficult choice of all. Do we stay in our deep grief, or do we make a conscious effort to take one step at a time and try to move forward into a place of hope!
Most of us make the choice to move on because we know that’s what is best. If we stay in that deep black hole of grief for too long, we’ll miss another spring. And, we don’t want to miss the blue skies, the budding of the flowers, seeing the first robin plucking his work from the earth that is beginning to unfold with so much life and beauty!
Even though grief will always be a part of our lives, there comes a time when we can move it from a place of everyday top priority, to a place of subdued recognition. Spring comes once a year, and it’s full of hope. Give yourself permission to enjoy the beauty of this coming season this year!
