I KNOW that it is a very much "alone" emotion and I'm afraid to walk in and cause more hurt! So I simply sit in "our" (God's and my) alone place and cry with sadness and compassion. I just have to trust that God will somehow translate those tears to the special griever in my life and comfort them in the ONLY way God can!

It is however a personal journey. I relate to most of what you are saying you are experiencing. But all the little internal thoughts are different I'm sure. <BR/><BR/>How long does it all take? Who knows. Just let it flow.<BR/><BR/>Love youStaceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09792988908227647278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661420605021165049.post-73231814751555496942008-11-28T16:08:00.000-08:002008-11-28T16:08:00.000-08:00Jobina...I emailed you a comment regarding your co...Jobina...I emailed you a comment regarding your comment. I guess I should be doing that here? I don't know the protocol!<BR/>Michele....I don't think there is ever a time I don't want to talk to or see somebody. I just haven't felt like being with groups of people. I don't quite know why. I guess because they are usually "chit-chatty" and I'm not like that these days (for the most part).Elaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02478492908186510970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661420605021165049.post-47424030871489529842008-11-28T15:33:00.000-08:002008-11-28T15:33:00.000-08:00Sometimes I think it would be great to grieve comm...Sometimes I think it would be great to grieve communally and I guess that's what funerals are for. I don't understand why grief goes on so long or why it's so horribly painful, it just is. I can't begin to imagine your grief...I know how destroyed I feel. I doubt very much that I'm one of the people who instinctively knows when you need space and when you don't, but I love you huge and I'm praying that God will help me see when to bug you and when to leave you alone. ;)<BR/><BR/>HUGS, KISSES, and HEAPING LOADS OF LOVE to you!!Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00087822636248592012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661420605021165049.post-33118571927440548362008-11-28T08:24:00.000-08:002008-11-28T08:24:00.000-08:00I never actually thought about it before...whether...I never actually thought about it before...whether grieving was "alone" or "communal". In some ways it would be nice if we could dress in sackcloth and pour ashes on our heads and wail at the gates, if we could be so public about our grief. On the other hand, so much of it is also personal reflection and remembering. <BR/>I really don't understand grief or what to do with the feelings that come out of it. I don't know how to be a help to others who are grieving either. I end up, both for myself and others, just ignoring it and hoping it goes away. I just don't want to re-open the wound and cause more pain. Not the best response, I know. I guess I'm still learning.Jobinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00026043422743662317noreply@blogger.com
