Grief places you in a vulnerable position where change is daily and inevitable. Change can be threatening, and it is your nature to resist it. But your greatest opportunity for change can happen during times that are emotionally intense, and the death of a friend or loved one can open you up to new depths of spiritual experience.
Sometimes people say to me, " I just wish I had some of your strength.' And one of the things that I would say to them was, 'If you've gone through the situations in your life like I have, then you would have the strength that I have.' I've experienced a lot of things in my walk with God that have strengthened me. I think because I know who God is and I know His faithfulness in my life, I was able to say that this will not continue to knock me down. This is a hard thing, but I have to trust in God."
You have the opportunity to experience unparalleled spiritual growth, many and unending decision-making skills will be highly required. Don't be afraid to make decisions, you will learn from your mistakes, and stabilize. Don't allow people to take undue advantage of your vulnerability. Pray about decision making, and just do it 'afraid'.
Jeremiah 29:13 NASB
"You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart"
