Like you, I faced the untimely death of my husband when I was 39 years old. With incomprehensible, excruciating and unexplainable pains; I had to face my fears, anxiety, shame, confusion and hopelessness even as a Christian.
Sleep vanished from my eyes for a long period of time. My mind waged war of guilt of what I should have done or what I did not do to save him.
You might be hiding your pains under spirituality, and put on a courageous face so that people don’t think your faith is not genuine. Others may revere you, stating that you are ‘so strong’.
Grief affects our entire being, and makes us do strange things that don't make sense to us or even people around us. I want to let you know that those feelings are normal when we are grieving.
Having enrolled in this experience for the past 15 years, with practically no human support (i went through the school of the Holy Spirit); which i found very tough and lonely. It is laid in my heart to help others, so that the season of grief is easier on them. With divine assistance, we will all go through the healing process together God's willing.
With God’s help, it is possible to rise above your grief without getting consumed. You can transit from grief to grace, and from mourning the joy of the Lord.
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
Blessed (gratefully praised and adored) be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts and encourages us in every trouble so that we will be able to comfort and encourage those who are in any kind of trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
