Grief isn’t a visitor. It lives in everyone and is just waiting for the right time to show up.

Sounds so much like the Holy Spirit, just that the Holy Spirit isn’t a ‘it’, He is a person.

Everyone feels grief maybe not everyday but most days, the grief of not making the cut, the grief of not showing up even when you know you were great for it, the grief of inadequacy among others.

The most commonly talked about grief is that which relates to the death of a person, mostly someone you loved.

It comes in two parts, grief occasioned by closeness and relationship.

When you have a relationship with someone and the person shares a part in your life, it leaves a vacuum when the person can’t do those things anymore. (Reason why people mourn breakups).

It’s not irredeemable if they cannot do those things because they don’t want to.

This grief stings because you know they aren’t there because they can’t. The inevitable has happened.

The other part is, grief occasioned by regret of not having a relationship.

Life is moving and fast at that, everyone is busy.

You on the other hand, haven’t healed from a hurt so you shut yourself out from your loved ones.

Time is irredeemable and some things like demise is final…

Grief doesn’t need closure, it needs to be addressed.

You need to know where you hurt and deal with it.

Speak to a therapist if need be, but make sure it is dealt with.

There would be days of emotional overwhelming and nights of uncontrollable tears.

The important thing however, is that you acknowledge the fact that the person(s) you grieve about, was an important part of your existence.

That counts for helping you make things right with other important parts of your existence.

Live!
And most importantly, Live Intentionally!

Grieving is healthy, but must be guided to just stay at grieving.
