Summary

Grief. One of the switches of life that is unavoidable. Grief hurts; so bad that we want to shy away from it, hide it and even pretend that it is not there. Grief is not a switch that we choose to turn on or off in our lives. It is an inevitable part of the aftermath of something that interrupts our lives. Something that we have no control over. Powerlessness, anger, guilt, blame and often accompanies grief and are part of the grieving process. A process that consists of connected stages that collective has also been called and known as the healing process. In the Bible, grief is often mentioned. There is one verse that must be my favorite one, it is also the verse that I chose to be engraved on my father's gravestone. Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
