August 3

REFLECTION FOR TODAY

Grief can be devastating and debilitating. It can continue to creep into our lives years after the experience which caused it. It can, and does, appear at the most unexpected and unwanted times. Part of grief is anger and guilt, which seems unacceptable to most of us. Whether the pain comes from the loss of a spouse, significant other, pet, job, boss, child, limb, or house does not matter. The pain is just as strong and seemingly unendurable. Words do not help at these times. We need courage to just breathe and exist. If we can focus on living a moment at a time, strength will eventually come. We cannot let grief prevent us from loving again. It is a part of living which we all must go through.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY

Help me to remember that You and time are my best friends in my struggle with grief.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER

It is good to mourn but there comes a time to get beyond the sorrow and resume a happier life.
