Powerful truth regarding the topic of grief from recent posts on http://www.griefshare.org:

“If you want to heal from grief, you must go through it. You cannot go around it. The grieving process, itself, is a healing process.”

“Fear, depression, anger, loneliness, despair – these emotions come and go with dizzying unpredictability. Your life is like a roller-coaster that you can’t get off. Stay on the ride. Each time one of these emotions comes flooding back, it’s a sign that you are healing.”

“Grief’s timing is not your timing. There is no microwave healing. There’s no way you can just zap it, and you’re better. God’s healing takes time, but morning will come.”

“Read the Bible to draw strength and comfort from it. Remember, when you are discouraged and at a low point, the only remedy is to look to the Father.”

“Time alone will not heal your grief. What is important is that you choose to stay close to the Lord. God is the source of all healing.”

“I am the LORD, who heals you. [Yahweh Rapha].” (Exodus 15:26)
