Grief will make you curse and hate the holidays. Grief will have you contemplating staying in bed. Grief will make you feel guilty about enjoying the holidays, you love.
Grief – a deep feeling of sorrow.
Grief is heavy enough on its own without you adding anything to it.
Instead, think about your loved ones who are no longer here. How did they spend the holidays? Truly think about it. How would they have celebrated? Have you thought about it? Good. Now ask yourself, is this (crying, depressed, despondent, angry, cussing, snapping off, not eating, attitude…) how they’d want me to be?
No. So, as hard as this will be, don’t allow grief to rob you of the moments you still have. Yes, you grieve, but you can also live.
If you need ways to handle grief, tune into last week’s Bible study. We gave ways to help make the weight of grief lighter.
