Grief Terrible Over It

More From P. D. James

Grief is real because loss is real. each grief has its own imprint, as distinctive and as unique as the person we lost. the pain of loss is so intense, so heartbreaking, because in loving we deeply connect with another human being, and grief is the reflection of the connection that has been lost. we think we want to avoid the grief, but really it is the pain of the loss we want to avoid. grief is the healing process that ultimately brings us comfort in our pain. copyright: elisabeth kubler-ross family limited partnership.

Grief Thinking People
To despair over one's sins indicates that sin has become or wants to be internally consistent. it wants nothing to do with the good, does not want to be so weak as to listen occasionally to other talk. no, it insists on listening only to itself, on having dealings only with itself; it closes itself up within itself, indeed, locks itself inside one more inclosure, and protects itself against every attack or pursuit by the good by despairing over sin.
Listening Despair Doe
All those years i fell for the great palace lie that grief should be gotten over as quickly as possible and as privately. but, what i've discovered is that the lifelong fear of grief keeps us in a barren, isolated place, and that only grieving can heal grief. the passage of time will lessen the acuteness, but time alone, without the direct experience of grief, will not heal it.
