I’ve been talking about anticipatory grief – grieving someone while they’re still here – and how heavy that can feel. If you’re walking through that right now, this is for you: you’re not broken, you’re not failing, and you don’t have to “be strong” every second. You’re allowed to feel your grief *and* your love at the same time. If you want, drop a word or an emoji in the comments that captures how your heart is doing tonight. You don’t have to explain anything unless you want to.
My husband of 21 years has been bedridden for 10 years. He had brain surgery to remove scar tissue from a bike accident that was, (and still is), causing seizures.
It’s the “how” to stay strong that sometimes a stumbling block. Keep your eyes fixed on the principles that Jesus teaches us. Do not fear. Fear is a lie. Trust God. He has the answers Be still and know that He IS GOD. DONT RUSH INTO A SITUATION WHERE YOU HAVE NO PEACE.
I have been in recovery mode for 38 years approximately and I was always looking to get recovered...well I had to learn through my experience everyday I have an opportunity to practice being a great human being. I am a person who made decisions for myself that were less than great and became a very depressed person. After almost a decade I now ask myself: am I a human being sharing a spiritual experience today? Or am I a Spiritual being sharing a human experience? Is it something that needs to be said? Is it something necessary to say? The biggest question does it need to be said by me?
