The Grief Journey


having to face circumstances out of your control
not having or getting what you wanted
longing for times past and futures lost
pressing the pause button on life
life continuing without you
unwelcomed change
unwanted goodbyes
having empty arms
profound sadness
broken hearted
comes in waves
silent suffering
misunderstood
buried dreams
aching heart
amputation
exhausting
wounding
memories
unwanted
isolation
longing
painful
lonely
loss
raw

God

life
love
 hope
plan
Jesus
grace
peace
refuge
heaven
healing
eternity
strength
comfort
purpose
compassion
faithfulness
contentment
tender mercies
everlasting life
my hiding place
His everlasting arms

"Only the presence of God can fill and satisfy our emptiness. Lord, open our eyes that we may see beyond the realm of flesh and blood; strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, and make straight paths for our feet." Grief and Grace - A. Axelby

Because of the Lord's great love
we are not consumed,
for His compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is Your faithfulness.
Lam 3:22-23
