After the crushing, what next?

Oh, how we all wish the cup had passed us by! However the reality is that we have experienced the
loss of a loved one at one time or the other. Yes it has been a period of crushing. Indeed a period of crushing when you believe life can never be the same again.
However, Pastor Jakes has assured us that as humans we must go through a period of crushing in our lifetime. This experience is surely different from one person to another.
A grief experience is certainly unique but the similarity is in the fact that the intensity of the pain diminishes with time but it never goes away. It lasts a lifetime!!!
Who do you blame for the loss ? Our loss and grief are not meant to take us under but to make us stronger. I encourage all to know that grieving is not time bound just as the memories of the departed soul Which we live to cherish for the rest of our lives.
I daresay that after the crushing there is the lifting. Trust me.
This will only happen if you refuse to get stuck in grief and allow the memories propel you towards a new normal life. Is this possible? Yes it is and I encourage all those hurting at the moment to turn it over to He who can turn situations round, raising hope where there seems to be none and shining light into the dark tunnel that grief throws us into.
