I just heard this today about grief. Perhaps I'm just keenly attuned to this subject lately, but I thought I'd share.
"Grief is the emotion which, when released, brings healing to all other emotions."
I can personally attest to the truth of this statement. In my recent grieving, I've sensed many old wounds being healed, as if this deep grief losened up some previously blocked places, & allowed them to come to the surface. I feel lighter, more focused, less hindered, more strengthened. More matured.
Would I trade it all in to be able to have & hold my baby? Yes! But would that be the best thing? I think perhaps not.
Only God knows. I chose to trust Him on this path.
Oh, God, hold my baby for me!
Shalom, Dena
