Grief

Grief comes in many shapes and sizes. It can come and go quickly, or stick with someone for what seems like forever. It could be death or disappointment. It could be a relationship or heartbreak. It can be emotional or physical. While grief is sad, it is also necessary. It is one of the necessary evils in our society. If one never grief’s can they truly be happy? If everything was perfect, then what would we have to strive for? We must see the bottom, before we can reach the top. While often times it’s hard to overcome, the process can also be beneficial. It can bring people closer together or help you realize things you never thought you had. It can help one grow stronger. Often times out struggles bring out the best in us. Grief can also provide us a since of reality and give us a chance to reflect on what or whom we may have lost. These feelings, while hard to overcome, also give us a chance to honor and cherish things we may not otherwise recognize. We all have different ways of dealing with grief. Some like to talk, while some like to reflect privately. Others like to get away, before they come closer. Still others like to honor what has been lost and celebrate what is still yet to come. There is no right or wrong way to grieve. Everyone has their own way to deal with this necessary evil.
