Grieving....Sorry, your time is up!!

So, how long is the *appropriate* time to grieve? Does it depend on what you are grieving? How are you supposed to know? How do you explain to your heart that it is 'time to get over it'? And who do people think they are, telling you how you should feel? Have they been through this? NO. If they had, they wouldn't expect you to just forget all about it and move on.

Betrayal. Jesus. Judas. God.Agape.

it's funny, last night, my friend told me that my dad should be moving on.....
why my dad??? wasn't he the grandpa? wasn't that his first grandson?
I don't understand....
i know that before losing caleb, i wouldn't have had a CLUE how to minister to someone who had lost someone, becuase I hadn't been through it,
so i don't blame him. he just dones't understand.

hear you.... it's hard to know how to feel yourself in times of trouble, let alone think you know how others should feel....but we're human, and we say and think dumb things...

I was out for coffee with someone who's going through very difficult marriage troubles. Her husband has left.... her and I found great comfort in knowing that we're both in similar situations, we're just grieving different losses.

My sis tried to explain to me who you are.... but I'm clueless :)
