How long will we grieve the loss of our children? I am pretty sure everyone wants to know. The answer is easy, until we die.
Now, research shows people feel better in two years and, I am not most people apparently because your three leading to four has been AWFUL.
I just don't honestly feel I will never grieve. Yes, I may learn to live and smile and all that stuff but, I will never not grieve.
I will never not feel sad on certain days of the year. I will never not feel bad watching softball games.
I will never not feel bad shopping.
I will never not feel bad making late night taco belle runs.
I don't mean I will regret doing these things, I will just feel grief doing them.
I will grieve every single day doing or seeing or smelling things that remind me of Lezlie.
I will shed a tear in the converse store like always.
I will never not grieve smelling Victorias secret Pink Sunkissed body spray.
Basically, we may feel a little better in 2 years, but we will never not grieve.
Grief last forever. We will never master it. We will never be able to write a book on how to get over or through it. Grieving is forever.
The road will always be long, but it may be a little easier to walk down and, that is all we can ask for.
1 Peter 5:7 "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."
