Oh Honey, I am deeply sorry for your loss of your friend. All forms of grieving and mourning are most acceptable, the weeping and the “get ‘er done”. I read a wonderful quote recently by Sigmund Freud in his study about “Melancholia & Mourning”: “In mourning the self esteem is still present.” Extend love to your feelings and the thought “I don’t have time for feelings” precious friend. Love is who you are. Love is who your friend is. You are not alone in this thing called sadness, grief and loss. Sending much love and hugs to you. xoxoxo

Dearest Friend, I thank you so much for you love and encouragement. I am reminded of what the Bible says and our Pastor growing up in Houston said over and over: “The battle is the Lord’s”. It is true the battle IS the Lord’s and he is living right here in my heart so intimately I know this, too, is joy, willingness and strength growing by leaps and bounds! xoxoxo

Be careful what you ask for. I lost a very dear friend and now I have ‘feelings’. I have to also deal with other people’s feelings. Arrg. One of the mutual friends of this person and I were talking with the funeral director and she just started balling and couldn’t stop. My first thought was, good grief, get it together. I’m firmly in ‘get it done’ mode and sometimes the loss creeps but I don’t have time for that. I probably should, but it feels uncomfortable and unproductive. Thank you for sharing this journey.

I sympathise. But remember, you are only human. You can probably not do it all, all at once. I am confident that you and the Holy Spirit will find a way to get through this, but do not be too hard on yourself. I keep using military language, goodness knows why, but – one battle at a time, girl! I am sending you much love as always.
