I just went to the link to read the portion of the transcript and there is so much "YES!" contained within. The fear itself. The fear that the feeling of insanity is never going away. The need for community. And embracing the pain to allow ourselves to grieve......I call it "ripping off the bandaid" once in a while to let the wound get air and heal. If we don't rip it off ourselves to heal, something or someone is going to come along and forcefully, uncontrollably, rip it off for us when we least expect it.
Perfectly stated Roger. I was so blessed to have a remote job so that I could cry my eyes out whenever I felt like I needed to, and if I was in public taking a walk, at that point I didn't really care either. I'm also blessed with hubby and son who are not hiding their grief either. I think that is part of the reason I also feel like I'm doing fine now, because I DID grieve wholeheartedly. I hope word gets out to people to embrace it and then heal.
I feel I’m grieving in a weird way. I have faith that my husband will heal but I don’t know that to be true. I trust that God will heal him how He sees fit. Losing a child is beyond my comprehension. God bless you and the Campbell’s.
Hey Coco. What you are saying is that you know God CAN heal your husband, but you don't know if he WILL. Losing anybody we really love hurts, but being someone with strong faith, you will also know God's love in a deeper way than now if his earthly life ends. How is hubby doing? I keep praying for you both.
So far, he is doing fine. We are in the midst of radiation. He and I think differently on healing methods. I just know how ever this ends up, he will be healed. I just pray for more days with him.
