Grief Post of the Week

Grief feels like you're walking in thick snow fall. You step into the snow thinking it will be say 4-5 inches deep but, when you step in, you sink down to your knees. You can still walk in it but it takes a lot of effort and each step becomes harder and harder. You want to stop walking in the snow, but you keep going because you have to cross the valley to get to the other side to the other shelter. Throughout the journey, you take breaks to catch your breath to rest and then you start walking again. Each time you stop just makes the next time you start back up just a little bit harder because you're just exhausted and, yet, you keep going. 

The exhaustion becomes greater and greater. You know that you must keep moving because a blinding blizzard is coming and you don't want to be buried in it. You do eventually make it across just to know that you've got to cross back the next day and Winter just began in snow country. This cycle repeats over and over again. That is what grief feels like.
