4 important questions # 2
August 3, 2017
Most of us want speedy solutions: tech help immediately, quick acting meds for our health problems, great relationships on fast tracks. Life does not always accommodate our need for speed. Take the healing process after loss. I’m often asked: When will this unbearable hurt begin to lessen? Will time heal all pain?
Certainly hurt lessens over time. The demands of life go on. But loss leaves us permanently changed often with scars, that while protective may be unsightly. We never forget precious people in our life, but , yes, the pain lessens. Second years are often harder than the first whether its adjusting in a new community after foreclosure and bankruptcy, or loosing someone me love. Numb has worn off and reality sets in.
Our greatest comfort comes from our Great Physician, our heavenly father.
