Unexpectedly, you may have been faced with a lost of someone you dearly loved, like me. It may have been a spouse, a child of only few months, a loving father, a brother or sister or even a trusted friend. No matter what the relationship, the separation has been painfully agonizing.  Or perhaps you have just learned that the cancer is back and nothing more can be done. Or you may be facing the loss of a job, career, a home, or a business.

Each person’s loss and suffering has its own unique quality. No outsider can ever fully enter into it. I don’t claim to know or understand the full depht of the loss that you personally are struggling with. But I do know this: Everyone will supper with some form of loss. No one is excempted. And no matter what the loss, if it feels like a hole has been torn in your soul that cannot be mended. The difficult but necessary process of dealing with any  loss is called grief.

Personally, I’ve faced and experienced the so called grief when my father died 4 days before my eldest son was born on Nov. 20, 1980. Then I lost my brother when he died in the hospital Jan 1987. But the most painful experience I’ve got was, when my husband died in April 1986, 4 days after I gave birth to my daughter Kim. It took a very long time before I have recovered from those griefs and sorrows. Now, I can say that I am completely healed, yes…because it is our Lord Almighty who is always with me while I’m going thru with all the pains and griefs that is haunting me the past years.
