Grief
Posted by Kathi on July 9, 2009
Grief is a strange thing.
I go along at times and think I’m doing just fine – and then I fall apart.
I haven’t really talked to anyone about it. A little bit – just a little – to Ken and to Pastor Mike… but only just a little. I’m not keeping it in by design or plan, more that I just don’t know what to say.
In a way it feels very selfish to grieve for my Dad… because for the first time in years, he is pain-free and he’s with Jesus. But oh how I miss him. I don’t know how to process this pain. I don’t know how to get to a new place of “normal” where I can go about ordinary day to day tasks in an ordinary normal way. People tell me, “time”.

Kathi, it is natural to grieve for your dad. You can rejoice for him in being free from suffering and the joy of being with the Lord, but of course you miss him! I will pray for you to feel God’s love, peace and comfort and the presence of your dad in your heart.
