Whole in God…

*Keep Smiling, Seeds of Encouragement*

I saw this quote and it stood out to me because I see so many people doing this after experiencing loss, but especially after the loss of a spouse.

My favorite saying that God gave me early in my Widowed journey was, “You have to feel in order to heal”. Numbing your pain is not healing, avoiding your pain is not healing, being distracted all the time is not healing; using different vices, relationships etc., is not healing. You have to go through and feel the pain in order to get to the other side of where the pain of grief doesn’t sting as much.🙏🏽

God will mend your broken heart But you have to draw nigh to Him so you can become whole in Him. There is no time limit on grief so never compare your journey to someone else’s journey.

Psalm: 147-3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
