grief can get turned into miracles
January 16, 2012Location (City, State): St. Charles, IL
HI I AM KENDALL. WHEN I LOST MY SISTER 4 YEARS AGO ME AND MY WHOLE FAMILY WERE DEVASTATED WE ALL FELT LIKE WE WERE PLUNGED HEAD FIRST INTO THE WORLD OF GRIEF. AND WHAT I FOUND OUT WAS THAT EVERY DAY WHEN I JOURNAL I WOULD START TO FEEL A LOT BETTER. I FEEL LIKE I AM GETTING BETTER DAY BY DAY. ALL I HAD TO FOCUS ON WAS THAT I HAVE TO TAKE BABY STEPS AND NOT TO JUST LEAP FOREWORD IN THE GRIEVING PROCESS. SOMETIMES I WOULD I KEEP WONDERING “WHY DOES MY WHOLE FAMILY SEEM DIFFERENT”? I FOUND OUT THAT THEY WERE GRIEVING DIFFERENTLY. THEN I FOUND OUT THAT MEANS THAT PEOPLE CAN GRIEVE IN DIFFERENT WAYS AND AT DIFFERENT TIMES. AND I ALSO WANT TO SAY THAT IF YOU HAVE A PET THAT YOU LOVE A LOT IT WOULD JUST BE GOOD TO HOLD IT FOR A WHILE. WHEN YOU ARE HOLDING YOUR PET START THINKING OF THE GOOD TIMES YOU HAD WITH YOUR LOVED ONE. I THINK THAT WHENEVER YOU FEEL SAD DON’T FEEL BAD TO TELL YOUR PARENT CAUSE I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THEY ARE ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU AND WANT TO HELP.
