When I have lost someone dear to me, there is nothing that anyone can do or say to take the pain away. I have to go through feeling it.
People like me have a tendency to want to numb ourselves, especially when we are in emotional distress.
That’s not a good option.
Experience tells me that the pain will eventually subside, whether I pick up a substance to numb the pain or not.
If I do pick up, a new cycle of pain begins from which I may never recover.
Seeking God’s Comfort and believing that I’ll be ok gets me through it.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
