Stress of Grief

Thanksgiving: When you think of grief, you think of the outward crying, mental shutdown’s, as well as shutting one self off from everyone. You don’t really think of the internal stress that occurs during important dates, Birthdays, holidays, anniversary’s. This week I have experienced the side effect of Grief in very real ways. I have come to the realization of why many spouses don’t live very long after the death of their partner. This week my blood pressure has been higher than allowed and I had to take efforts to bring it under control. The issue is running underneath the venire in the face of reality that they are not there to help you through the stress inherent to the holidays.

I will tell you that I would not have made it this far without God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. I can tell you that I have found even when I don’t feel God around he is lifting me up for I would have given up completely without him in my Life. Even with my family support it would not have been possible without God, and my family has been very supportive.
