Grief Stricken
« on: May 08, 2015, 03:18:32 pm »
People grieve for a lot of different reasons; someone they care about dies, an important relationship ends or they experience the end of a chapter in their life.

The most overwhelming grief I've experience is the death of a pet.  I'm now realizing that even animals grieve.  I can read a dog's emotions; however, I've had limited experiences with cats.  For the past few years, I've had the opportunity to spend time with cats, where I can see, how sensitive and intelligent they are.  We all need time to recover.

When is the last time you felt grief stricken? 


The last time I was in the grief zone it helped me to read a very emotionally uplifting book.   :heart:

Have a great day!

I think the last time I was grief stricken was when my Grand Mother passed away.

A couple of years ago, one of my nieces died of lung cancer at 45.  That was the last time I dealt with overwhelming grief.  However, I have experienced grief many times in my lifetime:  the death of my grandmother, my mother, my brother, close friends, and many fur babies.  Grief is an individual thing and has no time limit.  I still grieve for all of those I have lost over the years.

The human race is created in Gods image.Animals arent.God has put eternity into the minds of man and even tho mankind dies there is a hope of a resurrection.That is not the case with animals.

Its natural to grieve when a loved one dies.Death is an enemy and not natural.

I am not grief stricken just yet......however, we are very shaken and know that the grief is in the near future.

My mom was just diagnosed with Stage 3 Cancer....it is in her lymphatic system.  Next week she meets with the doctor to set up chemo.

Grief comes in many forms. I think everyone reacts differently when grieving.

I lost my mother last year and I miss her very much. I also lost my brother-in-law in January.  That was very hard. The worst part for me in the grieving process is regrets.  Why didn't I do this? Why didn't I do that?  Its important to let go of those negative thoughts. Its a waste of precious life to worry about things you can't change.  And, if you stop and look at the big picture, your whole relationship with the person you lost, you'll see a lifetime of love.
