Letting Go Letting God Heal Grief

Letting go Letting God heal grief is easier said than done, isn’t it? Why? It’s our human nature to not want to let go. That said, however, if you want to break free from the sadness and sorrow that comes with grieving you must give your grief to God.

Working in oncology is downright difficult at times because you get so attached to both the patient and their family. I often get asked “How do you handle working in this type of environment day after day? I say, one word…God.

How Does letting go letting God Heal Grief?

I’ve been in a season of grief for what feels like forever. From losing our first grandchild to SIDS at 4 1/2 months old to my Mama, baby Brother, two in-laws on the same day, and lastly my stepdad, all close together have left me trusting God and His strength more than ever.

God Is your comforter

Sometimes, when we’re experiencing loss from sorrow and heartache all we want to do at the moment is push aside our grief so it can’t gain control and overwhelm us with its intensity.

Of course, this is normal, but the longer you avoid your pain and attempt to push it away, the more difficult it will be to process it and move forward.

Meaning Sorrow In Grief

When we talk about the actual meaning of sorrow then sorrow is an emotion, sentiment, or feeling. Sorrow, in my opinion, is way more intense than sadness.

How Long Will Sadness And Sorrow Last?

In all honesty, there’s no specific timeframe for grief. No two people are the same and every person grieves differently. You can not judge your grief by someone else’s.

So, that being said, whatever seems right to you is okay. Anything less is counterproductive. Just give yourself time and patience so your grieving process will go more smoothly for you.

How Do You Deal With Sadness And Sorrow?

Make sure to eat even if you don’t feel like it, ok? You got to take care of yourself too. Sleep is also important for your overall health in general.

Make sure you surround yourself with friends and family regularly. Do NOT isolate yourself and be secluded because this will only increase your feelings of sadness, depression, and mourning. I’m preaching to myself here too!
