The Power of Silence

For each person who's grieving, words have different connotations. And I think it's important for us to parse those out and figure out what words are, are, are going to allow us to articulate where we're at. For me, suffering means all the things that come with the natural, healthy pain of loss: guilt, shame, anger, unprocessed feelings of ugly stuff. So healing wasn't working for me. But then it's like, well, what am I after for them? I don't want to suffer.
