Grief / Loss and Lament
Grief is intense emotional suffering caused by a loss.
Grieving is like entering the valley of shadows. Grief is painful. It is work. It is a lingering process. It is a healing journey that can last anywhere from one to three years, and for some a lifetime. Some people never get through the process of grieving.
A sudden death can be more difficult because there is no warning and no chance to say goodbye and begin to prepare for the loss.
Grief is not always just about death. It can also be about divorce, life transitions, disaster, misfortune.
