We are Not our Best Selves when We Grieve
I have taught others that grief is messy because our emotions are unpredictable and chaotic. But only now am I realizing that grief is also a mess because we are relational beings who have all kinds of relational challenges with people both near to our hearts and those at a distance.
Memorial Day Tribute to Those who Grieve
As I think of the countless graves of servicemen and women and I simultaneously think of those of you who have survived your loved one’s death. You are the family, husband, wife, parent, child, and extended relatives who have tasted significantly the bitterness of sorrow in their absence. It is you, to whom I wish to honor and give tribute.
