The shock of tragedy intensifies grief. One moment life is normal and the next moment normal is gone. We spend the rest of our lives searching for a new normal. God graciously supplies the strength through His presence to step back into the race He's called us to run. However, we must choose to embrace and trust Him. We do not choose tragedy, but we choose how we handle it.
" The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory. This is my God, and I will praise him— my father’s God, and I will exalt him!" Exodus 15:1-3
By HIS mercy and in the grip of His grace,
Andrea Bowling Perdue

Lord Jesus, Plese help Andrea through this time. You know the need . That's all that matters. Wrap your arms of love around her and draw her close to you.

Quiet Spirit: These words are based from a time...well, from many times when I've faced tragedies. I shared them today as I prayed for many others who stand in their own tragedy in hopes they would help. Again, God bless you for your prayers. One never knows how many steps they are away from another tragedy.
Blessings and prayers,
andrea

Grief happens to us all. Time is a good healer, but it can help to acknowledge grief and take steps to heal. Here are 5 ideas that might help you cope when someone you love has died: Join in rituals. Memorial services, funerals, and other traditions help people get through the first few days and honor the person who died. Just being in the presence of other people who knew your loved one can be comforting. Let your emotions be expressed and released. Don't stop yourself from having a good cry if you feel one coming on. Don't worry if listening to particular songs or doing certain things is painful because it brings back memories of the person that you lost. It's natural to feel this way. After a while, it becomes less painful. Know that you can (and will) feel better over time.
Talk about it when you can. Some people find it helpful to tell the story of their loss or talk about their feelings. But sometimes a person doesn't feel like talking about a loss, and that's OK, too. No one should feel pressured to talk.consulta en linea medico en linea pediatra en linea medico en linea doctor en linea dermatologo en linea veterinario en linea veterinario en linea vet online consulta en linea abogado en linea abogado en linea abogado en linea abogado en linea abogado en linea psicologo en linea doctor en linea psicologo en linea abogado en linea abogado en linea Even if you don't feel like talking, find ways to express your emotions and thoughts. Start writing in a journal about the memories you have of the person you lost and how you're feeling since the loss. Or write a song, poem, or tribute about your loved one. You can do this privately or share it with others.
