A special message to all of those who truly love me and care about me... Its been over three years now since my world came crashing down around me...but my love remains as strong and unwavering as ever...and therefore, the grief and sorrow are still ever present as well. Sure, a modicum of healing has taken place in this shattered and broken heart...but in a situation like mine, where the opportunity for further pain is ever present and the likelihood of any semblance of closure is virtually non-existent...the healing takes place at a snails pace. I know that someday I will be ok...whatever thats supposed to mean, because youre NEVER the same after youve been torn in two...and that the days of happiness and joy will far outweigh the days of sorrow and grief someday...but today is not that day. Everyone heals at a different pace...and because my love is so deep, Ill be on this journey called healing for a very long time. I ask you to please keep this in mind before you offer your Biblical counsel and words of encouragement. I am so grateful for the many people in my life who love me and care so deeply about me...and I know your words of wisdom are true, and good, and solid...but theyre so incredibly hard to receive and process in the midst of intense grief. Sometimes, the best thing you can do...is just be there. This song, by one of my absolute favorite singer/songwriters, perfectly conveys what myself and others who grieve are feeling...and needing. When I first heard this song...I wept...FINALLY someone gets it and was brave enough to share it! I still cant hear this song without welling up with tears...it is so raw, open and honest. Its as if Jason, as he is wont to do, stepped inside my heart, had a good look around...and then wrote a song about what he saw. If you truly love me and care about me, please listen to this song...and then check out the comments, where I will link a brief video of Jason talking about the inspiration for writing this song. Thank you for your patience and understanding as I travel a road I was never meant to be on. My love to you all. -Matt Dont tell me when Im grieving That this all happened for a reason Maybe one day well talk about the dreams that had to die For new ones to come alive ...but not right now While I wait for the smoke to clear You dont even have to speak Just sit with me in the ashes here And together we can pray for peace To the One acquainted with our grief youtu.be/ullv_XN2d8M
