Grieving is a natural part of healing. We not only grieve for the loss of a loved one, but grief can come when you find yourself in the midst of shattered dreams. When you place your energies into a dream, or worked tirelessly for a promotion, or to get the attention of a potential mate if it does not end as you desired, you have suffered a loss. When that happens, you must stop, and allow yourself a brief respite. There have been people who experienced loss, but did not have the strength to cope, feeling that their world had ended. They become victims of mental break downs, some physically hurt themselves, some ended their life, and some hurt others. When the branch of a tree is cut, or a flower is bent or damaged, there is a healing mechanism that allows it to continue to grow, and to thrive. You have a built in mechanism that takes you through a process to facilitate your moving through and out of your loss, it is called grieving, or spiritual healing. God knows that we ache emotionally when our dreams are deferred or turn into nightmares. He gave us the gift of grieving, to keep us mentally balanced as we move through our loss.
