Blazes - Quote on Grief
Journey of Hearts

TM
I found this quote on grief and
felt is described the emotions very well, as the Unimaginable Force which
over takes you. At times it seems that the grief is something that cannot
be tolerated anymore, but I believe more the way Laura does that Grief
can last a lifetime and can be a major force for change.
Grief -- the Unimaginable
Force
Grief is a tidal wave
that over takes you,
smashes down upon you
with unimaginable force,
sweeps you up into its
darkness,
where you tumble and
crash against unidentifiable surfaces,
only to be thrown out
on an unknown beach,
bruised, reshaped...
It is the ashes from
which the phoenix rises,
and the mettle of rebirth.
It returns life to the
living dead.
It teaches that there
is nothing absolutely true or untrue...
Grief will make a new
person out of you,
if it doesn't kill you
in the making.
