Grief Mansion

Grief is the process we grow through when we experience a loss. I experienced grief not as a series of stages such as Kubler-Ross wrote about, but as though I was the captive of a creaky house with many rooms. When I found a window, I could see that the rest of life continued, as usual, outside of the Grief Mansion. I longed to be there, in the sun again, away from my pain. The only way out was to feel my way down the maze of dark hallways, visiting room after room of this Grief Mansion. Each room became a place where God’s healing occurred.

This blog will explore issues related to death, dying and grief. The way through the mansion may at first seem obscure, but there is hope.
