Grief Bites: A New Approach to Growing Through GriefSample

When going through grief, relationships can suffer. Words can be said in the heat of the moment, blame can be properly or improperly placed, and unintended rejection can occur due to grief and one's heart breaking. When we get upset with someone we love, it's a lot easier to focus on one hurtful incident than all the good of the person and the entirety of the relationship. Today, ask yourself what you can do to be a peacemaker in all your relationships. Work out your relationships to the best of your ability today. Be humble, loving, compassionate, and kind. Apologize when needed. Do your best to be understanding. Grief is messy and very hard work. Lean into each other, don't isolate or drift apart. People are treasures and relationships are blessings! Life will not always be the way it is today...healing takes time. As much as it depends on you, be a peacemaker, love others, and show compassion, mercy, and empathy to everyone in your life.
