ANGRY AT EVERYTHING

 Angry at Everything

Grief evokes hurt and hurt evokes anger…and anger evokes an awakening within.  Where did this anger come from?  It’s like uncovering and discovering some piece of you that lie hidden but is now erupting and forced to come out.  We have been taught to suppress our anger or hide it so well, we don’t fully realize we had that kind of force within us.  Anger allows us to feel out of sorts, out of touch and out of control.  Yet, at the same time, anger can feel freeing, releasing and refreshing.  It feels like a jungle of emotions inside.

It truly is okay and healthy to feel angry…to get really mad at the circumstances, the loss, the unfairness of it all and even at the people who churn hurt feelings inside of you.  It’s when you finally open up that boil that is festering within, that the healing process begins.  If you stay stuck in your anger, then you may need help processing it, vocalizing it, and work towards moving it out of you or it will fester and grow even larger.   Opening that sore to release the infection held within moves you through a piece of your grief to a place that begins healing, whether that goes to resolve, acceptance or just wanting to be at peace with all that pain.

Be assured that if your anger is directed at God…God can take it.  That burning jungle of pain inside is what keeps us from feeling God.  God is with you inside the anger, the pain, the unfairness of it all and will also be fully with you when you are ready to open yourself up and enter into the journey of healing.  

God will not leave you for a moment….ever.

“I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,’ declares the LORD”

Jeremiah 30:17

GREED AND GRIEF

GREED AND GRIEF No doubt after the death of a loved one, money issues can arise that can cause disparity and disruption inside a family relationship.  Suddenly, folks who were scarce come out to claim their share of the family money pie.  The death of a loved one doesn’t always bring out the best in people as it can bring out emotions of entitlement, especially when larger sums of money are on the line.  Trying to deal with these difficult issues can harvest a variety of negative emotions and really can make it extremely messy inside the family system.  It’s always hard to put a price or value to one’s life after death, let alone trying to satisfy the financial quest of those who become filled with greed.   Greed is an emotion that can compromise one’s values – not value in terms of money, but the values we hold in our own self-worth.  Greed always begs one to ask themselves this question:  Is my greed really worth It? If you are dealing with fami...

HATE

HATE.   We should all hate the word hate.  Hate is an extreme and real feeling people can have for another.  Hate is holding a deep hostility with such an intensity, especially when someone has been wronged or deeply hurt by another.  Hate is derived from fear, anger or sense of injury.  In the case of grief, issues of hate can arise when someone we love has been injured or died because they were wronged by another, regardless of whether the act was intentional or accidental.  The problem with hate is that it can become all-consuming and fill our minds with such negativity and darkness.  Hate can and will stunt our emotional maturity.   When someone has been wronged by another resulting in the death of a loved one, it would be almost impossible not to experience the feelings of hatred toward the person who committed the act.   But working through the multitude of feelings that hatred can spring within, there should be more dist...

GRIEF AFTER DIVORCE OR BROKEN RELATIONSHIP

Image
GRIEF AFTER DIVORCE/RELATIONSHIP BREAK-UP Grieving after a divorce or breaking off a relationship with someone you once deeply cared for means taking a different road down the journey of grief.  Regardless, you still need to take the time to grieve the loss of an important relationship.  Not all relationships can bear the weightiness of working through disagreements, conflicts, jealousies, immaturity, and a variety of issues that crop up in staying unified in a relationship that involves two very different people.  Personalities, life experiences, conflict resolution and getting through tough situations takes a lot of communication and the ability to compromise, forgive, change direction and working together no longer works.  Many couples simply have a difficult time trying to maneuver through many of those life challenges.  Still, there remains an inner sadness because what was once a love story has soured into a relationship ending, oftentimes with unkind thou...
