Grieving Hearts…. Are You Hard On Yourself? I Am!

I am so very thankful that Gary Roe has given us permission to post his writings. I try and help people through the grieving process. I grieved so hard when Dad and Mom passed away that I sought counseling. Then after seeing how others grieved, and how the counseling helped me I went to classes so I could become a grief counselor. Always remember that everyone grieves differently.

The grieving process is not discussed in the Church enough!

Thank you Gary for helping us, help others. Gary also says he loves the FGGAM website! PTL!

In this week’s blog post, I share about how I’m notoriously hard on myself, even while I’m grieving.  I expect a lot of myself. When I’m hurting, I tend to expect even more. I add the grief to my life, rather than making room for it. No wonder I get tired, and impatient. Others grow impatient with me too – that I’m not “getting better” quick enough. Our grieving hearts deserve some space – and a lot of patience. Are you hard on yourself? Do you find your patience waning? Are others impatient with you and your grief? Read When We’re Hard on Ourselves (Even When We’re Hurting). I’m honored to have you as a subscriber. Please feel free to contact me. I’m here to help, if I can. Warmly, Gary P.S. I was recently interviewed about Please Be Patient, I’m Grieving on The Authors Show. You can listen to the recording here.  Please be patient with yourself today.
