SHOW NOTES
Grief is something no one wants to go through. And before I went through it, it death wasn’t something I wanted to talk about. A year before Monica died, our hospital’s hospice house was built and there was a grand opening, and all staff were encouraged to go. Monica was a nurse case manager who had previously referred many patients to out-of-the county inpatient hospices, so this was a great thing for our community.
Though the building was new, spacious and beautiful, we never went because of my uncomfortableness with the idea of death and dying. I felt that if I talked about it or worse yet – walk into a hospice house – it would happen.
Because of our uncomfortableness with grief and our desire not to talk about it, there hadn’t been research into dying until 1969. So, let me share a little background on how the Stages of Grief came to be and how they were NEVER intended to help people go through grief.
Today I’m talking about who the Stages of Grief were intended for; why this is important for your journey and how to manage your emotional rollercoaster far better than using the Stages of Grief.
WORD of the Week
I’m feeling terrible—I couldn’t feel worse! Get me on my feet again. You promised, remember? When I told my story, you responded, train me well in your deep wisdom. Help me understand these things inside and out so I can ponder your miracle-wonders. My sad life’s dilapidated, a falling-down barn; build me up again by your Word. Barricade the road that goes Nowhere; grace me with your clear revelation. I choose the true road to Somewhere, I post your road signs at every curve and corner. I grasp and cling to whatever you tell me; God, don’t let me down! I’ll run the course you lay out for me if you’ll just show me how. Psalm 119:25-32 (Message)
