TRYING OUR
SOULS
Those who must endure sorrow and heartache brought on by the departure of a loved one can at least derive some consolation from the fact that those who properly grieve become stronger from having done so. The acceptance of death poses a challenge to one’s soul that invites growth. It asks us to test ourselves in ways that we would not ordinarily be subjected. As a result, the bounds of our reasoning and faith are extended, and the depths of our emotions are plumbed to measure our compassion. As Phillips Brooks once wrote, “Wherever souls are being tried and ripened, in whatever commonplace and homely way, there God is hewing out the pillars for His temple "
Sometimes losses are so great they just bring us to our knees in pain. When that happens, it helps to have loved ones to talk to or just to be with until the wave passes and we can carry on. Taking time to allow grief its course is difficult, but it can lead to freedom and a recovery of happy memories later on.

"The mind profits by the wreck of ever}’ passion, and we may measure our road to wisdom by the sorrows we have undergone."
