Faith.
Faith is the hardest thing to keep and the hardest to get back if you lose it.
I know. I have almost lost all my faith before.
When you are faced with a tragedy such as the loss of your child, well you tend to lose all faith. Faith in life, mankind, GOD. Trust me.
You lose faith in people because they turned out the opposite of what you thought, they lied, etc. You then have a hard time having faith in anyone else.
You lose faith in God when a tragedy strikes and you prayed every day, you were not only a good person, but a good Christian so why, why did you let this happen.
Faith. Faith is something you need. I have read quite a lot on faith and grieving and then realized I never lost my faith, I misplaced it. I grieved so much, I just couldn't find my faith.
It happens, everyday. When you feel misjudged or criticized by your faith community or church, find a new one. I promise God is sending you in the right direction when you make the move. I promise you, there are many faithful people that will help you.
Grief has no time limit. Sometimes, things can send you spiraling backward when you thought you had come so far. This year, 2019, has been pretty rough. I kind of think the 19 in the year is whats the deal. Regardless, I have my faith that I will make and, I have my God to help me too.
Matthew 17:20 "Faith can move mountains."
So true Carrie. I still struggle some days
