Dear Jack,
As time passes, I thought it would get easier but it’s getting harder. It’s very discouraging.
Sometimes you think you are getting worse, but you are actually getting better. If you were in an accident, your traumatized body would initially go into shock. Hours or days later you would feel the intensity of the pain of your injuries when the shock wears off. In much the same way, Denial, Anger and Bargaining keep you focused on something other than your pain. These stages of grief keep you "safely" in your head and out of your emotions. God designs it this way because you cannot handle all of your loss all at once. It’s always two steps up, one step back, not the other way around. Have faith as your emotions make themselves known.
Love, Jack
