You may have heard people say something like: “Well, I can’t fall apart right now; I have kids to take care of.” That may be true, but what makes us think that giving ourselves the time and space to experience a loss will cause us to “fall apart”? In truth, you are more likely to “fall apart” when you try to stuff your natural emotions into a closet. You are also much more likely to reach for your addictive behavior to try to keep that closet door shut.

I think working in the headstone industry I've seen firsthand the diversity of the grief process ... I've seen families disintegrate and alternatively communities unite over grief.
It IS different though when you go through it yourself, and if Jehovah and the organization are not part of the equation the effects would be devastating.
But it is when we are weak that we are strong. Adversity may be the greatest test but it is also the biggest mirror into our faith, who do we rely on?
