Are We There Yet?

Are We There Yet?

When children travel they love to ask, “Are we there yet?” As you navigate life after loss, you may wonder the same thing. Some frequently asked questions are:

How long does grief take? 
As long as it takes. Each person has their own timeline and unique way of coping with loss. 

Will I always miss my loved one?
Probably so. But over time, the time of deep ache will be become more bearable, and memories of the person you’re missing will become gentle reminders of the impact they made in your life. Embrace it. It’s OK to always miss them. 

Why are people rushing me? 
People, especially those who have never lost someone close, may make insensitive comments about how long your mourning lasts. If someone is in a hurry for you to “be yourself again,” remember they did not experience your relationship with the person you’re missing. Take as long as you need. 

What about closure?
Have you ever heard the saying “Closure is for bank accounts not for love accounts”? The last thing you want to do is to try to “get over” someone you love! Grief and mourning help you process the emotions of sorrow, remember the person you’re missing, and take steps toward healing and a joy-filled life.

But I thought about my family, love ones and my mates and how unfair it would be for them, if I allowed my grieving to deteriorate me. I thought about the lives of others that would be affected if I had passed away. With all these thoughts running through my mind I knew at that point my Heavenly Father gave me his strength to choose life. There are too many widows allowing their grieving to become a stronghold, as if they have shackles around them. The enemy does not want you to move forward, he wants to break you. Moving forward is hard but letting go of the past is the hardest. God allows us to g...

Hey Y’all, Sharing time lol. He Is My Fortress, April month is a challenging month for me, losing my husband was the most toughest challenge I had to face in my life. I know that God was always there for me when I was really weak and when I was about to give up. God also gave me other ways of his Love, Help and Support. He gave me my amazing sisters Suita Taupau and Mileta Taupau, my loving parents, my family and my mates. God uses you as a vessel to help others, every good deed you do gives God the full Glory he deserves. Let’s tap into the WORD. Psalms‬ ‭91:2‬  I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust Let’s be real! According to Strong’s Concordance, the Hebrew word for “Fortress” is, ‘matsuwd which means, “Net, fastness, castle, defense, stronghold, or strong place.” God is my strong place.
