Simple arithmetic no longer adds up. Forgetfulness and confusion during grief can make us question our competency, if not our sanity. Frustrating as all this is, it is normal, and these mental disturbances will lessen in time. And the grace of God is the glue. It is hard to describe how I feel.
Every emotion seems exaggerated.
It feels as though I'm consumed by the pain. We feel broken when a loved one dies. We feel a depth of pain down to our very beings. In the past, we may have thought we knew what grief would be like. We were wrong.
