A Room and its View

I entered the room hopeful. I was in search of healing, and enthusiastic about closure.  When my time here ends I thought, I will have all the techniques needed to overcome.  I admit I was apprehensive, but grateful for the session would not be crowded. 

To my surprise, the room was crammed.  Every age group represented.  I was perplexed. Here I thought, I was one of the few.  Then again, I was learning that grief encompass many.  The narratives were as unique as the individuals.  However, the outcome was the same:  grief, devastation, and despair. 

As I viewed the room I could hear his words being confirmed.  The enemy comes but to kill, steal and destroy; John 10:10.  For the wages of sin is death; Romans 6:23. Death of relationships, death of love and respect, death of self.  However, I  was familiar with the second half of these verses and I knew that with Him I would overcome: " I have come that you may have Life- John 1010; The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord"-Romans 6:23.  So as I walked through grief I was encouraged, for hope and healing awaits all the faces who filled the room.
