There are moments in my journey of grief that I feel self-inflicted pressure to show strength and resolve. There are moments that I feel the pressure of others speaking a false strength into me.
- It will be alright.
- You are a strong woman.
- God is with you.
But the fact is, there are moments I don’t want to be strong. I don’t want things to be alright. And knowing and believing that God is with him or me doesn’t make the pain invisible.
Yesterday I heard this song. It speaks to those moments of my life when I want to tell the world around me:
For now just let me cry…
For now just let me lie…
For now just let me be…
