Grief is my constant unwanted companion. Grief is demanding and jumps up in your face when you try to push it aside. Grief is like superglue. It sticks tight and won't let go. You just have to wear it off and it takes a long time if ever. Grief is sneaky it hides for a while, lurks in the shadows, then jumps out when you least expect it. Grief is like the most annoying, disruptive, ignorant, horrible person you know. You try to avoid it, but it always seems to find you. The only good thing about grief is that it causes you to rely more upon God than yourself. Grief will always be in this world, but God will wipe all tears and sorrow away one day. Grief will go away forever. Hope is my best friend. Hope is my Lord.
but I would sooner love and weep than never to have loved at all

That is perhaps the most accurate description of grief I have seen. May your faith, family, and friends sustain you.
