When a traumatic event happens it will alter your world forever. Time will
stand still and you will have to consciously think to breathe.
The initial moment of impact from this life event will leave an emotional scar. I do believe some hearts never survive this injury.
Initially the hours that follow are in a fog. The tears that are shed drop like rivers over the edge of your soul like a waterfall. Your first night and night after night afterward you will drown in them at the bottom where they all collide.
Turbulence will tumble you over and over as you hold your breath to survive.
Surviving will become your goal. You will not know how.
Disbelief consumes the mind.
Making choices during this time is not advised but forced upon you anyway.
Making arrangements will catapult you into a world of choices that have never been made before. Hard as it is there is solace in this event. Preparing will occupy the moments that you did not know what to do with.
Greeting those who love you the most breaks your heart over and over.
Love flows between your embrace and makes a protective shield around you.
Layers and layers of love build your reinforcement. You can stand with
strength and be brave at least for a moment.
Saying a final goodby can not be described.
Each day will come and go. You will have to move toward something.
Make a promise to yourself to take your time.
Focus on your future so you can see where you are heading.
Trust that God will walk with you and lift you upon his shoulder when you can not walk.
With confidence take your next step.
