When devastation comes along we often
wonder … “Will I ever be happy again?”
Happiness is the land we all seek.
Anne Lamont says, “I have seen many people survive unsurvivable losses, and seen them
experience happiness again. How is this
possible?”
Have you faced down death – either your
own or that of a loved one?
Anne says “Death will not be the end of the story.”
So where does one begin the walk of daily
restoration?
We start in the here and now. It’s a daily process. We do the hard thing – we grieve, we process,
we mull, we meditate, we seek counseling, and as Anne says “We find God in our human lives, and that includes the suffering.”
You take care of you – and if that means
you are thirsty, you get a glass of water, or whatever your immediate needs may
be.
Happy Land can come again, if you are
willing to do your part. It’s all about
wise choices, and following the recovery steps.
This is a huge topic. If you are struggling with this subject, please
consult a trusted licensed counselor of your choosing.
