The term grief journey is used often and for a good
reason. It’s not a single episode or a
few days of public mourning. This is a journey
on a path that hasn’t been traveled before.
I think grief is more like traveling through a
maze. You begin to walk the maze and
come to a block, you may have to turn around and go back over your steps and
start again, you walk around and around the maze confused and anxious. Sometimes you think there is no way out of
the maze. Occassionally you meet a
fellow wanderer and the two of you can work together because you are
experiencing a similar maze. However in
the end the maze is yours to explore and walk through until eventually you find
your way out. You never forget the maze
and the changes walking it has made in your being, but you move on putting one
foot in front of the other.
