About this episode
"Grieving" by Steve Adams
A family friend lost her husband a few years ago. His passing still weighs heavily on her. About a month ago, her only daughter was taken suddenly after suffering a massive heart attack. Because mother and daughter were so close, this loss has really affected her severely.
I was talking to her last night, helping to troubleshoot an outdoor receptacle that was not working. I could tell she had a rough day and I commented that she sounded stressed. That prompt led her to talking about the weekend and, as the story progressed, she broke down in tears.
My heart just ached for her, but I realize there is literally nothing I can do to alleviate the pain. As I thought about it, though, I started to realize that maybe just being a trusted ear was what she needed. In life, we cannot always wave a magic wand and fix a problem or remove grief. Being honest, sincere and caring, can and does help others begin to work through the grief that remains after the funeral.
