Grief often feels like you’re stuck on a round-about.

There are many choices that you’re faced with daily and decisions to be made. But, you find yourself going round and round most days, almost in a daze. You mindlessly circle ’round, watching people pass you by, making moves and decisions that move them forward. However, there you are, caught up in an endless mind-fog of indecision. You find yourself stuck – like a hamster on a wheel.

If grief were a photograph, this is what I imagine it would’ve looked like – for me, that is.

Opportunity can be found everywhere if you look hard enough. When your heart is grieving, though, and you haven’t healed the darkest corners of your heart that reach far into the depths of your childhood, life can feel hopeless – not opportunistic.

So, what are you to do when you’re feeling lost on the round-about? You decide to take a look – deep within the darkest corners, to discover what’s there for you to heal. What is aching to be released? What tragedy has consumed your spirit and dimmed your light?

It is in asking better questions where we discover more profound answers. And, you won’t find them mindlessly going ’round and ’round.

Get off the round-about and step into the leading role of your life again. It’s been waiting for you.
