When Walking With Grief

art by: Eric Swanson-Dexel

Do not hurry as you walk with grief;
it does not help the journey.
Walk slowly, pausing often.
Do not worry as you walk with grief.
Be not disturbed by memories that come unbidden.
Swiftly forgive, and let Christ speak for you unspoken words.
Unfinished conversations will be resolved in him.
Be not disturbed.
Be gentle with the one who walks with grief.
If it is you, be gentle with yourself.
Swiftly forgive; walk slowly, pausing often.
Take time; be gentle as you walk with grief.
