Do you remember what it's like to be stuck in a traffic jam? Minutes drag on like hours. Your car creeps at a snail's pace. Other drivers vent their frustration by trying to sneak past on shoulder. Truckers linger back, creating huge gaps in the traffic. If only you could get around them! If only you could get to the other side of the mess. And you finally do. You move past the roadblock and spring down the highway free of obstructions, rapidly leaving the frustration behind. You've gotten to the other side. Grief has another side. Every ending contains within itself the seeds of a new beginning. You have to play a active role in your grief. You can't just park along the shoulder and expect the traffic to disappear. If you want healing to happen, you must take charge and consciously begin to build a new life.
