How will I survive? How will I feel? What will happen to me then? What will happen to them?

How many times Father Mike Schmitz and this is a sense of presence? Not too long ago, I made a

video about death and just how Christians grieve. And so people have reached out to me and they've

said, okay, so they're not in that place yet, but they're in a place where they continue to

continually think about the death of their loved one. So some adult children think about the death

of their parent. You know, their parent might be sick or some parents think about the death of

their child or spouses think about the death of their spouse. You know, basically these really

big losses of these really significant relationships. And they were saying, I just like, I just,

I can't get to a place of acceptance. I can't get to a place of peace with this. I found myself

very, very troubled when I realized that here's my mom and she's sick. Here's my dad and he's sick.

Here is my spouse and I don't know what life is going to be like without them because they're sick

right now. And there's recognition of just feeling powerless. And really, again, truly being

so profoundly troubled by the impending loss of this person they love. And that first thing off

the bat is just like, that makes so much sense. Again, like I've mentioned in the video about grief

when it comes to losing a loved one is those emotions aren't right or wrong, right? The emotions

of sadness of our heart being broken or sometimes even, you know, people who reached out and said,

I thought my heart would be broken when I lost this person, when this person died in my life.

But I, strangely, I find myself being okay. Like I find myself being stronger than I thought it

would be. Is that something wrong? Is my heart muscle broken? Kind of a thing in my emotions broken.

And maybe pay attention to that, I guess, but there are no right or wrong emotions. And even right

now, as you're looking at the impending death of your loved one, there are no right or wrong

emotions. But it's sometimes just helpful to look at the emotions to understand what's going on
