A friend recently gave me a gift and some of the pieces were coming loose. She offered to get her glue gun to fix it but I said I had one and could fix it at home. I’ve looked everywhere for my glue gun and can’t find it. So now the pieces that have come loose will have to wait to be fixed. In hindsight I should have accepted the help.
Grief is like that. You think you can get through it alone. You don’t want to keep bothering others with your pain. You think to yourself “they have to deal with their own lives and another burden will be….well just another burden!”
The “glue” that held me together is gone and sometimes I fall apart. But God is there to help me glue myself back together. He has placed others in my life to help me do that. Don’t ever be afraid to reach out to someone when you feel like you are hanging onto to last knot in the rope. Don’t let go. Ask for help. Someday your testimony will be the hope for someone else.
