Some hurt happens and then it goes away. Some hurt happens and it lingers into a kind of grief. Grief stirs because the realness of a situation becomes feared. Sorrow starts to outweigh some pleasure principle. Most lingering hurt can come from the intensity of the memories. All hurt and grief points to the sometimes-hidden truth that death happens. We do not like to admit we are not God. We still want to control. And yet, true grief runs us hard into what seems an immovable wall.
And yet, the actual time of hurting may also be a time for healing. It is a time of reestablishing our faith degree. We have to remember John 8: 51.
