When the unexpected happens . . . what do we do?
We hear statements like these everyday:
Why did this happen?
It wasn’t supposed to be this way.
I’m a good person, I don’t deserve to this pain.
But . . . suffering is rewarded in our society. There’s a payoff that accompanies grief.
May I vent for a minute? Recently I have heard several comments from people that seem to be fear based. They include indications of “needing to change themselves” and “stressing about what is wrong with themselves.” These same individuals also seemed to be obsessed with worry, blame, criticism, and a victim mentality.
