When the entire world tumbles about your ears, how do you find the strength to carry on? Is it a conscious decision, or does your body decide for you? When you wake up, how do you find it within yourself to get up and say “I, me, am going to move on and make this life work out for me”? Only by experiencing such a situation can we ever know fully what we are emotionally capable of. However, many of us experience similar situations time after time, and gradually we become immune to the effects of grief. I remember when my grandmother died, I wept for two days solid. Then my uncle died, followed by the family cat. Each time, the tears grew less and less. Finally, when my biological father died, I had no tears left.1
My question is this: is it possible to become immune to grief, or do we simply lock it away, ready for a time when it is needed?

I believe we come immune to grief. Somethings in life just wasn't ment to be, seems to me, all things in life was not ment for me.

You who once had my heart now lie cold in some foreign grave. I never saw you to say goodbye, nor did I tell you I loved you before letting you go. When they told me you were dead, I wept. How could this be? What kind of God took my only friend from me just when I needed them? 1 Now, though, I want to thank you.on Jun 12 1:56 PM, In Depression, Diary, Love, Memories, My own personal thoughts, Pain, Personal, Sad. 200 words. → 2 comments, Add one?
