Grief is a force of energy that cannot be controlled or predicted

Grief is a force of energy that cannot be controlled or predicted. It comes and goes on its own schedule. Grief does not obey your plans or your wishes. Grief will do whatever it wants to you, whenever it wants to. In that regard, Grief has a lot in common with Love. The only way that I can “handle” Grief, then, is the same way that we “handle” Love — by not “handling” it. By bowing down before its power, in complete humility.
