Grief is a personal journey-one that is different
for each of us. I've grieved many times, and I
have watched people I love struggle through
seemingly endless grief. I do not believe in telling
them "This too shall pass" or "Time will heal". I
think those are things goodhearted people say when
they are at a loss for words. When I read
Unspeakable-The Truth About Grief by Herb
Orrell I was struck by the feeling that he KNOWS
because he's been there. He has questioned
God because of his own personal grief and the
suffering he has witnessed.
He shares his journey through grief and guilt with
us. We go with him as he tries New Age methods
and questions when they don't work. We learn
about the basis for theology and the view most
people think they are suppose to have of the world.
He tells us it's okay to ask "Why?" and more importantly
it's okay to be angry. Why shouldn't we be angry when
someone we love is taken from us, or when we see
suffering? Should we stop being angry when we
realize the people around us are uncomfortable
with this? Should we change our tune and smile
when they cringe at our harsh words? Should we
feel guilty at being angry? Herb Orrell is an honest
writer who doesn't hold back. He shares his
experiences openly and we grieve with him.
Unspeakable is not an easy read. I cringed. I cried.
Then I understood, and so will you.
