Anger: a strong feeling of displeasure and usually antagonism
In the past month after the loss of my friend I have asked the following questions: “Why did this happen?”, “How could this happen?”, “Why would this happen right now?” and I even asked God “How could you do this?”. I was rushed with what I call hot emotions. I’ve been mad, angry, upset, and furious. If I'm honest with you these are emotions that I was feeling toward God. You may have gasped when you just read that last sentence, but I know this is an unspoken truth of myself and many others. I felt as Martha had when she went to meet Jesus and she told him had he been there that Lazarus would not have died.
We may find ourselves trying to find a to place the blame to try to make some sort of sense of what has happened. The emotions produced in this phase often lead to feelings of guilt because of some of the thoughts or even words that may have been spoken. You see, anger is a secondary emotion, and it is a protector. Anger often acts as a guardian of hurt and fear. God can see beyond that barrier. He is not taken aback by our declaration or questions. In fact, He wants you to bring it all to Him. He is big enough to hold every bit of pain that flows from the reservoirs of our hearts. You can trust Him.
About this Plan
Grief is the proof that we have loved and an undeniable process that we will all face at some point in our lives. This plan will walk through the Five Stages of Grief. The process of grief is circular so there is no definitive end or time frame that can be placed on it, but undoubtedly, He will be there through every second of it.
