Is There an Irritation Stage of Grief?

I am cranky and bothered. I can’t wrap my head around issues that melted me down yesterday. Issues that rile up my sense of fairness in the lives of those I love. I feel my discontent rising, expanding, clamouring for a voice…

Do I speak or keep my silence? How do I tell the difference between righteous indignation and a world colored by the irritation of grief?

And Jesus replies:

“LET ME HELP YOU through this day. The challenges you face are far too great for you to handle alone. You are keenly aware of your helplessness in the scheme of events you face. This awareness opens up a choice: to doggedly go it alone or to walk with Me in humble steps of dependence.”

(March 7: Jesus Calling)

And His truth begins to set me free.
