Suspended in Time

You’ve lost someone.
It’s like a bad dream and you feel like you’re acting on auto-pilot.
It’s as if you are suspended in time.

Like shock, denial too is a natural reaction to a painful event. It protects us against having to face the harsh reality, something we can’t handle. Yet.

Life seems to pass in slow motion; hours and days seem to go slower.
God created us in such a way that our senses are (temporarily) numbed.
And then, gradually, we can come to grips with our loss.
