That's not right Aussie. I still grieve when thinking of my daughter. It becomes easier as time goes by but never goes away completely. Dwelling doesn't help but when reminded of it spend a little time with it and move on til the next time. They're waiting for you and rejoice in that an that they are free of the worlds problems .The permitted time for grieving is one week. You cannot bring anyone back and indefinite grieving is destructive. We are exhorted to cast our cares on Him who cares for us. Yes, Jesus was affected by the death of Lazarus, but He did not let it get Him down. If we will allow God to heal us, we will be able to help others who suffer.
2 Corinthians 1:3 & 4
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God."
I know someone who lost both parents in a car crash. She was just married, in her 20's. She kept focused on Jesus and refused to give in to self pity. I know widowed lady who did the same when her husband passed away. She had a cry for a short while and then got on with life. I came to the home as she rang me while I was at work. She was calm, offering the first responders a cup of coffee and dealing with the funeral home people who came. I was amazed, but I should not have been. She knows Jesus and her first reaction was to cast the care of the situation on Him.
God bless you
