I subscribed to this grief share support group. every day they send you little bits of information.........according to how far into your grief you are.... or how many emails they've sent to you. This is #60. I've found them to be interesting and somewhat helpful
They seem to be right on with describing some of the effects of grief. there's a link in this if anyone cares to subscribe.

Out of Control
Day 60

Not only are your emotions unpredictable, but they may also seem uncontrollable. This changing nature combined with the intensity of the emotions can cause you to feel disoriented, forgetful, and overpowered.

"There was this overwhelming feeling of being out of control . . . overwhelmed and watching life pass by," says Cindy following her daughter's death.

Your response to these uncontrollable emotions can be confusing to you as well as to others; for instance, sometimes you may want people with you, and sometimes you do not. You may also act in ways you later regret.

Job expressed this sentiment: "If only my anguish could be weighed and all my misery be placed on the scales! It would surely outweigh the sand of the seas-no wonder my words have been impetuous" (Job 6:2-3).

Precious Lord, You know the desires of my heart. In my confusion give me peace to know that You are in control of all life and You do not make mistakes. Amen.

Thank you Jane, my emotions have defiantly been out of much control lately. I guess it's like always, I just have to go with it and keep leaning on the Lord to help me.
Love, Cindy

Dear Jane,
Thank you for sharing this with us! I subscribed to the grief share my first year. I am thinking of subscribing again, as I am in a different place with my grief than I was that first year and may benefit from reading things differently now. Love ya!
Hugs,
Lynda
