"Depression is a commonly accepted form of grief. In fact, most people associate depression immediately with grief--as it is a "present" emotion. It represents the emptiness we feel when we are living in reality and realize the person is gone forever. In this stage one might: Withdraw from life Feel numb Live in a fog Don't want to be around others Don't feel like talking Experience feelings of hopelessness The world may seem to overwhelming" (PSN) I want to encourage everyone that not everyone grieves the same. We all grieve individually and it takes TIME to heal. Face your feelings and never let anyone tell you how to feel. 

Scriptures: Philippians 1:6; 1Peter 5:6-7; John 12:32; Psalm 121; and Jude 1:24-25.
