“When will I stop feeling so guilty?” “When will the pain end?” Two questions that have been asked by many after a traumatic loss. Our culture is not comfortable with the unknown. We need answers; we need to know why. 
This yearning to understand, further complicates an already complicated grieving process as we search for the reasons why our loved ones lives ended that day. Searching for the “why” is like searching for the “end” to our grief. There are no answers. Why? Because our loved one is the only person who truly knows why, and we are the only people who can dictate where the grief journey will lead. Sure, we have family members, dear friends, therapists, support groups, etc. to assist along our path, but ultimately it is OUR journey. We heal when we are ready. We move forward when we are ready. We release the guilt when we are ready. I specifically like the end of this quote: ‘You’ll come to your own peace, hopefully….but it will be on your own in your own time.” Keep walking the path.
