I appear okay online, but I am not. [View all]

I don't feel as if I'm going to make it. And I don't particularly care.
I am experiencing deep, inconsolable grief over the passing of my companion girl dog in March.
I will not participate in any grief group type settings. Physically I'm not well and that just magnifies the emotions greatly.
The spiritual rug got pulled out from under me.
I went around quoting Scripture that what can be shaken, will be shaken. I received a shakening.
Still have my Faith intact to some degree. I 'know' Truths, but the carnal mind and reasoning don't feature them as palatable.
Thanks for indulging me.
Noone needs to reply. Just knowing you lovelies are here lending an ear means lots.
