It's better to know ahead of time than to pass out when handed the bill. #healthxph

Hello! #healthxph

As it walked toward the front, it looked back at me.

"You know I’ll show up again one day?"

"I know. And it’s okay, I''m okay."

I shall go with you," it said, and I just nodded.

The next morning, Grief was still with me. We took the bus together in silence.

Suddenly, it stood up and said goodbye.

"I shall get off now. This is my stop."

"Alright," I replied.

Why did you show yourself today? My heart is so heavy."

"You remembered him. You held the guitar. You listened to his songs."

I cried again. Leaned back and closed my eyes.

When I opened them, I realized I had fallen asleep. I grabbed my bag and got off the bus—with Grief beside me.

As the bus moved along, a familiar pain pricked my heart, and suddenly, tears ran down my cheeks.

Grief tapped my shoulder. "Cry if you must."

"I remembered everything," I said.

Then it replayed in my mind like a movie—every tiny detail.

I took my phone and started recording a video of this familiar place.

The bus stopped in front of the hospital, and what came in walked toward me.

"Grief, you know I'm not happy to see you."

"I know," it said. It sat beside me.

Trusting that after death, eternal life in Jesus awaits, where there will be no more pain, sickness, or tears—only timeless rest in His presence. #healthxph

I've also come to understand that death is a miracle in its own way. There are times when we pray for death rather than healing, because it's death that can free severely sick people from pain and provide complete healing. #healthxph
