Grief

The reason we have trouble getting through our grief is that the grief gets in our way!*

In-other-words,
--it is difficult to heal and live, when in fact it is the very pain, sadness, and anger from the grief that prevents us.

Or,
--it is like trying to shut the door to keep out the rain, but the strength of the wind prevents you from closing the door.

And,
--darn it is just extremely difficult and hard;

But,
--not impossible.

*(A Rumor of Angels, 2000)
