It’s Time To Take your Exit Stage Left!

In the theatrical world, stage left is to leave in a timely a matter. To depart, take your exit. Also, it is about the point of view of the actors facing the audience. We will stick with the departure. Taking the exit, stage left. Taking the exit gives us the way out. No matter what situations we find I self in there is an exit point. It is time to take your exit, stage left. It may seem that you have gotten in too deep and don’t know what to do, who to go to, or even which way to go. This is the time to look to Jesus. He will give you a way of escape, an exit out, stage left. Here is the way, trust is needed that you can get on the path that is right for you (I Corinthians 10:13).

This is an assurance in the strength you can get, when you are in more than you can handle. Death can happen and will happen. But we all can, in all respect get through any grief we face. What we are facing, somebody else is there also, or been from beginning to end in the same thing, nobody is going through by themselves. We can take a stand, and step into the life that was attended for us. If we give in this is where the line has been crossed. Grief is not easy, we need to reach for the strength that is available to us. Every situation has a way out. Time to take your exit, stage left, a way has been provided. When loss happens, everything turns into chaos. We lose self and, in some cases, even life, because of the feeling of being left alone.

The burden is heavy, it seems as if you are the only one that carries it. Losing someone changes everything, and on top of that life wants us to adjust. This is not easy, and it will take some time to build up to living with the loss. You have to learn how to adjust to the situation that has appeared in your life. Accepting that they are not coming back. Having to feel the loss is hard; all the while you have to listen to people saying that you will always have the memories. In this state you only have questions that you don’t have the answers to. In the midst of the grieving people screaming in your ears to accept the reality and deal with it. move on or give up. However, they are not you, they do not have your feelings, they mean well, but it is you going through this moment. It is ok to do things in your time, don’t be rushed, you will know when.

Choose the best thing for you, sit and think back on what you had to come through and see how you handled those situations. You might be saying, that is not the same thing. Oh yes, it is, if you had the strength to go through those things and made it, you sure can make it through this, you managed those times, you can manage this time. When my son dead that was the hardest hit that I have ever had in my life. I felt my whole existence began to slip away as I saw him lying on that floor. My head felt like it was going to explode, my entire body was beginning to do its own thing. Grief was taking over my mind, body, even my soul. At that moment I called on the name of Jesus and the strength that passes all understanding rested upon me.

I chose to accept what happen, but not surrender to the misery that grief was offering. Things will not be the same by far, because a loss has occurred, I lost my baby. I had to find a new normal, the old way was gone forever. I had to learn to walk alone, get back to life after his death. The enormity of the weight that was upon me I had to cope with, I realize that I had to live. When you have lost someone, you have the choice to in all respect to go under or get on with living. How do you do this? You have to get back connected with yourself that left when you heard the news. Do what is important for you to be able to face this thing called grief. Healing is much needed because parts of you left also. See what is best and do it, you are the only one that can. It is time to take your exit stage left.
