This is a great help during times of grief and sadness, because it helps us face and embrace what is happening while inviting God to help us with it. The Ignatian practice of indifference is helpful, too, because grief has a life of its own, and we can't control how or when the feelings ebb and flow. Indifference allows us to let go of a need to control that. Thanks for this post, Tim.
