GETTING OVER SORROW

“Got over it”—strangely do people talk of “getting over” a quiet sorrow—overleaping it, passing it by, thrusting it into oblivion.
Not so! no one ever does that, at least no nature which can be touched by the feeling of grief at all.
The only way is to pass through the ocean of affliction, solemnly, slowly, with humility and faith, as the Israelites passed through the sea. Then its very waves of misery, will divide and become to us a wall, on the right side, and on the left, until the gulf narrows, and narrows, before our eyes, and we land safe on the opposite shore.
