Celebrating a Life: A Plunge into Darkness
http://nailtheacquirer.blogspot.com/2010/01/after-death-our-body-produced-double.html
Na'il of Blessed Memory! Tuesday, January 5, 2010. A Plunge into Darkness. After the death, our body produced a double dose of adrenaline. That's why we were able to keep going. But after a while, the visitors stopped coming and people phoned less. That’s usually the time people plunge into the deep darkness of grief’s sorrow. Our emotions are on the rocks – which makes us very vulnerable for spiritual attacks. In order to survive this phase, we may take hold of God’s promises. Tuesday, January 05, 2010.
