'In the midst of that pain, and perhaps as a balm to soothe it, is the power of gratitude to shift the focus away from what has been lost, to what remains, what is still possible, the seeds of hope,' writes KennethEMiller
I’ve always found it a delicate line to walk when it comes to suggesting to someone in pain that they have much to be grateful for. It can come across as callous, anfailure that doesn’t acknowledge their suffering. More often than not, I find that people come to a place of gratitude on their own, an organic process that doesn’t require outside assistance beyond the love and support of family and friends, and perhaps thesupport of their community of faith.
“In this difficult time, is there anything you can hold on to that gives you a sense of hope? Anything you can focus on that you feel good about, that comforts you and helps you feel more at ease?” Sometimes, however, the answer may be “No”. There’s simply nothing they can think of for which they feel grateful in that moment. That’s alright. The questions are meant to plant a seed, and seeds take time to take grow. The cultivation of gratitude in a place of darkness may be a gradual process.
