Konner Johnson - The Journey of Mourning

 The journey of mourning is an interesting one and I was reminded of it when Kip Redick spoke about the death of his friend in class. Mourning looks very different to a lot of people but I believe that even though that is the case there is still both an internal and external journey. I think the fact that is an inward journey should not come as a surprise to most people, however I think people might not realize that grief and mourning is also an external journey. When someone passes away there is a void left in that persons heart one that often desires to be filled with something else. You could treat the death as a call. It creates an absence, calling the person to some sort of action. For some people mourning and grief can be a time to go on a journey of some sort. An example of this old be a Camino. Especially if it is your ig if isn't other who has passed away you want to do something to honor them. People will often also start a campaign of some kind. Breast cancer is a popular one. People will often also create scholarships in memory of the person that will be given to future students. Grief is terrible yes, but it also has brought about some pretty great things for a lot of people. Finally, faith is an internal journey.
