“Many people believe that if they have faith, they shouldn’t grieve. That’s not the case.” In a new video released by the Church, the journey of a grieving person is visually represented in stunning and visceral animation. So often with a foundation of the Gospel, members of the Church feel they shouldn’t allow themselves to feel deep loss or hurt because they have eternal perspective. However, as illustrated in this video, faith and sadness don’t need to conflict; “we can have faith and still feel sad.”

I experienced the sad experience of having my mother have a stroke that left her unable to talk or walk or care for herself. I cared for her full time for 2 years before she died and when she was finally gone I wondered where my grief was........it took a long time to understand that I had already lost the mom I knew and had already grieved that lose. It might be the same for people with memory lose Gary Beal.

I am in a similar situation, Gary Beal. This may not be what you need, but I took some comfort in a 1987 article published in Ensign titled “Death of a Personality”.
