Shock is a front-end collision with human mortality. On impact, you experience the full force of shock. You simply cannot believe that the one you love has died. Even if you were there at the last breath of your loved one, there is utter disbelief. If death occurred suddenly and unexpectedly, your shock is intensified by the unreality of circumstance and the unfairness of death. It is incomprehensible that your loved one is gone. For a while you may feel strangled as anguish, distress, and sorrow overcome you. God is with you through the shock of grief.
