The Great Sadness

If you have read the book, "The Shack," by Paul Young, you probably recognize the phrase "The Great Sadness."

It's what the main character called the feeling that enveloped his whole being after the disappearance and murder of his young daughter.

Yes, he continued to go through life, but he felt as if he were going through the motions. The Great Sadness overshadowed every part of his life. Joy eluded him.

I feel that way now.

And I don't think there's anything more to say.
