There is an “After” to Your Pain

And God spoke to Moshe after most of the children of Aaron after the death. The Torah is telling you a very deep idea not only with the story and the narrative but just with those two words. You know, for many people who suffer through unimaginable suffering or trauma, they are stuck in a trauma cycle in a grief loop that they never get out of. And now there are some people who get caught in pain to such a degree that they never emerge. To those people, says the pasuk after most, there is an after. Not only with regards to Olam Haba not only with regards to the person who passed away but to those who are still here. You suffered. You were broken. You're in mourning. You're in pain. You don't know how you're going to move on. There is an after. It might not be today. Maybe it'll be tomorrow. Maybe it'll be 6 months. Maybe it's in a year. But there is an after to your pain. There is an after most.
