First, I am so sorry for your losses. Carrying that has to have been so difficult. On the rare occasion when I feel discouraged in my writing, I ask God to please show me where He is making a difference through my writing. I had just such a day yesterday. Cold, rainy, windy, and gray….I spent the day writing and having conversations with God. I felt perhaps I was too tired or too old or out of things to say. Then He sends me you….you read it all? I am so humbled by that, and that it made a difference in your journey. Thank you for your kind words…and your perseverance! It’s beginning to feel like “War and Peace” from this end!

If you ever need encouragement, just send me a private message. My door is always open. This is what He sent me here to do.

❤️

I’ve spent a large part of the last two days reading your blog from the start of it thru your entry on 12 October 2019. I’ve sobbed reading your posts about grief. It’s true everyone processes grief differently but reading about your experience brought so many things to mind about my journey with the loss of my husband at only a few days after his 48th birthday. He’d been diagnosed with Stage 4 Metastatic Melanoma at 47. He became a quadriplegic about 4 months later when the cancer spread to his spine. I found healing in your words…even 22 years later. I also found renewed hope in life going forward…my life has been a series of stops and starts since his death. I realize that I was saying “Jesus, take the wheel” but I wasn’t letting go! I gutted thru life and buried so much of my grief. I’ve always been the caretaker of others…first my husband, then my father and finally the last 6 years of my mother’s life. All the while trying to raise a son that lost his father at 13. I will admit I’d lost my faith. I’m so thankful to have found your words. I made notes of scriptures you included and titles of the books you mentioned. It’s time for me to embrace my faith again. Thank you.
