I honor your willingness to openly share your grieving heart, because so many have masked theirs. May your dream come to reality one day—and soon!

To let oneself feel grief is so hard, but I don’t think one can come to wisdom without it. Thank you for sharing your feelings, I hope this community can be a support as you keep swimming.

Thanks so much for posting this!! After dealing with the loss of my husband in April, I am now dealing with the loss of my best friend…She was diagnosed with stage 4 uterine cancer right after my husband died and as a nurse, I knew I was going to lose her too…Lately, grief has come in tidal waves and I am working on giving myself grace….I was just getting over dealing with how hard Christmas was this year and then my friend passed away…This is the 4th passing of family and friends in 10 months…I hope it is the last for awhile…Take care of yourself as I have learned that is so important to do….
Hugs,
Deb

We just learned this morning that our pastor’s father passed away last night, so your post comes at a poignant time for all of us. Thank you for the courage to share where you are in the process. Blessings!

I replied with a heart and praying hands, but it shows question marks. Love and hugs and prayers, Lisa!

One can find themself to seemingly be handling things well and then grief blindsides us. I find myself trying to grieve in the graceful, quiet way you seem to have mastered. When I think I cannot possibly tolerate another moment of this process, I find myself knowing I am blessed to not know the same grief you have carried for so many years. I will never forget and will forever be thankful for the birth of Jenna because I consider her the hiatus from your grief process for just a day or two before another wave comes along to hit you. Love you, sweet Lisa.
