It’s April. I survived my husband’s first anniversary. I am getting ready to begin spiritual direction again. I am getting ready to look outward rather than constantly looking inward at my grief and sadness.
The loss is still so real to me. I read that grief over losing a spouse can last over 2 years. It’s been 1 year. That year went fast. And yet it dragged as well.
That’s my life. Up and down and backwards and forwards. Smiling one day and crying the next.
My children and stepchildren all went to Mass with me on the anniversary. We went to visit him at the cemetery. It really helped being with them all. I know he was smiling down on all of us.
That is how I will get through this – faith and family.

Hi Colleen,
If you would be open to resuming spiritual direction with me I would be so honored. I don’t know if you only want in person sessions, or would give direction via zoom. I’ll keep an eye out for your reply. Thank you, Nancy Mitchell
