Memories
Everywhere I go, I have memories of Rich. That can be both a good thing to enjoy and lift my spirits or a hard thing that brings me sorrow and fills my eyes with tears. Went for labwork today. It was hard for me. I had all I could do not to cry. The last… Read More ›
Grief and More
I am still attending grief support meetings. They help. I started attending bible study. It’s the Gospel of John which is my favorite gospel, so I go, hoping to find comfort. It is still hard. I am so sad and I cry a lot and I feel so alone even in a room full of… Read More ›
Forever Love
In one of my readings or videos on grief, I came across this line (I’m not sure where it is from): “There is no ‘getting over’ your loss. There’s just getting accustomed to your new way of life.” Oh my. How true. I am no way “getting over” my loss. But I am good at… Read More ›

A Forever Love
Jesus said: “Come to me, all who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.” – Mt 11:28 This has long been one of my favorite scripture verses. No doubt. No need to think about it. As a child, I often went to church alone to find rest and love and peace. Church… Read More ›
