I can't see it yet, (Rom 8:28) but I am looking because I know it is true. My beloved younger sister went to her new home in eternity in August 2023. I am a new reader, grief is such a hard thing, I can't imagine how anyone makes it through it without Jesus. Your blog is a blessing, thank you for sharing. If I ever get to AL, I would be honored to get a hug.
Hi Debbie. Wow, did you just make my day! Thank you. I am so sorry that you have lost your sister here, and I agree, the only way to actually move through grief is with Jesus. Anything else, in my opinion, would only be covering it up and trying not to feel it. If I was not a believer, I believe I would succumb to too much drink or worse, which would make me a pretty useless human being. I hope more people will jump on the Jesus road and receive the benefits of strength and healing. If you ever get to AL, I would definitely be up for a big hug!
Joan, early happy birthday to Mo in heaven. Prayers for you, your husband and your son as you celebrate this day a second time while she loves in her heavenly home. I love all your stories of "later you will understand" what He was doing to give you peace and support in these difficult days. God bless you all!
Thanks, Jill. I can see the stats on who reads and definitely had you as one of the people in mind, when I mentioned past acquaintances. You and I connected at Compucom partly because Mo was nearly the same age as your granddaughters. It's also striking that it is a game, Words With Friends, that had kept our friendship alive. I'll definitely try to see you next time I'm in Cincy. ❤️
My Daddy taught me that scripture when I was an adolescent. I’ve never forgotten the words or the promise and have seen that promise kept in my own life.
Prayers of comfort for you Joan as you navigate life without your precious daughter in this one. 😘❤️🙏🙏🙏

I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my beau to suicide March 6, 2021. It does get easier and the memories more comforting.

It is so amazing how the choices we make through our lives lead us to so many beautiful relationships we have now.❤️
I was also thinking of you while writing, of course! Looking forward to seeing you next month!
