Working through unexpected Grief at the Master’s feet!
The date on the calendar means nothing until it becomes time stamped by an impact to your heart, and then you’ll never forget it!

Don’t let what society doesn’t know dictate your grief journey.
There is not one area of my life (Physically, Emotionally, Spiritually, Relationally, Financially, Professionally, etc.) that hasn’t been affected by grief! I would dare say that as advanced as we think we are in today’s society, the majority of people are living in the dark ages about grief.

Broken beyond repair!
“Wholeness does not mean perfection: it means embracing brokenness as an integral part of life” ~ Parker J. Palmer I don’t know if you have ever had one of “those” weeks?
