oh sweet Linda, I am 6 months in, and I can only say it gets worse, and better-I know you will understand that statement
I pray you can find something more comfortable financially as well as maintenance friendly. Everyday life requirements can make grief harder to travel-it is so challenging to ask for help even when we need it the most, so I am asking for God to send you the resources you need.
my heart goes out to you, Pam, in your grief. Coming up on two years since losing my son, and the grief morphs, evolves, ebbs and flows as I learn to live with it, carry it, and be moved by it.
Thank you for this vulnerable, honest share, Linda. Hugging you across the miles in this terribly tenuous time on top of your very real and necessary grief. I appreciate you writing about Hope as I prepare for my Finding Hope Within retreat tomorrow, feeling how elusive it can seem on so many days. And yet, it's here in the simple and beautiful things and moments you mention.
I pray your retreat will be transformative to all. You're so brave to be out front doing good. I so admire that. Peace and Godspeed tomorrow. Love, Linda
I'm having no good very bad days too caring for my husband. Watching in horror as we lose sanity in our country. Worrying that our social security will disappear. But I would still help with your yard work if I could. Your posts breathe life. Keep it up.
The last year of my husband's life was pretty difficult. I know how you feel. I'll come help you with anything you need! I so appreciate your support. Keep looking for the hope. Love and hugs, Linda
First I want to reach out with a tender, 30-second-plus hug (to release the endorphins) and then I wanna go slap the person you rent from. She must know you lost your honey! Then I wanna slap her again because the first time felt good. People!
I see it this way--if I tell about my challenges in an honest way, others might feel brave enough to be genuine too. That way we can love and help one another. Hugs, Linda
Ladonna, God IS faithful and I am hard pressed to find any separation. Sometimes things just feel overwhelming. Good thing He carries me through. Hugs, Linda
