Hello Sarah, thank you for sharing. For what it’s worth, the dead know nothing, according to scripture, they sleep until their resurrection. We will all get to see all our loved ones again. And in a better place at a better time. Man’s time to go work out our own ways of living of governing of being held captive, without yet knowing who & what we are, what our purpose is, or what our Incredible Human Potential is, is just about up. In the time we have just ahead of us, as it does, it always gets darkest just before dawn🌅 The greatest question right now is that of human survival. Once we have learnt the lessons that we are simply incapable of ruling over ourselves… then we will be humble enough to listen to that strong hand from someplace, that has a purpose being worked out here below. That Dawn 🌅 is not too far away right now and is almost at the door… after which is the best news we could ever imagine. For everyone who has ever lived. This is only phase one, for us to prove to ourselves that everything we have ever tried (on our own, doing it our own way) hasn’t and will never work. And to realise, there has to be another way, and it is Not In Man. So keep on keeping on, as best you can, cherish & relish every moment with good friends & family, count what blessings we have, of food, clothing and shelter, and whatever peace, in a day, with this upcoming Thanksgiving. Take Care, Agape, Paul
Thank you for sharing your thoughts Paul. While I don't find that to be the way my grief and thoughts wander, I hope it brings you some comfort. Take care, Sarah.
🫂❤️🩹🙏🏻 Praying for your tender heart in this seasonal intensification of those weighty, long griefs. I lost my mother this year too, so we’re walking that together.
Hey, Sarah, I’m so so sorry for your losses. You’re like me. Lost my dad in 2010. I firmly believe that when you lose a parent, you’re never the same. I’m not even remotely the same girl I was before he passed.
Lost my second husband in 2011. Lost my sister,my BFF, in 2015. Then the one that really gutted me, I lost my son in 2021. He was my last baby. I’m a retired registered nurse. I can’t tell you how many patients I had that dealt with the same thing. Losing members of your immediate family truly sucks. I REALLY feel you. I’m sending you lots of love, hugs, and prayers. I believe when it’s our time, we’ll see them again. Hang in there.
I too feel like grief is always hanging around, changing form, showing up when I don’t expect it. Somehow your recognition of the ongoing nature of grief feels validating. I appreciate your heart….
I recommend Mary Oliver’s poem “When Death Comes” and a subscription to “A Hundred Falling Veils”.
May you enjoy many unexpected blessings.
Thank you. I love and adore Mary Oliver. I’d also see Rosemerry’s work before but now signed up. 🥰
Sarah, my heartfelt condolences in your many losses.
Thank you so very much Rosemary.
I don’t want to or like to grieve but at my age it is something that has to happen.
I have found when I lean into my grief, my whole world expands. Take care of yourself. As we age it certainly comes more often. Thank you for sharing.
🙏🏻😥
Thank you Monica.

Thank you Christina. I'm so sorry about the death of your own mother. Keep your heart gently held.
