That so many people walk around with broken hearts often surprises me.🤍
In the last 2 weeks I sat with neighbors who had both lost spouses earlier in marriage than expected. 🤍
Last week my best friend lost her mother.
In the past week I met a woman who's father passed unexpectedly the same month as Todd this year, and in the same day I met another young widow and was blessed by her story and understanding of loss.🤍
It is so important to be gentle with one another, giving others and ourselves grace for the times that we are not or that it is hard. Profound loss will happen to all of us eventually. My neighbors said it best, "it's a terrible club, but if you're here you're not alone, and that's good."
Thank you to the souls who sit with me, who stay beside me, and who are gentle with me. You bring so much goodness to this shattered world.
I see you.🕯️🙏🤍
Happy Friday! -Forgive, offer peace, stay connected, and love one another.🙌🤍
