Your not alone.

​Your not alone.
Some days it feels impossible.

You think you have a hold on the grief. You refocus your thoughts. You have stocked responses for every situation. You push the feelings down to keep on with your day, to keep it together.

And then you are knocked off your feet by a smell....
a song....
a place...
a fleeting thought...

And in an instant it feels just as hard as the day they died.  It all just feels impossible again.

You are not alone.

You will have days and moments like this for the rest of your life and that is ok. The grief is a part of you now, but it is not all of you.

Let it out. Be as mad or sad as you need to be. Yell at God if that is what you need to do. He can take it.

Find a safe way to release all the hurt out so it quits following you around every moment. Ask God the big questions. Talk to others who have walked down this path. Journal for yourself. Listen to music. Refocus your thoughts on gratitude. Pray for grace and understanding. FIGHT for your peace.

Despite all that has happened, God is still showing you the way. He has not abandoned you. Talk to Him. Look for the God Things He is placing in your life. God granted his ultimate promise of Heaven to your loved ones and ours. Don’t let the devil steal your peace.

Live in spite of the grief. Live your life with Faith Over Fear.
