I’m in awe over your ability to write so eloquently in the face of grief. I’m more of the “shove the feelings down deep and maybe pull them out later and share them” kind of writer. This is so raw and honest and open. And inspiring. Very inspiring.

I know healing will come. Right now thinking equals pain for you, but it also still equals creating. You are creating a tangible link to those memories you want to hold onto.

This post reminds me of standing in water much the same after saying good-bye too soon to a baby I also loved. Your Mabel and my little one…in heaven together today. More water comes now, tears that pool in my eyes–for you, for me; they overflow with longing and loss even three years later. My heart aches and prays with yours today. There is hope ahead…and until then, God keep you close in His comfort and wrap you in the love of many who care about you.

I am moved by your words and wish i had perfect, comforting things to say. Your words about the Holy Spirit touched me deeply. Praying you feel His embrace.

I wish I could say more than “I’m sorry.” You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I saw Janice’s comment above and have to agree. Your writing is incredible…from deep down in your soul.

Thinking of you. Every day.

I just want you to know that I am thinking of you and praying for you and your husband…grief is different for everyone, like snowflakes, no two people grieve the same…but I have this memory etched, no – burned into my brain of whoever drove me home from my sister’s funeral needing to stop and get gas…we lived in a very small town and almost everyone had attended the funeral, but now here they were, getting something to drink and chatting all around me…like life was continuing on…and mine wasn’t – I was literally frozen in time…I got so angry I wanted to shout at them to just stop, stop everything – if I couldn’t go on, they shouldn’t be able to either…that feeling faded with time and now years later I can talk about my sister without crying, but it took time, a lot of time…

Just keep showing up. To the shower, to the page–if only to the fridge and back. And your people can hold the hope for you.

You have all you can manage, but we can hold the hope and wait.
