I’ve experienced life-changing grief and struggled for years with the physical changes, the emotional roller-coaster and the spiritual questioning. I asked ‘why’ more times than I can count, went ‘boldly’ (and disrespectfully) to the throne, and was confused by a pain I had never felt before. I believed I would never be happy again and had all but given up on fulfilling my purpose. But God! Through my trials, I discovered a path to true healing, deeper relationship with God and gratitude that continues to fill my heart. This is a story of faith, FRamily support and redemption that only God can author. And, I want to share this with you. If you are heart sick, tired of being stuck and ready for real change with Christ at the center …. Practical steps to make your hard days less hard…Understanding of what to expect physically, emotionally and spiritually…Solutions to those ‘gut-punch’ moments…And, Results that build your faith and allow you to enjoy your own ‘great day’ this is the place to be. It is possible, I promise! Join me today – take that first step of faith right now!! website: www.grief2greatday.com

SHOW NOTES
… The second month was different…no longer exhausted from caretaking but exhausted emotionally. I was surrounded by my peeps but less so (because after all, people had to return to their lives). I thought (quite literally I was going to die). I really did – but I kept breathing and even that was hard.
I didn’t understand how I kept waking up in the morning. What kind of purpose did my life have now? My fights began in earnest: the fight to get out of bed, to take a shower, and to care about any of those things. My fight with God also began…why, why, why? How could you let that happen, God? Why would you let that happen?
I understood and was drawn to Psalms more than ever in my life. Before I was all about Proverbs because that book told me how to live a godly life. It fit my religious life. But now Psalms and Job and all the anguish and lamenting. I understood it but I saw my situation differently. David lamented but praised while I lamented, blamed, accused and asked for understanding. I told God that 43 years was enough, and I had no purpose, so I was fine if my time was up too…
But God….
WORD of the Week “I came naked from my mother’s womb,” he said, “and I shall have nothing when I die. The Lord gave me everything I had, and they were his to take away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.” Job 1:21 Living Translation
