What does it mean to be fear-ful?

Fear is insidious, especially in grief.

Is there healing from grief? Do we ever really recover from grief?

Grief is many things, but it is not an on-demand experience.

Earth Day, Arbor Day, yet another wedding Anniversary - the occasions of April that, for me, are heavy laden with beauty, joy, and sorrow.

When we grieve, subliminally we constantly assess the parameters of our trust.

The rhythm of the seasons is part of God’s order in the world.

On remembrance days, we are easily engulfed by a tidal wave of emotions, as often our grief is renewed and revisited.

Easter is a tender time when we’re grieving the death of one we love.

As we journey through the valley of the shadow of death, we seek answers.

When we’ve lived - even if only for a while - on top of life’s most beautiful mountain with the one now lost to us in death, grief may seem like a free-fall into the ordinariness of life.

“I am overwhelmed by the sweetness of life.”
