God is perfect. God is faithful. God’s perfect faithfulness is our one true guide through the valley of the shadow of death.

What is it about grief that seems so at odds with the notion of recovery?

If we're experiencing a kind of mental, emotional, or spiritual inertia, we may be temporarily stuck in our grief.

When our heartbreak comes from a love that's pure, true, and untarnished, putting the pieces of our life back together is a labor of love, the work of grief that honors the love we shared with the one now lost to us in death.

When we grieve, really what we're seeking is the light that inspires our glow.

There are no seasonal "grief rules".

If this is the first holiday without your loved one, it's important to make a plan and structure the season accordingly.

Because of the rapid succession of holidays now upon us – Hanukkah, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year - November and December may feel like unending days of prolonged remembrance.

Gratitude has the power to release our heart and cleanse our spirit.

God directs our mind and actions in many ways when we pray for wisdom and insight.

When we're seeking rather than searching, we're about something deep and intentional.

God is with us as we grieve - as we remember, as we memorialize, as we live a life of rich, unbroken heritage in the love of those now lost to us in death.
