Through the blind uncertainty of grief, you have crossed and now ascend from the valley of the shadow of death. Your journey through grief has been one of slow, laborious footwork. “Even though I walk . . . ” (Psalm 23:4 NIV). You were not asked to jog, run, or race but to walk. You put one foot in front of the other, sometimes only one half-step at a time. But your direction has always been forward on the road to acceptance through the valley of the shadow of death.
