Learning To Bear The Burden


I told the two children with me that morning that we were going to survive this awful blow.

And we have.

It has been hard and ugly and more painful than anything else we’ve ever had to do. 

But we’re still standing.

And I want to encourage the hearts that are just starting down this broken road:  You really CAN make it.

Some of you reading this are saying, “But I don’t want to make it.  I want to lie down and give up and be out of this pain.”  

I don’t blame you.

This is a record of my grief journey and a look into the life I didn't choose.

  1. Thank you for your encouraging words! I too feel that every day since our daughters death has been a struggle filled with many emotions! We have Sara”s son, and our son and his family! When I feel like I don’t want to go on, I think of all of them, and put one foot in front of the other! That’s the only thing I do some days!
