Grief has a traveling companion: Anxiety. And it is relentless.
Before Dominic ran ahead to heaven I had no idea that along with sorrow, missing and heartache, I would have to battle a creeping sense of dread that could turn an ordinary day into a nightmare.

I am so very sorry for your pain and loss. I’m thankful Papa gave you my information.
Wrestling with “why” is a huge struggle and one not easily overcome. I have written extensively on the blog about my own wrestling. If you use the search bar (easier to find on a tablet or computer) you can find those posts.
If you are on Facebook, please friend me. I can connect you to other bereaved parents-some whose experience closely resembles your own-and to support groups.
Praying that you feel the Lord’s loving arms around you and that He overwhelms you with His grace and mercy. May you hear Him sing love and hope over your broken heart. ❤️

Melanie….your Dad gave me your information today. My son, John, died Feb. 14th this year after battling cancer for 2 years. He was only 50. I am lost and struggling with why. Thanks.
