Thank you for sharing you. The course was insightful, inspiring and deeply thought provoking. I have learned grief has a life of its own. It can open your eyes, heart and soul in ways one never imagined. For me, it was losing my Mom and a life changing event all at once, as well as facing past challenges I didn’t deal with in my journey of life. I’ve learned healing takes time and not one set by human time. Yet, I am embracing it with kindness, care and gentleness. There are days and there are days it can be unbearable and painful. I have learned to just “be” without expectations. I have learned to trust God to carry me. Again thank you - you have given me different perspectives, ideas and things to try to feed my healing journey.
