I have been through a lot of hurts in my trips around the sun, but the mother of all hurts occurred Oct 2023 when my middle daughter died suddenly. I look back at the journal I was keeping and despite the aching, screaming pain, I was giving myself pep talks. Looking back, even then I knew the pain a year later would be changed by the process of walking through all that pain. I'm glad you are able to go back and see the journey of pain you have traveled. My hope for everyone walking a stormy path takes time to love their hurting selves. Carrying hope with us is like having a candle that glows stronger as we heal.
Thank you. The timing for this could not be more perfect. I shared with my daughter, who is grieving the loss of a serious relationship a few years after healing from a difficult divorce. She’s feeling a double-whammy and wondering if it’s her. I hope this will encourage her to know it isn’t.
Thank you for this, MK. It does get better with time and the things we learn about ourselves and those around us during the heartache and the healing make us stronger and wiser in the end. Merry Christmas to you and your precious family and may Father God increase your blessings in the year to come.
Been there and yes, it does get better. It took me a bit longer to get where you are now and as you’ve said, there are some terribly dark days. That said though, looking back as you’re doing now it’s possible to see how that path that once looked so dark and thorny turned out to be just the right path for me. I can say that now with 20/20 hindsight. You’ll get there too.
Thank you! It's been almost 4 months since my boyfriend of 2 1/2 years dumped me for someone younger. As I approach my 50th birthday this coming summer, it's hard thinking that might never find love. I am trying hard to trust in the Lord and know that he has great plans for me. I just wish I could see it! Thank you for reminding me that it will get better! ❤️
You were so right! It must have warmed your heart to read your own wise and true words. So reassuring.
