I am in a season of grief right now and it is like the ocean, sometimes the waves are small and other times they come crashing down. My heart knows I will not be like this forever. I remember grieving when our son was young and his toddler and preschool days were not like other children, or when I realized my son would probably never have children, so I would never be a Grandmother. Facing it head on. This loss will take more time, but like your morning glories and the blue wildflowers in my garden, they represent God’s promises which are renewed every morning. So I trust God will be beside me as I carry on with my life. And for you, I promise the next stage of Motherhood will be different but just as exciting.
Thank you for sharing your heart, Sharon. I don’t think one ever stops grieving that kind of loss, but I hope for a future when the crashing waves of grief become fewer and fewer. I love that you have blue wildflowers, and I love what they symbolize to you. I’m a firm believer that God is with us, and sometimes it’s those little reminders that help us through. Love and peace to you. ❤️
Yes, yes, yes! We don’t talk enough about grief. It comes in many forms as you say and the only way to deal with it is to face it dead on as you say and allow ourselves to feel the pain. Unfortunately I think so many of us are taught to avoid or deny the pain.
This was such a beautiful post for me to read, as I can easily relate to it due to various circumstances in my life right now. Thank you so much for your vulnerability and honesty. I have always aspired to be like you, and I continue to the older I get. This planet needs more humans like you 🤍
Elisa, I think this is the kindest comment I've ever received, thank you. 🥹 I think you're doing a beautiful job of just being you. ❤️ May your heart stay open and gentle, soft and compassionate in this upside-down world. We need more people like you, too.
