Grief often hides some of our most precious memories but, as healing takes place, pain begins to fade, allowing us to remember more and more of the connection we had with the ones who left us. That connection, that love, outlasts pain. As perhaps the strongest force in the universe, love overcomes death. As we remember those who served our country this Memorial Day - and their families - take some quiet time to feel your loved one's presence in the "other room." An expression being used a lot this year because of the Covid-19 virus is "separate but together." I think this is very much applicable to lost loved ones as well as family members and friends who are self-isolating. God's love is a bit like that. It surrounds us at all times, but we need to draw aside and think of Him to feel close. His welcoming arms are waiting. Comments are closed.

Way for Hope
Losing someone you love is difficult, but it can mean a lot to hear from others traveling similar paths.
As you face the autumn season, know that you are not alone. Look for others who care. Let them know how you feel. Spend time in natural surroundings and allow the peace of the growing world to comfort you.
