Mourning

I wanted this to be an almost-daily blog, somewhere I could post thoughts short enough to read quickly and, hopefully, meaningful to mamas of different walks. It has been almost a month since I posted. I have so few words for others these days: most of life is struggling to make it through each day. I am wearied of grief, and necessity of facing this loss has been overwhelming to me. This does not, at all, change the truth of what I have said, here or other places. Knowing these truths, having these truths, makes the loss bearable, but it does not remove the pain of loss, the fact that Sarah is in a different state of being. Truly, we are much worse off than she--it is always harder for the ones left behind.
So bear with me, please, as I seek to find God, and peace, in this time. Take with me the words of Julian of Norwich: "All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well."
