Oh Sarah you just put into words what's on my heart. You have written about me. I don't know how I kept going, and still am, except that God was there even when I thought He wasn't. He saved me. Yesterday I was able to empathise with someone who is now going down that road. Bless you Sarah.

Amen and thank you. Needed this. In the mist of a long-term relationship that's breaking. Learning we grieve for many things. But through it all, I tr

ust in the Lord. I doubt things will work out. I trust the Lord that if it doesn't, He has something much better for me. Not my will but His.

Oh, Sarah. You've been there too. You could not have written this if you hadn't. I had to keep wiping my eyes to read this. I try to let go of all the dreams I had for Misha. Her grad photos from 2020 just came up in my.memoroes. Her beautiful smile with all her perfect teeth intact. Her eyes full of hope and laughter. I know he is here with us and I know I have much to be thankful for, but still there is a cry in my heart. As you said, that ache. The shadow that follows you. I'm told I'm strong. I am not. He is. Thank you for putting this into words and speaking right to my heart! ❤️🙏

Absolutely beautiful and spoke directly to my heart. My husband is waiting for an important medical test and his potential diagnosis has changed our lives abruptly. Know God is with us, but your words had a tremendous impact. Thank you so.

3 years after the death of a dream/relationship with a close family member and yet the shadow is always with me. Thank you for understanding that I am still showing up, still waiting, grieving and trying to trust in whatever His plan is.

Today should have been the marriage of our youngest daughter but 2 1/2 weeks ago they cancelled the wedding, uninvited our entire family and held a wedding, with the groom’s family, without us. The ripple effects of grief are immense but your words today are a beautiful balm that I will be sharing! Thank you for being faithful to write what you are called to write. You blessed me today!! ♥️
