Yes! Lessons learned SO true!
My dad just died at 89 and it zapped me back to my prior wife Helen’s and my only son John’s grief – parts anyway that I thought I had Handled but apparently NOT
Prayers and love for y’all
Perfectly put. My similar list is:
I am not alone in struggling with grief.
I need not be alone in struggling with my grief.
My journey will be unique to me.
I may not always be ok.
It’s ok to not be ok.
It’s ok to ask for help.
It’s good to talk.
It’s good to share.
