Learning to place our time in God's hand is not easy but if we do it we will find peace comes with it.

Finding a way out when we feel stuck between yesterday and tomorrow is possible. We can learn to make new memories and find something to look forward to for the future.

Words have a powerful effect on us, so use your words wisely, and use God's word.

We took a trip to the coast after the funeral and stopped at Mt St Helens. The quote, "out of catastrophe comes opportunities. was on their IMAX film. I'll never forget it. .It's so true.

Eph. 5:19-20 says, "speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ"

we encourage ourselves that out of this chaos God will work a good work.

I learned I had to forgive myself if I didn't want anything to hinder my worship of God.

I learned that we need people in our grief to allow them to be a comfort to us and appreciate them.

"people who realize they need people and appreciate those people are the most blessed people."

Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another.

The heroes in my time of grief were the people that saw a need and just showed up to fill it. People in grief will not ask for help, and are not even aware of what they need. So, if you know someone in grief, find a need and take care of it. Pay it forward, encourage one another and build each other up, 1 Thessalonians 5:11

How God in the Grief made all the difference. The story of my loss.
