This is a letter that I will keep reading to myself as I pursue healing after the loss of my only brother. May this help another person who is navigating the deep pain of grief.

God does all the healing, in His ways and in His time. And in His loving arms where we can break and flourish all over again.

Make peace with abrupt endings and those unexpected crossroads.

Because when we forgive, we start to really heal. Not only that, when we forgive, our joy becomes complete.

How do you find the joy of loving and forgiving in big doses even before healing comes?

We can always choose to live with joy by seeking opportunities to be truly patient. Embrace your beginnings so that in this present moment, no matter how small it feels, you can find your own worthwhile story.

Something happens to the human spirit when despite our smallness, we let others shine

How do you choose life-giving thoughts even before tomorrow actually starts bringing in joy?

How do you find true joy when you feel inadequate and small?

How do you put together the broken pieces in your life?
