Sorry, emotional post ahead. I seem to have too many of them lately, and yet all I can say is “it’s where I’m at in this season of losing my mother.”
This is what it feels like today without you here mom, lonely and lifeless.
When I think about her last moments and what they might have been like I feel overwhelmed. I’ve even heard myself ask out loud, “Where are you mom?” I know she isn’t here, and my heart aches again. Hard to admit for a believer that I utter those words, and glance around hoping for a glimpse of her, but it happens. Then I am so mercifully reminded that her place of residence has changed. That I will see her again, just not here but in Heaven.
As I glance out the arena gate I am reminded that there is abundant life ahead in the distance. I’m so thankful God is here with me, even in these hard moments, especially in these hard moments. What would I do otherwise?? How do others make it??
He sends encouragement through messages, texts, and prayers from friends, and family that show up at just the right moments. His Word always comes to mind as I contemplate what’s happening around me. Life isn’t always easy. And right now, it’s still rough, but God…
There is Hope in the shadows of loss.

There are moments like this in life when we face hard things and it feels like no one understands what we are going through. We can feel lost and alone as we navigate through the storm. The good news is that we are not alone. I am thankful we can find comfort in Christ and His Word; cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. Jesus is our comforter. ❤️❤️❤️
