Part of the Journey
I went to a funeral yesterday at which one of our elders, Mike McDowell, officiated. He shared a quote from C. S. Lewis's book, A Grief Observed. Lewis wrote this book after the untimely death of his beloved wife. In it he wrote, “Her absence is like the sky, spread over everything.”

I believe grief will color my existance as long as I live in this world. I handle it differently as time separates me from Krystal and brings me closer to reuniting with her but her loss does indeed spread over everything.
Hi Rick and Beverly, I fervently prayed for Jenny and still feel her loss, though I didn't know her( my daughter was friends with her), but as I listened to a Pastor teaching about Job the other day, he gave some scriptures that helped me with Jenny's passing! It gave me understanding that I personally needed! Maybe these same scriptures will also give you peace.
Isaiah 57:1-2
"The righteous perish, and no one ponders it in his heart; devout men are taken away and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death."
Continued blessings for you and yours,
MaryAnn Rojas
