We Americans tend not to want to feel things, but sadness (grief) is a part of the healing process. You'll get there, sweet lady. My thoughts and prayers are with you.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16600646161985648267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13465986.post-80658313681528234772011-02-09T23:11:42.498-06:002011-02-09T23:11:42.498-06:00Isaiah 40:31 has always helped me... especially wh...Isaiah 40:31 has always helped me... especially when I came to the same place you are at now... it isn't easy but one day at a time.. sometimes for me it was even one hour or minute at a time... getting through it forced me to depend more on God and that is the blessing I received out of the dark times. <br /><i>"But those who wait on the LORD <br />Shall renew their strength; <br />They shall mount up with wings like eagles, <br />They shall run and not be weary, <br />They shall walk and not faint."</i>srphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11751987787364198318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13465986.post-67519689914899720332011-02-08T14:07:36.404-06:002011-02-08T14:07:36.404-06:00I have been where you are Lori and believe me when...I have been where you are Lori and believe me when I say there is a way through.

Pain can not be circumvented, you must navigate right through the middle of it to get to the other side. At times it feels like the darkest of dark forests, and when you come to an opening you see nothing of promise, but like your sweet dog can see, an opening is a good place to see that there still is a horizon. Continue to walk toward the horizon.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05580107867795473557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13465986.post-58784567564672642502011-02-08T11:49:57.339-06:002011-02-08T11:49:57.339-06:00I like the perspective of G.T.’s photo.
