A Sky Full of Roses: My Ordinary Journey of Grief

When she was born, your mother was already carrying the egg that would become you. You were with her from her beginning as she was from your beginning. Our mothers held us within their very DNA before they held us in their arms. For most of us, losing our mother is one of the most grievous challenges we will face in our lives. It leaves us broken, hurting, and in despair.I lost my mother on December 6, 2016. She was elderly, she had lived a full life, she was suffering, she was ready to be with the Lord. But I wasn't ready to let go. I wasn't sure I would ever make it back to a good place without her. Then I picked up a pen and began writing. I wrote about her, what she had meant to me, and I began to learn things about myself, and about the love of our Heavenly Father. Through these writings, our merciful Father helped me find a way back to His table. Whatever your place of despair, the King has a place for you at His table. It has been there since before you were born. If you are grieving, I hope these writings help you find your way back. to His Table.
