GRIEF:
Thoughts, Meditations, and Encouragement

 

 

Today, April 19, 2023, marks the two-year anniversary of Mary Jane’s passing. How quickly the time has gone by!

Over that two-year period, I’ve accumulated, from various sources, more than 150 thoughts, meditations, and words of encouragement related to the grief that we all experience, on varying levels, because of the loss of someone or something important to us in our lives. I’ve found these thoughts to be helpful to me in dealing with the loss of my wife of almost 62 years, and thought they might be helpful to others who are experiencing the grief of a loss. So, I’ve created this page in my blog in the hope that others will find comfort and encouragement during their time of grief.

These images are arranged in random order without any special significance to their sequence.
