Loneliness

When “Memories” of my dear husband began to fade an intense lonesomeness invaded my soul. I knew things would NEVER, EVER again be the way they were. I had left the room called "Memories" and now found myself in a place where a haunting melody filled the air, like a bird lost at sea. It ripped at my heart. This room was called "Loneliness.” There was no one but me as far as my eyes could see. I was alone with my pain.


I must admit that on a few occasions, I fell down a trap door to the dungeon of the mansion called “Despair.” Very dark down there; a room without hope. When Loneliness and Despair became too much, I found a secret passage back to the photo albums and home movies.

I so know what you mean. My mom died in 1981 and I hate how hard it is to remember her. Just snippets, feelings really, but nothing tangible.

Looking forward to seeing you Saturday! I'm going to be asking you for advice about how to help my friend who may be entering her own grief mansion any day now. Though I'm still praying/hoping for healing!

blessings,
