In the darkest hour,

where shadows loom,

Faith’s ember flickers,

dispelling gloom.

A journey through the night,

guided by belief,

Grief and faith entwined,

offering relief.

The heartache’s dance,

a solemn waltz,

Yet faith persists,

its melody exalts.

With each teardrop,

a prayer takes flight,

Uniting grief and faith

in the quiet of night.

A family member passed away this past week….

Grief is complex, with many highs and lows, the waves of emotions tend to hit me as uncontrollable tears flow. As a believer, I know she is in heaven, no longer in pain and at peace. Yet, I still feel such a loss, a void. a sadness that I think she never really would’ve imagined how much her passing would affect me.

Her light, unconditional love, words of encouragement and friendship, will leave a lasting mark on my heart forever. Thank you for being such a gift.

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” Matthew 5:4.
