Waves of grief

Grief-it hits in overpowering waves; it’s messy and has no pattern. We are all trying to learn to process as the waves come. God is moving-He is in each wave, He continues to be so present as we join Him on this journey. Please be praying as we have to write our victim impact statements (something we’ve both been avoiding! ). It’s hard to even begin to write down how this has changed us. We also have a meeting with the DA next week. Each step we take is hard, but we just cling on to our Fathers hand as we step. He truly is the only thing that sustains us.

We could never thank each of you enough. We covet each prayer lifted up on our behalf. We cling to each encouraging word spoken, each card and text. Those things always come at just the right time. When we feel like giving up, like we are breaking, when the grief is so crushing. Please never underestimate what these seemingly small things can do for someone walking through a valley.

Aspen. Now it’s a reminder of her love and how she loved so well)
