Grief

I made the promise to myself that I would post once a week. However, I missed last week. My friend lost her husband in a tragic accident. Last week was unfathomable and excruciating for her. Our group of friends made sure someone was there with her providing whatever support she needed, even if it was just mindless, normal, background chatter. I was able to sit with her for a couple of days prior to the services. Watching her walk down the aisle of the church on Saturday, leading and coaxing her small children while she silently sobbed, ripped my heart out. My heart aches for her. I love my beautiful, strong, broken, grieving friend. She fights a battle that I can not even begin to understand. I am emotionally, physically, and mentally drained. Even now, I’m not sure what to write. So, this is my post.
