A New Way to my Heart

When you go through something like me and my family have, a lot of people ask if there is anything they can do. Most of the time you say 'oh, no, I'm okay, thank you anyways'. 'I think we are good' is also a biggie.

The most important thing you can do is to offer. 'May I bring you dinner or lunch?' 'Can I pray for you?' 'Would you like to talk?'

I had to open up and let people in. I let people bring me dinner, lunch, pray for me call me to talk, even if we didn't talk about what was going on. All I need is words of encouragement. I have received cards, texts, phone calls, and hugs.  

We appreciate everything everyone has done. I want to thank the ones that have reached out a helping hand and made me feel loved. Thank you to those of you who brought us meals! They were delicious!

To those of you who have told me I am brave, I am courageous, I am strong. I want to thank you. I love that you see those qualities in me. I have learned to listen to those and now believe those. I do deal with loss very differently than others and I didn't think that made me brave to speak out about it but now I see it does. If I can help just 1 person that has to go through this, it is all worth it!  


Thank you and I love you!

Just some of the sweet words sent to me!

xoxo,
