The trees here in Michigan are beginning to change colors and leaves are falling. On my walk today I picked up these leaves:
Collin, my last child, is off to college. I made it through last year with all the “firsts” of Neal’s death. Now I’m all alone in this big empty house. I find myself in a double new season of life: a widow and empty nester. What now? I am trying my hand at cake decorating at JoAnn Fabrics and have joined a hospice grief group. It’s time to find some way to serve. I have no idea what I want to do so keep watching to see what God unveils!
Like these leaves we all go through changes in life. Each one is a different shape, different color and goes through changes at different stages. One thing I have learned with grief is that it is messy. You go in and out of stages never getting over it but getting through it. Each day is a little easier.
On the journey,
Trish
