About

Welcome to my blog.  I began posting after my best friend and husband of 28 years lost his battle with cancer.  Eric had his first cancer diagnosis in 2004 and two times chemo treatments had done their job and he was active and feeling fine.  The day after Christmas 2007 we were told leukemia had manifest and it was extremely aggressive.  On February 19th, 2008 Eric got to see Jesus face-to-face.

This blog has been about my journey through the process of grief.  I’m still on that journey.  I am grateful for those of you who read these posts and send your encouragement my way.  Friends and family are invaluable when your world has been turned upside down!

Eric and I have four children – two are married, one soon will be and the youngest is still at home with me.  We have been gifted with 6 grandchildren from ages 12 to 7 months; Eric was not here with us for the birth of the two youngest.

I continue to work in ministry with the people we have loved and pastored for 30+ years and am grateful for God’s watchfulness over me, my family and our church.  My change in ministry has been somewhat difficult but I love my work and am very thankful to be where I am.

I’m sure that someday this blog will become more than just a “grief sharing” page.  I have no intention of staying in a state of grief but I also plan to be real and honest about this chapter of my life.  There are many of you who have cried with me along the way and I’m sure you will also rejoice with me as my heart heals.
