You are allowed… to weep, to take time away, to be with those who you love most and who need you most right now. There is a season for everything under the sun, and how wise of you to have seen that this is not the season for making leaps and bounds in some things, and for digging in and going deeper in others. Bless you as you take this time off… whatever that looks like. You have much to offer the world, but only if you are coming from a place of fullness. Be still and know, be filled, be loved. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Love, you Kelowna friend, Lesley-Anne Dear Kathy,

Our daughter was lost in the same way you've lost your husband. I'm so sorry you've had to endure this horrible way to lose a loved one. You are not going crazy. No-one should ever have to go through what you and I have been going through, and yet we do. We have no control over what life brings us and the only constant in our life is God. Know that He is watching over you and your family. Bless you. Virginia, I’m so glad you found this site. Our daughter was lost in the same way you’ve lost your husband.

My family and I have had a horrendous few months with the suicide of my husband and childrens father. I thought I was going crazy not even being able to do normal things let alone my uni studies. Now I know it will be ok. God has it in His sights. Thank you so much. Virginia (Australia) I have just found your site and want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your honesty and openess.

In the midst of the worst of it, I was so weary. I'd been continually putting my need for rest aside because I wanted to be well soon. One day as I tried to do a full day of housework I realized that I'd been pushing myself to do a hundred things other than what I was supposed to be concentrating on: getting well. That day I told my family, "I can't keep doing all these things. I need time to rest and recover (R & R). A soldier does not focus on one hundred details he focuses only on the battle at hand." I'm convinced that had I listened to my body when I first became ill, had I taken time to recover when I was at my sickest, I would have healed sooner. In the end, who is going to understand what this year has cost you? Who is going to look at you and count the things you did as good and proper? Take the time to do the inner healing you need to do just now and let the rest go. It's a wonderful opportunity to hear the Lord speak through your circumstances.
