THE JOURNEY OF A GRIEVING HEART | Offering Comfort & Understanding
As most of you know, we've been on an incredible journey for the last three years ... a grief journey.
Our lives changed forever after Dustin's death. We embarked on a journey we never intended or desired to be on. Our journey has often been a difficult one but it has also been filled with amazing blessings along the way. God’s comfort has come in many shapes and sizes; in ways that we would never have imagined … and we've been strengthened.
My photography has been part of my journey ... a passion that I believe was God-given and God-driven. It's been a wonderful blessing to offer others what has become so important to me ... memories ... frozen in time and I pray that it's been a blessing for those I've shared it with, as well.
Another part of my journey has also been a compelling desire to help my fellow grievers ... and to help others understand the heart and mind of those who are grieving. This has come about in a website that I, along with my family, have just launched ... we call it The Journey of a Grieving Heart. This site is not about our grief … it is about sharing the journey of grief.
It is intended to be a safe place where those who are grieving can share their hearts and hurts as they struggle through their dark places; a place to voice their deepest needs in the midst of their pain … and a place to share their insights, their victories and their blessings.
This site is also intended for those who may not have experienced a deep loss of their own but are striving to minister to those who are. I pray that what is shared there will give insight and understanding as they walk beside them on their grief journey.
I pray that you will take a look at the new website and become encouraged there. I also ask that you help us get the word out by forwarding the link to all you know who are struggling with grief ... and to those who are not. We all need more understanding of how we can help the hurting heart of a friend. It is our greatest desire, that this will be a wonderful place to gain that understanding.
Join us at The Journey of a Grieving Heart ... and be sure to leave comments while you are there.
Blessings to you all!
