Each day I pray for peace that transcends understanding. I’m always amazed that I receive this peace and I accept it with great gratitude!

I wear a bracelet with the serenity prayer. When I look down and see it, I find a degree of comfort and peace.

Throughout the past almost 15 months, I have embraced my grief. I believe in doing this, my heart and souls heals a bit each day. Some days are harder than others but I know that is part of the grief journey. I am grateful that early on, I learned that grief is not my enemy. It is a part of the love that I feel for Richard! If you love someone and they die, you will grieve. Tom Zuba says we can choose peace over pain. As I grieve, I choose peace whenever possible.
