Little Steps of Healing -- Day 2




Grief and sadness 
knit two hearts 
in closer bonds 
than happiness ever can; 
and common sufferings 
are far stronger 
than common joys.

~ Alphonse de Lamartine

Little Ways of Grief -- Day 2







Grief can’t be shared. 
Everyone carries it along, 
his own burden, 
his own way.

Little Steps of Healing -- Day 1


My flesh 
and my heart 
may fail,
but
GOD IS
the strength of my heart
and my portion 
forever.


~Psalm 73:26

Little Ways of Grief -- Day 1

“It’s so curious…. 
One can resist tears and ‘behave’ very well 
in the hardest hours of grief. 
But then someone makes you a friendly sign
 behind a window, 
or one notices that a flower 
that was in bud only yesterday
 has suddenly blossomed, 
or a letter slips from a drawer . . . 
and  everything 
collapses.”  
~ Colette 
(Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, 1873-1954)
