If you've read "The Shack", you get the above title. If you haven't .... you probably get the general idea.
Grieving is like being lost in a thick, black fog. There's no light, until .... there is. You just walk forward, you think, hands outstretched so that you don't bump into anything. Sometimes you will hit a patch of thinner, grey fog ..... and you can see further ahead. And just when you get all excited about being able to see and hopefully getting out of it, the blackness settles back in.
It's very, very foggy this month.

That book WOWed me for sure. And I have not lost someone that important to me. I don't understand where you are Janine, I just know I want to wrap you in a huge cloak of peace (you choose the color). I know it will be visible in the fog.
Good evening my darling daughter. I love that picture. I've not seen that one before. You were both such babies.
I love you so and I'm praying for you daily. I want so badly for you to gain peace on this terrible journey you are on. I so wish I had the power to provide that peace for you. Unfortunately that's not something that is mine to give. So we'll wait with you and pray with you as the peace we wish for you finally finds you. I know it will happen. I HAVE to believe that it will. I love you.
Dear J,
I like that picture too. I love you and Jim. Loved that dress! Wasn't the fabric a couple different checks? I can even muster some affection for Old Blue back there. Poor thing. I still remember the sound it made when I'd grind it's gears. I also remember how exciting it was when you and Jim came back for a visit. Those were good days.
Love you and keeping you in my prayers,
A
The fog will lift and you will see more light and your days will be brighter, meantime you are surrounded by family and friends who are lifting you up. Walk on, holding your hands out, He will meet you and lead you, one step at a time. He is there holding your hand whether you can feel Him or not. Trusting in Him to be there for you.
Just finished the book this week. Prayers to your entire family. Hoping to make it next Friday.

My copy of The Shack just arrived from Amazon. I'm definitely intrigued and looking forward to reading it.
I love the imagery of being wrapped in a colored cloak of peace in the midst of darkness and sadness.
J - we're all praying for you and the kids through this difficult time. Hang in there - I believe you are tougher than all this.
