Use the weekend to remind yourself to cut some time in your day to "Come apart before you come apart."
Rest.
Yes, rest. Whether it's a tickle-laugh-and-roll-around-on-the-floor time with your little kids, a moment of crying on your knees before the Lord,
licking an ice cream cone, picking strawberries, or writing out your grocery list . . . live in the moment and catch every drop of God's goodness and rest from your burdens.

You're Invited . . .
Take hope, my friend, join in and watch the darkness turn to light and gather strength for your journey. You'll see the ways others have struggled, survived and thrived. You'll discover key Scriptures and insights from God's Word that will feed your soul and give you hope. Click on the Memorial Wall tab above, pray for these women and add your own listing. This blog is about you and God's work in the hearts of widows!
As we grieve, life continues on around us; we need to make adjustments and function inspite of our struggles. So this blog not only addresses grief and gives you role models, it also looks at the single-living skills, spiritual disciplines, laughter, rest and the renewing worship you'll need to juggle.
Some articles are food for thought, some are quick and helpful tips, and every once in a while we'll get just plain silly because laughter is still good medicine.
There's a new life waiting to meet you, and a new hope waiting to bloom in your heart. But don't worry about that for now. God knows you want your old life back. He understands. So for now, just visit, rest, relax and renew for the journey ahead.
