I woke up feeling okay. After wrapping my mind around what day it was (the usual wake up and figure out what's on my plate for the day)...

I've been reading through the blog we kept when G was waiting for his transplant. It is surreal. Sept. 30, 2010 I wrote all about his...

There is a temptation in grief to romanticize the past. To divide your life into the categories of good (when your person was still...

Today would be 15 years of marriage. 15 years since we said I do. I've had this song in my head by Andrew Peterson since I woke up this...

It's time to tell our story. When we began our heart transplant journey in January of 2010, we felt so alone. Being listed for a heart...

Why is a big question. And it's one I don't like to ask. Because there aren't any answers on this side of Heaven. Why did G die? Why...

I'm sitting at Panera this morning and there's a couple outside the window. Neither are wearing wedding rings. Both are probably in...

Here we are again. It's Valentine's Day. Last year it was on a Sunday. I doubt we watched the service online that week. Some days it...

A picture brought back a flood of memories. Christmas morning 2018. P opening a gift. G sitting up beside him - but slumped over...

I realized today that I still have to live one day at a time. That God's will unfolds one day at a time. His leading happens one day at...

Over the past couple months - maybe longer - I've become a bit obsessed with Jim and Elisabeth Elliot. I've known of them and their...

I have felt so lost this year. I don't want to glamorize or simplify what life was like when G was alive, because the truth is that life...

My counselor told me about a saying her daughter uses: "Follow the breadcrumbs". The breadcrumbs that are the slow unveiling of your life...

A year ago today - actually 35 minutes from now- we buried G. I looked through pictures of that day yesterday because I honestly don't...

Here I am, two days into a conference I've been to 12 times with G. And I miss.. J. There've been moments of missing G for sure. I feel...

I made it to the other side of yesterday. By God's grace alone I lived through another day that I never would've thought was possible...

One year ago, I woke up a little early, surprised to find G standing by the bed and a light on. He was restless and told me he'd been...

Otherwise known at 364 days after G died. His favorite way to refer to someone who loved Jesus dying and going to be with him was...

One year ago, I could never have imagined what this next week would bring. One year ago was a normal Saturday. Sure, one affected by G...

I did it last night. During my GriefShare group we watched a video about Heaven. In the video, they discussed that it's important to be...
