Out of My Own Heart of Darkness
My mother passed from this earth a year ago tomorrow. As many of you may have noticed, I took an almost year-long sabbatical from blogging. By Mother's Day last year, it became clear to me that I just couldn't go on blogging about the ins and outs of my days without feeling like it was all too trivial compared to the pervasive grief I was feeling. I had to give myself some time to heal. So, I did.
Today I am asking for your prayers over the next few days. I am feeling pretty well overall, but I know that tomorrow might weigh heavily on me. And, while my mother passed away on January twenty-ninth, she was buried on February second. Her birthday.
My husband is also going to be out of state for a business conference this week. As you can see, I do, indeed, need your prayers. I thank all of you for your prayers and notes of encouragement over the year. They have held me in good stead.
Having said all this, though, I want to let you know that I am now eager to get back to blogging and I have been tinkering with my blog a bit in preparation for my return. And I do so love to tinker! I look forward to catching up with all of you. God bless you, my dear friends.
