Rev. Day's Enews message this week:

We continue to hear during our weekly "Joys and Concerns" that members and friends are grieving the loss of loved ones. Our hearts go out to one and all during these journeys of mourning.

Recently Marsha Slayton gave me a small book entitled "Healing After Loss: daily meditations for working through grief" by Martha W. Hickman.

Here is one meditation from this book that stood out to me:

"When we are suffering intense grief, it is almost hard to remember what it felt like to be happy. Particularly when loss comes suddenly, it is as though we have been shunted into a different world where nothing has the same meaning it had before. In fact, we are startled, offended almost, that people seem to be conducting business as usual.
I recall going to the dentist soon after my daughter's death and hearing almost with incredulity the banal chitchat of people in the waiting room. How could they? Didn't they know?
Of course, we will not always be at this point of Altered Reality. We will, in time, incorporate our loss into our lives so that it is part of the daily background of living. Though it is sad, it doesn't shock and startle us with each new day.
And maybe our initial inability to remember how it felt to be happy was for the good after all-the contrast would have been too painful. Besides, we needed to give our attention to what was going on where we were."

I look forward to seeing you Sunday either in person or virtually.
