Do you really want to know?

I can hardly take a full breathe right now. Driving home from a really nice dinner with friends, I was ambushed. Laurie's tape was playing; I was worried about Greg and family, Pete was out with good friends after work..

The sobbing started one block from the restaurant I was at and then all the way home...Will I ever breathe right again? Will I ever not miss her? I don't think so...Will this ever get easier? I hope so...

I had intended to blog about the Overnight...maybe tomorrow.

Yes, I REALLY want to know. Sweet Barb. I am so sorry and yes I hope so too. Someone so comfortingly told me the second year is harder...hmmm...not too comforting. I love you and if I did not think you were I asleep I would call.

Barb,
I can't fathom your pain but know that just reading your words causes me such anguish. Prayers are going out for you ....

I’m so sorry for the pain you are feeling. From my experience: yes – you will breathe right again, no – you will always miss her, yes – it will become easier. The grace that is so difficult to see when one feels so much pain and loss is the profoundness of the gift. In other words, what was given through Laurie was so great and so beautiful – it makes your loss more profound. It is a blessing to have known the love. There are people in this world that have never been given the opportunity to know the love and beauty of having Laurie for their daughter. That does not diminish your suffering – rather it is a tribute to you and Laurie and the love you shared. Lifting you up in prayer today.

Oh, Barb, I am so sorry. I pray that this will get easier. I am praying for you and I do really want to know.
You are being lifted up by many people, my friend.
Love in Christ,

Dearest Barb: When I fall into the depths of despair, and I can't even pray,when I can't find a reason to go on, this phrase well's up in my heart."Jesus I Trust in You."I'm so sorry for your pain. My prayers are with you and your family always. Love you, GMP
