Grieving On . . . 

Grief doesn't end but rather continues as part of our story

That Didn't Go So Well . . .

10/11/2019

It was nice to wake up this morning a little more rested in my own bed. I even thought, "Hey, this is going pretty well," for about the first two hours. Then I bravely decided I should go get coffee from our favorite, local coffee shop. I was sure I could handle this simple task. 

But upon seeing the friendly faces of the baristas who knew Josh, my eyes to teared up. Another hello from an acquaintance and I was ready to leave. And didn't want to answer, "How are you doing?" anymore. I walked out quickly, threw on my sunglasses and kind of melted down in my car with at least a fresh mocha in my hand for comfort. 

It may sound like I handled that exchange okay, but I'd say ... "That didn't go so well." I of course, thought it could be tough but it turns out it was more than I expected. I know eventually I'll be able to enter the coffee shop without tears but for this wasn't the day for it.

After that uncomfortable adventure, I decided to completely rearrange the living room furniture, a fresh perspective for a new season. Rearranging doesn't solve the big problem but it is nice still. 

God's peace continues to be with me and I know the prayers of so many are making a difference.

Thanks for following along.

    Hi! It's Jenn Brown, writing my story that is now slightly different as we enter a season of new grief. On September 30, 2019, my dear husband Josh passed away after battling brain cancer. 

    Life for me weirdly continues on and I'm continuing to share my heart and journey here in this space as a way to process and hopefully encourage others in their grief journey also. It's not easy for any of us.
