Sandia Peak Sunset



Those who were with me and I had a lovely time going on the tram to have a meal at sunset in the restaurant on Sandia Peak. The pictures I am sharing are for no purpose except your enjoyment. It's a pretty world.

The Potter and the Clay, Jeremiah's Message

When I get to heaven, I hope to sit down and have a conversation with Jeremiah. I want him to tell me about the way he was tortured but continued to exalt the Lord God Almighty.

After he died, I became angry.

My husband was paralyzed five years. I spent those years trying to help him overcome his illness. After the constant challenge of spending every moment of my life helping him move and think . . . after being with him all the time, he died and left me alone. I didn't like being lonely. Who does? Suddenly when I realized he was gone, I was forced to think about something besides what I needed to be doing for my husband.

After he died, I became angry. Why had he not tried harder to get well? Why had he been so inconsiderate to die and leave me to reorganize? Now when I look back on those feelings, I realize how irrational my thought processes were, but they were my thoughts.

The grief was worse at the end of the day. A friend who had lost his wife told me that he learned the value of a long walk at sunset. I started ending my days with a long walk or bicycle ride. Sometimes I prayed, and sometimes I talked with friends and family on my cell phone.

Sundays were the hardest . . . .

“I'm Choking . . .But Life Moves On Along the Path of Grief” is an e-book devoted to discussing the journey all of us take when we work through grief. This Kindle book is available at Amazon.com. It is possible to download software that will allow Kindle books to be read on the computer screen.

I'm Choking . . . But Life Moves On Along the Path of Grief (Insights about Grieving)

My friends, I'm sharing a Kindle e-book about grieving. Mother's Day is perhaps the saddest day of the year for many of us. What I'm saying here is not to be taken as medical or psychological advice. If you need professional help, don't hesitate to get it. This book is simply a discussion of how it feels to grieve.

Believe me, I know. Like the rest of you, the longer I live the more I have to grieve about . . . and to be thankful for.

"I'm choking."

What does that mean? It could mean you've cried so hard that it's impossible to swallow. There's a choking feeling in your throat and chest. You know the feeling. If you have a choking sensation, it may be time to call 9-1-1 to make sure you are not having a heart attack. It is no coincidence that we have expressions such as "died of a broken heart" and "heartbroken." Sometimes these expressions are literal, not figurative.

"But life moves on along the path of grief."

It's a road we all travel. Although your grief is unique, there are certain aspects of every human being's grief that are alike.

I pray this book will warm your heart with its stories about some of the ways others have coped with the problem.
