The List of 'Firsts'

Isaiah 40:31 KJV

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up on wings as eagles; they shall run and not faint.

Hello again and welcome to One Breath From Heaven.

It wasn't long into the journey of being a grieving parent that I began to recognize not only was I in the minority, but life and how we live it began to look different too.

Most of us think that grief is expressed by crying and if you cry enough, eventually it will  all go away. Not always.

Even doing the most mundane things such as making the bed, washing the dishes, or cleaning house or anything else for that matter have one thread in common.

After a loss, everything we do is a first; from the first breath on, almost as if having to learn all over again. It feels awkward, unfamiliar, and at times, impossible, doesn't it?

I wish I could tell you the number of times God lifted up through those moments.  Where would we be without Him?

You are in my prayers. Till next time,

Blessings, 

Mary Netreba
