Grief and Loss Over the Holidays

 

Catherine Pooler shared the sad news that her brother, Scott, lost his battle with colon cancer earlier this month, just days before his 49th birthday. So sad.

It's been three years this month since my sister, Tina, died from cancer, and I still feel the loss keenly.

I wanted to send Catherine a card using CP products, so this is what I came up with yesterday.

I think I'm having a delayed response to my mother-in-law's passing this week. Now that the busyness of the memorial planning is over, I have time to ponder the loss. I'm really missing her now, especially as the holidays are approaching. The gray November skies aren't helping, either. My husband and I  have a lot of conversations about the ticking of the clock a lot lately. Time is so fleeting, and we are numbering our days, as Psalm 90 reminds us.
