Tread uncharted waters.
We can't imagine ahead of time how
Agonizing it can be.
But we just keep pressing on,
Learning as we go,
Doing the best we can to pour out every
Ounce of love on our dearest one to
His very last breath.
And then, when he's gone, the long
Grief journey begins.
And the sorrow takes a toll.
It's only looking back that we see
God was giving us the strength to do
What we never thought we could.
My friend's trek began this morning.
I weep with her.
