Hard Things

On October 18, 2014 I watched my best friend die in a motorcycle accident as we were heading to Canmore on the 1A highway just past the Ghost Lake Reservoir.

This life altering event has rocked my world, my relationships and my faith. Some days I feel like I am still reeling from the after effects and other days I feel like I am healing and moving on. Sometimes it feels like it happened so long ago and other days the memories are as fresh as if it happened today.

A wise friend told me recently that there are no rules for grieving ..I find this to be absolutely true; which makes it very difficult to categorize and sort through in my head.

There are still so many unanswered questions that will remain unanswered, I'm sure. And still many sleepless nights.

As we approach Christmas I am constantly reminded of her family who will have to endure the traditions, parties, and celebrations without their wife, mother, daughter, sister. And friend. And I pray for them every day.

These are times of deep sorrow but also times of intense growing and above all I am truly thankful for my relationship with my Saviour who is Sovereign and cares for me deeply.
