Blessed are those who mourn – they will be comforted. Matthew 5:4
I am grateful for the wonderful comfort that I have felt in the time since my husband moved to Heaven. It was a shock that I thought I would not be able to survive. Yet, with God’s comfort, I am thriving and enjoying life again. The benefit of mourning well is that joy does indeed come in the morning. Take your time to mourn at your own pace, yet focus on the comfort you receive from as many sources as possible.
