Living with Bob and "Al"

Sheri has seen a bit of a pattern in herself. She seems to have a cycle of  profound sadness that comes and goes. It has been a year now since she lost her home and moved to this tiny house, with her "not her garden, garden". In some ways it is easier for Sheri to to let go of things now, which she thinks is probably a good thing. But her heart still hurts for all the past losses, including the loss of Bob. Everywhere she looks she sees losses. People at church suffering loss, the world and it's pain and suffering. Her father struggling to care for her paralyzed mother ( from a ridiculous, car accident) She sees such strength in him, strength she is sure he did not even realize he had. She sees such strength in her mother dealing with her own issues about her condition. Sheri is beginning to wonder if loss, plus sadness equal strength. Sheri does not want to live the rest of her life "goin' through the motions." She saw somewhere recently a phrase that said "Don't look back, you are not headed that direction." Simple but very profound.

My soul melts from heaviness;Strengthen me according to Your word.
