Sunday Inspiration: Grief

“Grief is like the wake behind a boat.
It starts out as a huge wave that follows close behind you
and is big enough to swamp and drown you
if you suddenly stop moving forward.
But if you do keep moving,
the big wake will eventually dissipate.
And after a long time,
the waters of your life get calm again,
and that is when the memories of those
who have left begin to shine as bright and as
enduring as the stars above.
– Jimmy Buffett

    Sometimes it is easier than others to see those calming waters. Everyone, in their own time!
