Perfection or peace?

My heart continues to look for you. It doesn’t understand the physical separation and wasn’t ready for you to go. My soul knows that you are at peace and assures me that we will meet again. As difficult as it is to accept, I won’t see you again this side of heaven. I will try… Continue reading Living for Two

Letter From Heaven

May 18, 2018 Joni@GrieftoLife

You know I wouldn't want you to cry, that I always hated to see you sad. I want you to think of me and smile, to cherish what we had. I know it's been hard, almost too much to bear. But if you would look with your heart and not your eyes, you would see… Continue reading Letter From Heaven

Power in Being Real

April 27, 2018 Joni@GrieftoLife

My counselor once said that God knew back then what messages to speak through Jonathan, what people needed to hear. This one was… Continue reading Power in Being Real

The Pieces Don’t Fit Anymore

February 16, 2018 Joni@GrieftoLife

When you don't fit where you used to, you grieve that like any other loss. But, if you don't fit anymore, you don't. Move forward. We aren't supposed to have to fight for a place in people's lives. I was talking to one of my long time friends today and we were talking about regret… Continue reading The Pieces Don’t Fit Anymore

Is There Really a Choice?

February 9, 2018 Joni@GrieftoLife

I'll be honest, there have been several times where I truly wanted to throat punch someone who said to me that happiness is a choice. I often thought to myself, "how in the world is it as easy as saying that I choose to be happy when I feel so bad?" I have even told… Continue reading Is There Really a Choice?

Be Still

February 4, 2018 Joni@GrieftoLife

I've been pretty quiet lately. There is a lot going on in my life; a lot of changes. In the midst of the chaos I am finding myself and allowing my faith to be reconstructed. It was necessary to step away from things as I knew them, especially spiritually. From a distance I was able… Continue reading Be Still
