I no longer wanted to hear anything that reminded me of him. It hurt too much.

The older I get, the more wisdom I gain, and as my relationship with the Lord continues to evolve and grow, things just become much more simplified. I don’t worry about the things that I used to. Things that used to get me upset/worked up, things that used to hurt my feelings, etc. just don’t… Continue reading I Have Learned

Living for Two

December 29, 2018 Joni@GrieftoLife

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

Awhile back I had finally worked up the nerve to watch one of the sermons Jonathan preached. I knew shortly after turning it on that it was something I needed to hear. 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?
