Eye Candy Friday

December 20, 2019 By Carole

Hello, friends. I’m just checking in to tell you that we are okay. We are sad but coping. We are struggling but surrounded by love. And we definitely feel that love.  It is expressed in so many ways: whispered words of sorrow, strong hugs, cards in the mail, deliveries of flowers and food, messages here and on social media, phone calls and so much more. All of those things are keeping us going and it means so much to us.

Last Friday I hoped for a weekend of beauty and then our world turned upside down. I’m going to be brave and wish for a beautiful weekend again. Because, in the end, hope is what keeps us moving forward.

    No doubt your strong and loving family will hold each other close and make your way through this tough time together. xo

    Hope. It is what this season is about, really. May you find it in unexpected places as you move through this time of sadness.

    The beauty is in the loving family and friends who surround with care and support. I’m is quote but I hope it helps. “Grief is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All the unspent love gathers in the corners of you eyes, the lump in your throat and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.”

    A loss is never easy, but is particularly tough at the holidays. Thinking of you.

    Indeed it does, and I love that your peace symbol is easily seen in the photos. One day at a time, one step at a time, no more no less is required.

    As Emily Dickinson , more or less ‘Hope is a feathered thing’.

  10. Karen Woodhall says

    December 20, 2019 at 4:22 pm

    Correction! Hope is the thing with feathers.
    I feel hope it’s a gift, especially during times of anguish.

    Yes Carole – dare to be brave.

    Without hope you have nothing…you are moving in the right direction my friend. Hang in there, these days are the hardest, but with love, hope and eventually Spring, it will get easier. Love you!

  13. Donna Eaton says

    It will take much love, patience(the unanswered questions), and time… lots of time… please Carole, hug And kiss Dale for me… He is such a great guy… I love you both…

    You sound like you all are doing remarkably well, Carole. All you can do is put one foot in front of the other and hold fast to those you love. I’m glad you are able to hold your arms open and feel the love and support. Thanks for letting us know you are doing so well in spite of overwhelming sorrow. I hope you are finding little moments of grace.

  15. Melissa says

    Sending you love and a hope for peace.

  16. Sarah says

    December 21, 2019 at 8:30 am

    That you still have hope says a lot. Let all that love continue to hold you up.

    I have learned the truth of that last sentence many times over this year. Sending wishes for peace and hugs, Mary

    Hope and love are what the season is all about. I hope your weekend was full of both.
