Celebrate the joy

The angels in heaven are watching over us.

This time of year isn’t merry for all.

Especially for those who have suffered a loss.

The loss that sometimes seems unreal and fresh every day. No matter have long it’s been.

The grief that shows up without an invitation. Yup, shows up, takes a seat and is part of the conversation no matter how much you try to ignore it. Who invited you? Your inner voice says. No answer. It’s still there.

It’s ok.

Stay, you are welcome. You are welcome to stay because you are reminding us that the angels in heaven are watching over us. They are in our hearts, we can’t see or speak to them any longer, however, they are in us. We keep them alive by remembering. Remembering their love, their voice, what they meant to us. Not only do we remember, we need to celebrate the joy their brought us. The joy we experienced when they were here with us. The joy of their familiar sayings, the joy of their presence. The joy that we must be thankful for experiencing because it happened. We experienced it.

So grief. Stay and celebrate.

It’s ok.

Until the next,
