Faith-centered coping with loss reminds us that grief and hope can exist together. In moments of heartbreak, faith offers comfort, strength, and the reassurance that healing is possible even through pain. Trusting God during loss can help bring peace, purpose, and renewed hope. ✨

1. Got dad’s gravesite memorial service scheduled for early September.

2. Working towards my two-month road trip back to Michigan in early May to start sorting through his/my brother’s place and property. This first trip will be called “The Long Goodbye”.

3. Planning alternate day trips and multi-day trips around the Midwest so if the sorting and organizing gets to be too much, I can drop everything and run off with my camera to take a break. Hoping to be able to visit all 5 of the Great Lakes during this time.

Bonus: For the return trip in September, I’ve started planning for a mini family reunion after the graveside service. This will be my “Closing the Circle” trip.

Grief doesn’t happen all at once. The Long Goodbye is the process of letting go over time. Closing the Circle is that final return—to finish, to honor, and to move forward.

Part of the filmstrip I run in my head when grief feels like too much.

This was taken in December 2021, overlooking Thunder Ridge from the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia. The clouds moving through the mountains and that quiet, watchful tree have stayed with me ever since. Some images don’t just live in an album — they become places the mind returns to for comfort.

Grief can feel like chains around your heart, but healing doesn’t mean forgetting.

Weather at Dad's place today (April 2) in Upper Michigan: mostly freezing rain and sleet right now, with another 5 inches of snow expected on top of it. This has truly been one of the harshest winters in decades. I spoke with someone up there who said the two back-to-back storms in mid-March alone dumped 54 inches (137 cm) of snow. 😬

Three good things:

1. Even with all this weather, the camera is still giving me a window into home.

2. I'm looking forward to making several side trips while I'm in the Midwest, visiting old familiar places and some new ones, too. All with my camera in hand. Hoping to offset the inevitable moments of grief and sadness as I sort through my dad and brother's belongings.

3. It's good to finally feel excited about getting out with my camera again.

Three good things:

1. Belatedly learned that I’d been consuming caffeine with my daily Dunkin Strawberry Dragonfruit Refreshers even tho I have them made with regular water. The caffeine is in the green tea extract of the syrup. This explains a LOT about how I’ve been feeling for the past 7 months. Since stopping caffeine, my anxiety level have come back to expected levels during my grieving period since I lost my dad and brother within the last six months.

2. Relocated my sewing machine to in front of a window that gets morning sun.

3. Made a decision to take a long road trip in May, taking my camera with me. Up until this point, I haven’t felt up to going out with the camera, but I am now looking forward to this road trip back to Michigan.

Three good things today:
The steady rhythm of Lake Superior waves at sunset — that familiar, grounding sound that hasn’t changed.
A memory from 2024 with Dad, staying at my grandparents’ cabin west of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, a place that was theirs until the 70s.
Realizing that even now, that shoreline still sounds like home to me.

Probably not the best time for me to be watching *The Pitt*. There’s a scene with a brother and sister in the ER with their dad, and a line about how they become the witnesses to each other’s lives — the ones who hold the shared memories.

That one hit hard.

One of the hardest things right now is realizing I don’t have that anymore. Even though my brother and I hadn’t spoken in years, he was still my brother. He was already gone when Dad died, so I stood there without that shared witness to our life.

Yeah… this one’s getting put on hold for now. Too much, too soon.

I'd love to hear some suggestions for TV shows or movies that I could watch instead. I have most of the major streaming services.
