I enjoyed this interview and found it helpful particularly in light of the fact that Lanier’s sister-in-law lost her husband of 63 years last week. Thanks! 😘
Kathy – I am so sorry to hear of his passing. Thank you for letting me know this episode was helpful. I’m praying for all of you.
Julie, it’s taken me a while to get back to your visit with your friend (part 2) about grief. It’s interesting how you just connect with things shared about grief when you’ve gone through this journey. So much wisdom especially in the last things that were said. When your friend said to say to someone, “Be gentle with yourself,” that is so true because that person needs to hear words like this. My words to so many have been, “Be kind to yourself.” Those grieving hard need to hear these words. The other words were helpful to me–“Don’t give up” when waiting for a friend to be ready to receive what you have to give and share because you have walked this way. I’m waiting for someone right now…Thank you, sweet friend!
Oh, thank you so much, my friend! I appreciate your listening and feedback. Your willingness to share your story with others and be there in a unique way for them as they travel through their own grief is an amazing thing to see. I love you and cherish your friendship. You are a beacon of light for Him.
