Grieving and life changes

I had another email this week from the church. There are two priests who will help us out at this time of transition.

A priest in charge will take services and provide pastoral care.

A specialist in interim ministry will be at a meeting on Saturday. I will be there along with my two Altar Guild colleagues.

My dear friend in Edmonton who lost his wife to cancer last year at Easter sent me an article on grieving.

I have a good friend who is going through a major transition herself. She is ready to be ordained but will not know for a bit whether that will happen. She knows Dana so I shared the news about her departure with her.

She phoned me back shortly after to say that her elderly cat had died.

I was realizing that it is 10 years ago almost that my mom got sick and went into the hospital. That was the start of the end of her life. Where did the 10 years go to?
