Grief is learning to dance with the limp

 

“Grief is just love with no place to go.” Jamie Anderson*

 

"You will lose someone you can't live

without, and your heart will be badly broken,

and the bad news is that you never completely

get over the loss of your beloved. But this ...

is also the good news. They live forever in

your broken heart that doesn't seal back up.

And you come through. It's like having a broken

leg that never heals perfectly--that still

hurts when the weather gets cold, but you

learn to dance with the limp."

― Anne Lamott

 

Learn to "dance with the limp."

I love that line but I know it's easier said than done and on Saturdays we pray strongly for those who grieve. Sometimes we grieve those we lost and sometimes we grieve those still among us that seem lost to us. Put your "little faith" together with mine and we will get through it, even if.
