Tears fell as I read his words and understood the emotional and mental altering of the world he must be experiencing. In response, I wrote the short piece below.
For those who are adjusting to the world without the place you've always known was home...at least to your heart...my heart goes out to you, and I pray God grants you comfort and peace as you find your way through.
God be with you,
Jerri
It
is a different place to be when both your parents are gone. I don't care how
old you are. Having a parent is like having a pier you can always find your way
back to and a place to tie up your life. It is a settling thing. In your mind
you know there is something you are attached to and part of and there is a
heart and mind security in that. When both parents are gone, there is a
different sense of responsibility, a feeling like your mooring has been cut and
you have to find a new way to anchor yourself. It isn't a bad place because it
is part of how God set the world to work, but it is a hard place, nonetheless.
And God in heaven it is a place with an ache like none other the heart has ever known.
