Grief does not arrive politely. It breaks in. It rearranges everything. And for mothers and daughters, it often fractures the very relationship that once felt safest.

Not through quick fixes or spiritual platitudes, but through shared lament, holy presence, and resurrection hope shaped by the life of Jesus.

For the majority of my fifty-seven years following Jesus, I have recorded my discoveries in a private spiritual journal. Over time, it grew into several notebooks that were eventually transferred to my computer. They contained various thoughts and insights that seemed important to my spiritual development. Some were pivotal, others less so, but I recorded them all, not knowing how God would use them in my life. All of the notes I recorded were meant for personal use, and as my way of showing God that I was paying attention.
