Posted to Facebook on Oct 5, 2024.  

“Six months ago, today, James transitioned to Heaven. It took me 5-1/2 months to find my way out of ever-increasing heart pain. I labeled it "Love in Agony".

As I was facing this horrible, home-sick, wrenching, ache in my heart, I remembered what James tried to teach me, and lead me into over our course of 29+ years. Speaking from his own experience, the only release he found was to "press in" to the Love and Healing presence of Jesus.

It takes desperation. It requires privacy, prayer, tears, crying out, with a singular focus on God's love for the broken, and His Word.

It's easy to talk about it, but no one can feel that blessed release and New Love until they make the effort, and I poured myself into it. I continue daily. Now, the pain is replaced with peace and new understanding of many things, growing every day. And I don't feel like an Island, Alone. It's miraculous.

It feels so GOOD to have joy again!
