We just finished the season of Christmas, and I’ve decided to close this blog series a little early. I leave you with this—grief really does become easier over time. I’m working on my fourth year without my husband and for the most part, I’m doing well emotionally.
The last few years, I’ve suffered deep depression from Thanksgiving to Easter. This year, I’ve made it through Christmas and I am content. Happy even. There are still moments of grieving but praise God, they pass quicker now than before.
I’m sure it was the same for Naomi. She no doubt still missed her husband and sons and at times still grieved their passing, but with time, she was able to acknowledge God’s blessings and feel joyful again.
If you have experienced loss like this, I pray for your healing. I pray you can see and acknowledge His blessing in your life again too.
