There are some callings that never make sense on paper. They don’t scale neatly, they don’t promise certainty and they rarely reward you on the timeline you expect. But grief work sits in that category of work that exists because someone has to carry the light when others can’t. That kind of persistence isn’t stupidity, it’s devotion. And the world would be emptier without people who keep showing up anyway.

What a beautiful and insightful comment Christopher. Thank you 🙏
I feel this so deep. This whole experience of grief and God move outside of logic, and outside the bounds of comfort and control.
