Life has invited us on an ever-changing journey. Have you experienced the loss of a loved one? Has the shock and intensity of grief overshadowed your faith? Crossing the Bridge to Hope and Heaven is one person's story about navigating through a season of grief and sorrow. Chapters reveal the authors "mile markers" that advance her from the initial impact to a destination beyond grief. You are invited to reflect and write your own story. Journal pages will offer you the opportunity to set your personal mile markers, defining where you are at a given time and chart your course to your destination. There are testimonies in Scripture that offer us hope as we reflect on the outcomes of David, the Woman of Nain, Job, Naomi, and others and of their encounter with loss. Their life experiences can give us guidance and hope. May you find divine peace and comfort as you move from a season of sorrow and enter a new season of abundant life. Join the journey, Crossing the Bridge to Hope and Heaven. My son's last text, "Just was calling to say Goodnight, Love...." My response, "Going to bed. Have a blessed and restful night, Love mom."
