I wonder around the house today as I think of the beautiful person lost to heaven today. A co-worker and friend lost his spouse early this morning.
The two of them had amazing grace as they journeyed this path of cancer together with hope and peace for a little over a year.
As a Family and Consumer Sciences teacher we face subjects that many do not like to approach and one of the them is family loss. For me, I feel it is important for children to know that speaking about ones personal loss and the struggle that goes with it is always o.k.
Every family must cope and deal with their losses their own way but we should try to be a part of the strength for those left behind when they tumble.
Grief has stages and steps much like all other components of life. It just so happens grief is difficult to comprehend when we lose someone that we were not ready to let go of. Even though I know my friends wife is at peace and guiding her loved ones from above, the loss is heart wrenching.
It is inspiring to watch this young family continue to move forward and accept the end for their bright, young beautiful mother and wife.
With love from you FACS teacher,
Jane
