To know you is to love you and I’m sure you get that from your mama. I really felt the part where you said not to compare your grief. I feel like I so often do this. Know there are people thinking about you and praying for you.

Oh my heart aches for you in this season of grief. May you feel peace and comfort throughout the process. What a precious gift her Bible is too! My dad always wrote in his Bible and jotted down notes. It let me know it's okay to do that too.

Hugs from Kentucky 💜💜

I read this a few days ago, but just listened to you read your essay today. It is so beautiful, and so important, such a gift, that we share our truths in this way.
