    I love how you said Matt was to spend the rest of his life with you but you were not meant to spend the rest of your life with him. That touched me. I will be passing this on to my sister who lost her husband recently.. as this was a thought provoking, beautiful way of trying to wrap our heads around all of the questions. Praying for your family

      I agree! I lost my husband suddenly last year. It's very hard to lose your life partner and "other half" but I know he has endless love, joy and peace with Jesus and I will see him again. Heather's words made such sense to me too. ❤ So glad to see Heather is recovering well and so strong in her faith. The Lord comforts the broken hearted. Sending my love and condolences to your sister at this time. xx

    Heather, you were searching for a word in place of “disabilities.” Since my car accident, I call mine “limitations.” For me, limitations only imply that I am limited doing things in the same manner that I did before. I can do them now, just with workarounds, different tools, and/or little extra effort. I am so happy to see your consistent progress. Many blessings to you.

      You are right. That's what I call my situation as well. I'm 4 years in with my back injuries. I say I have limited mobility. There are days I'm ok to do everyday things we take for granted, and there are days, I can't even get out of bed or dress myself. We do need to adapt to our new way of having to do things, so "limited" is a more fitting word, at least to both you and myself. Praying for you for continued strength and healing.

    My husband passed when our kids were 7 and 10. Just a word of advice, keep up therapy for them even if they seem okay. Otherwise it all comes out as they reach teenage/young adult age. My youngest had terrible mental health issues starting at about 16. I believe it’s because that’s the age when he could finally process what happened to him. It was really a rough few years for him and for me, watching him go through such turmoil.

      My dad passed when I was 10 and it’s affected every romantic relationship I’ve had since. Therapy and counseling help, and so does having an incredibly supportive partner who has helped me see my relationship with my dad prior to his passing in a whole new light. His insight as a father himself has healed me in so many ways and his amazing love has as well. I wish I’d taken therapy more seriously as a child and teenager though. I wholeheartedly could have avoided hurting others because I was hurting. ❤️
