Overwhelmed by life.

This week was one heck of a week. On Tuesday Oct 7th was the one year anniversary of my grandmas death. I now work where she was before she died and was concerned about working that day. Earlier in the day I had, had a brief conversation with one of my pastors and knew I was going into work covered with prayer. I really didn't have a hard time until one of my residents begin the journey of death. But while that too was sad I was able to provide care for my resident and her family knowing what made me comforted and helped as I sat with Grandma as she died. Shortly before picking up my check this afternoon she passed and the family all thanked me for my tears as it made them feel comforted. Looking back over the last few days while I was grieving God used my grief to help another family. I started thinking of maybe possibly doing some hospice nursing. Tonight I also need to be reminded that my reaction to other things this week also comes out of my grief and can make some of the small things seem big and some of the big Things seem overwhelmingly HUGE.

Love you always and forever grandma miss you tons"WHEN WE ALL GET TO HEAVEN WHAT A DAY OF REJOCING THAT WILL BE."
