Changes in my life…
Unexpectedly, my husband died of a heart attack at work in 1996. The first few weeks after he was gone, I would ponder looking around remembering my husband is gone, over and over again. There were brief moments when I woke up and forgot he had left. Those moments eventually faded and I had to learn to be present with myself. I came to realize that lives are filled with lessons, hardships, heartaches, joys, celebrations, and special moments that lead to some sort of destination, a purpose in life. My journey was not always smooth, it was full of challenges; Some of these challenges were tests of courage, strengths, weaknesses, and what we believe is important in life.
