Dear St. John's Community,
My calendar continues to give me notifications for things that are not happening. It's like a ghost calendar, a remnant of what was real and is no more.
Ghost calendar notifications or not, we are all faced with constant reminders of what we've lost.
It's helpful to remember that one of the reasons everything is a little harder for everybody right now is that we're all experiencing at least some significant grief right now. This being the case, it is also helpful to remember that the nature of grief is to bring up all of those other things that you have previously grieved. Don't be surprised if you find this happening. You are not alone. Be gentle with yourself, and with others who may be going through something similar.
As with normal grief, there will be better days and worse days—better hours and worse hours even. Take those better moments as a blessing to sustain you through the harder moments. And know that God is with us at all moments.
God's peace,
Rob+
