I feel my thoughts and ideas really aren't entirely my own. Ideas that benefit others are the way you and God guide me. I guess life is a big give and take. We help each other grow spiritually. I think so.
Life is, indeed, ever changing.
I find that adjusting to this stage of my life is less painful if I let go of the desire to control. I think this is a big issue in grieving. It seems to me that the so-called anger stage of grief comes when people are angry because of their lack of control. Consciously, time of death is one thing in which we have no say. Who comes and goes is not in our hands.
