“Through a Glass Dimly”

I've been reflecting on the early stages of my grief journey. One of the hardest parts for me was constantly asking, "Why?" I remember a particularly difficult day at Peet’s. It was the beginning of winter, and the warmth inside fogged up the windows. As I sat with my oatmeal and coffee, my mind was filled with questions I couldn't answer. Looking out at the foggy glass, I felt just as clouded inside—searching for clarity I couldn't find.

In that moment, a verse came to mind: "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." (1 Corinthians 13:12) What struck me was that even in the middle of all my questioning, God saw me. That verse—part of the chapter on Love—felt like a hug I didn’t know I needed. I realized that grief can make what once seemed clear feel blurred and uncertain. And while the original context of the verse might be different, it spoke directly to what I was feeling.

Grief is such a personal experience. I know how isolating and confusing it can be—because I've experienced it firsthand. I still feel those emotions sometimes. But I began to feel more whole when I found people who truly listened, and who allowed me to express my emotions without judgment. That kind of support has made a profound difference in my relationships and overall well-being.

As a certified Grief Recovery Specialist, I now walk alongside others who are facing loss. I’m here to listen, to support, and to help you find your way—just as others once helped me.

I can say with absolute clarity that this program has changed me.
