A few weeks after losing Barry, I came across Molly Piper's blog. She has an amazing story. She also has amazing resources for helping a grieving friend. Molly wrote 11 articles on what those who are grieving experience and how to help them. As I read these articles, I found myself over and over again saying, "Yup. That's me. That's exactly how I feel. That's exactly what I need."
Take the time to read her words. You never know when God will give you an opportunity to minister to the hurting world around you.

I have been blessed to walk this road of grief with some amazing friends. To those of you who have brought me meals, cleaned my house, mowed my lawn, helped me with home maintenance and watched my kids as I've gone ot counseling - THANK YOU! I would be an absolute mess without you. You have brought much glory to the Father through your service.
"Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’" Matthew 25:37-39
