November 1: “Give Sorrow Words” Rev. KC Marie Pandell

The thing about grief is that it is unavoidable. Everyone grieves something, multiple times in their lives: no one is immune. But that doesn’t mean it should dictate our lives, quite the contrary: it can guide us, if only we know what to do with it.
