"Grief is a journey–not an event. Grief comes in waves. Don't ignore them. No one has ever stopped one. They just keep coming. Work with the waves big and small as they come.

There is no way of knowing how big they will be or how often they will come. They will keep coming. Swim into them–not away from them. Learn to float through them." Pastor Dean Jackson Services for Joe Zeller, January 10, 2006
