This particular sign is heartbreaking.
It’s located at the site of a car accident where a dear friend of ours, Eileen Klein, was tragically killed. Eileen was only 26 years old.
My heart goes out to her family–especially during the holidays.
I can’t decide if this sign (which was up long before the accident) is a fitting memorial or a cruel reminder. What do you think?
During the holidays, please remember those who are grieving the loss of a loved one. Remember also our military members that may miss their families “back home” or that are separated from one another due to deployment.
When it comes to beating the holiday blues, researchers identified receiving spiritual support as the most important coping strategy for families overall. So do your part to encourage others this holiday season (See Romans 1:10-12)!
Just a thought…
I’ve noticed that people generally have a strong aversion to the hurt, grief, loss, and helplessness of others. Being in the presence of emotional pain is uncomfortable and awkward. In response, society tends to separate itself from people who are not emotionally stable in order to maintain its own illusions of strength.
