THIS IS MY JOURNEY

KAREN ADELAIDE

Navigating the journey of grief, embracing purpose for the day, and walking in God’s strength + hope.

Empowering others to do the same. Together, we can do hard things and savor life right were we are.

Do you ever feel like life is going along as usual and then BAM, it turns and takes a direction you never saw coming? 

Well, that happened to me. On December 18, 2018, my husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor which we soon found out was terminal. He lived for 20 months and then passed away on September 28, 2020.

Maybe for you, it wasn't the death of a spouse or a loved one but the loss of a friendship.

 Maybe it was the loss of a job. A child making decisions and seeing their life go down a path you had not planned for them.

Or unmet expectations of what you wanted your life to look like at a certain age. 


You are left wondering what happened and how did I get here? 

Well, I am here to tell you that life doesn’t always go as planned. We don’t always understand. And we never have all the answers. 

But in the midst of it all, we can still have hope and peace. Strength and confidence. 

We will not only survive these hard seasons but we can thrive through them.
