Triumph Over Tragedy

Everyone’s grief journey is unique to them. Heartache To Healing subscriber Melinda Bailey shares her story of triumph to tragedy.

“One cold November morning my husband of almost thirty- eight years, Sid, died suddenly in his sleep. I felt like my shattered heart could not possibly go on beating without him.

I remember lying alone in the dark that night, begging God to take me, too. But when the sun came up, I was still breathing. And I knew that somehow I would have to eventually figure out how to crawl up out of the deep hole of grief that… Continue reading
