A Long Two Months....
Has it only been two months since Cindy died? Seems like much longer ago. Gotta be the longest two months of my life.
Everyone keeps asking me how I'm doing. Honestly, I don't know. O.K. I guess. Going through the motions, one step at a time. Living in the present without much sense of future. Pretty normal for grieving, I hear.
I don't want to move on from her nor do I want to wallow in this point either. But to feel it so intensely is, in some way, to honor her too. Thanks to all of you for sharing with me your Cindy memories and how she impacted you in some way. Such a wonderful person, woman, girl. How did I manage to snag her in the first place? Thank you Jesus!
Just started with a 13-week program called Grief Share. A video, workbook and small group to process with. Just what I need. This statement from the first week struck me: "Grief is the celebration of a good gift from God through tears."
If the gift you lost wasn't good, you wouldn't grieve, right? That statement was followed by one I've heard elsewhere - "The only way to avoid grief is to never love." Where can I check "LIKE?"
I'm looking forward to an event hosted at our church, Grace Chapel this Saturday - "Night of Worship - Giving Glory to God for the life of Cindy Trevisan." If you're not already planning to attend, consider coming. Grace worship leader, Heather, has got a special line-up of musicians and singers to make the night truly special.
As you may recall, Cindy sang with the Grace Chapel Worship Team along under Heather's direction for 14 years. This was one of her most cherished roles in life so I promise she would be thrilled to be in any way associated with a night like this to give glory to God.
Perhaps I'll see you Saturday?

Absolutely- I am so looking forward to another time together to honor Cindy!!
I will be there to honor the life of a woman I loved💕. She would be so joyful to be a part of this evening, and her spirit will be present! Looking so forward to the special event! Blessings to Heather and her team for creating this special evening! 🙏
So sad that we will miss this event - we will be at a wedding. Miss Cindy and think of her (and you!) often. 😘
I also have a wedding to attend & will regretfully miss the celebration of Cindy on Saturday.
Glenn, I am so touched by your ability to share your heart so openly & honestly. ( Even when it's breaking) We can't make it to this beautiful event but will continue to keep you in our thoughts & prayers as you adjust to this brutal new reality of life. Love you.
Cindy will always be in our hearts, and now her spirit will fill the sanctuary again at Grace Chapel on Saturday! How she would love this touching musical tribute. Miss her, too.
Glenn: It is good that God is leading you to the support that you need at this grieving time.
I'll be celebrating Cindy with you. ❤️
That's so wonderful Glenn! I wish I could be there...but I'll be praying God's abundant blessings over you all. I am sure Cindy will be dancing in Heaven during it! Also...I cannot imagine how difficult this time is for you. I'm so glad you're going to Grief Share. They blessed us when my mom died. Praying God's continued peace as you walk through one day at a time. One thing I DO know, God is an incredible spouse!! He's the most understanding, loving, comforting, providing, protecting, defending spouse there is. He is with you and He truly understands your pain and grief...better than anyone in this world. So, as you walk, walk every step, every moment with Him. You'll likely discover a relationship that grows, deepens and becomes so much more than you could have ever imagined. Praying for you!!
I have been looking forward to this event for days. Now as we pack to travel back to Michigan, tears begin to trickle down my cheeks. It is summer time, I should be planning for Cindy and Kim to join my in norther Michigan for our annual outing, celebrating friendship, not a celebration of her home-going. Now life has turned upside down, Glenn I feel your pain, just in a different way. So glad you found a group to walk along side you to help maneuver through this journey. Love you brother and miss Cindy something awful.
Glenn, hoping that they will you-tube the tribute for later viewing as Craig and I are out of town that night. Thinking of you as I always do.
Glad to hear to have started with Grief Share. We have a friend who is a counselor and I understand that it is a very helpful program to help you work through and process your grief.
It was such an honor to be included in the tribute to Cindy and her love of worship music and our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
Please give my compliments to all the musicians! Vocals, instrumentalists -all were exceptionally good. Between the uplifting verse and the wonderful sounds, it was truly a beautiful tribute. No wonder Cindy loved to sing at Grace! ❤️
