We bought our new home between bereavements. My husband lost his mother early this year, recently I lost my dad. Both suffered greatly before they died. We think having our new home will be part of a healing process for us.
We have named the house after a village where my great grandparents lived and worked. It wears the name well. It will contain many memories and keepsakes of previous generations. I hope they will be a balm to us and to the house as it journeys with us.
It's such a lovely place to find solace for your sadness. I wish you many years of comfort and joy.
ReplyDeleteThank you! We also hope it will be a place of restoration for many others.
