Surviving Grief Day 73❤️🕊️

During my meditation this morning, my heart was heavy.

These last few weeks have required me to make some really tough decisions. Some have been life changing, and others were simply necessary for me to continue moving forward in my healing journey.

Today was one of those days.

Today, I made the decision to take off my wedding ring.

It was one of the hardest decisions I’ve had to make. That ring wasn’t just jewelry it represented 30 years of love, commitment, faithfulness, and a lifetime of memories. Taking it off doesn’t mean I’ve stopped loving my husband. It doesn’t erase our story or the beautiful life we built together. It doesn’t mean I’ll ever forget him.

It simply means I’m being obedient.

During my quiet time, I felt God whisper, “It’s time.”

Not to let go of my husband…
But to let go of what has been keeping me from fully embracing the next season He has for me.

As I sat there, Ricky Dillard’s song “I Am Free” began to play, and it ministered to my spirit in a way I can’t even describe.

It reminded me that…
✨ God has broken every chain and breathed new life into me.
✨ I no longer have to be held captive by fear, guilt, or the weight of yesterday.
✨ My healing is evidence of God’s transforming power.
✨ I can honor my past while still embracing the future He has prepared for me.

Today wasn’t about removing a ring.

It was about making room for God’s will.

It was about trusting Him enough to release what I’ve been holding onto physically while continuing to carry the love in my heart forever.

Today, I choose obedience.
Today, I choose healing.
Today, I choose freedom.

And for the first time in a long time… my spirit feels lighter.
