It's WTF Wednesday (long post)
I’m having a real WTF moment realizing it’s Wednesday.
Yesterday, we had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to our beloved horse, Simply.
For 9 years, my days were shaped around him…
checking on him, caring for him, just being with him.
Simply, was literally our way of life.
And now… there’s this quiet space where that rhythm used to live.
Grief does something strange to time.
The world keeps moving as if nothing changed,
but for you… everything feels slowed down, like you’re walking through it in a different reality.
So today, there is no artwork to share, no, "what's the focus" for the week.
Just a question and a poem:
How do you grieve?
For me… I’ve learned to feel it.
All of it. The waves, the heaviness, the moments that catch you off guard.
I didn’t always do that.
When Eric passed, I tried to be “strong.”
I pushed it down, held it together… and it only delayed the healing.
It wasn’t until I let myself actually feel the things I didn’t want to feel
that something began to shift.
Somewhere in that process,
I found my way back to creating from passion instead of performance.
Writing. Designing. Letting the emotion move through something instead of getting stuck inside me.
It became a release.
A quiet place to put the pain… and somehow turn it into something meaningful.
Today, I want to share something I wrote in honor of our sweet boy…
whose name couldn’t have been more fitting:
Simply Worth the Wait
You carried more than riders,
and jumped more than hurdles,
You carried our joy & sorrows
through life’s tightest circles,
a quiet reminder the journey is
Simply worth the wait.
They spoke in low numbers,
said chances were small,
But you answered by staying,
outlasting it all,
a living reminder that faith is
Simply worth the wait.
Through love and through prayer,
through each fragile day,
You gave us more time
than they said you would stay,
a miracle reminder that hope is
Simply worth the wait.
When Loss tried to find us
and pull us apart,
You stood there beside us
and steadied each heart,
a quiet reminder that love is
Simply worth the wait.
And somewhere within it,
through all that you gave,
You turned it around
in the moments we braved,
a deeper reminder that we are
Simply worth the wait.
Not rushed in our healing,
not late in our time,
not missing the mark
in some grander design,
a lasting reminder that timing is
Simply worth the wait.
Your life was a gift,
and your message remains,
in the quiet between
all our joy and our pain,
a forever reminder that life is
Simply worth the wait.

There’s no right way to grieve.
No timeline. No rules.
Just whatever helps you move through it… one moment at a time.
If you feel like sharing…
how do you grieve?
