What a wonderful, refreshing article! I've experienced much loss the past 12 months - loss of mom, loss of health, loss of daughter's marriage, loss of freedom caring for elderly parents, loss of beloved dog. I have felt as a believer that I needed to remain joyful, positive, encouraging but each time I got knocked down, I found it harder to get up and frankly, I'm exhausted. And I'm learning it's okay to admit that it's okay to not be okay!
