How do you grieve the loss of a dream? How do you let go of something you spent years dreaming about, and more years pouring your blood, sweat and tears into creating? When your hopes, dreams, and visions for the future shatter, and you’re left picking up the pieces, packing what’s left, and walking away?
That is the place I now stand in. In what seems to be an unending season of loss, I wipe more tears from my cheeks as I look at what remains of a dream I spent years pouring my heart and soul into. I know some things in life last forever, but most are only for a season,…..but it doesn’t make the ending any less painful.
This is what remains of my dream, and my heart in some ways…Now empty, missing the warmth and love it once radiated with, and holding the heaviness of loss.
The shop is completely empty now, and the building sits in the dark waiting to be handed to its new owners in the next few days, as I sit here with a heavy heart and mind. I knew this day was coming, but it doesn’t make it any easier. All I can do is grieve another loss, and keep trusting that God is still in control, sees my tears and broken heart, and is closing one chapter to open another sometime, somewhere…..
I will keep trusting, and pushing through one day at a time, and hoping there will be a rainbow on the horizon at some point. Closing my shop will forever be an ache in my heart, but wrapped up in so many good memories, filled with some of the most amazing people……Much love to all of you for the years of your love and support. I will be forever grateful….
