Lily’s Flowers
***
Have you ever experienced a debilitating loss? A loss that shatters your entire world, making it difficult to do anything, such as get out of bed, hold a job, or even breathe at times.
Lily’s Flowers is a story about how one man found his way out of the darkness of grief by helping others. It’s a story of love and hope. John was in his early fifties when he lost his wife Lily to cancer. His life fell apart after that; he lost his job, he stopped meeting up with friends, he stopped attending church, and his relationship with his adult children became increasingly difficult. With the love of his life gone, he needed to find a new purpose. John discovers that helping others is one of the keys to overcoming grief.
The story is about how someone can find a way out of the darkness of grief, to find purpose once again. It all starts by trusting God and letting faith in God lead the way. Loss affects each person differently, so there isn’t one solution that fits all situations, but anything is possible with the right attitude. Miracles can happen if you are willing to take a leap of faith and embrace change.
