For the last few weeks my feelings have been melancholy and somber, so much so that Per said to me, “I’m worried about you.” Two nights ago a dream made me understand that my somber feelings were from watching somber videos on YouTube. Among the YouTube videos I’ve been watching have been segments of women, […]
Trials, challenges and suffering are so very hard to bear. Sometimes nothing comforts the hole in my heart because I want back what used to be in the hole or want the hole to go away. I think of the Savior when he said, “I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.” […]
