Wresting with Death, Eternity, and the Fear of Letting Go

Death is a topic I’d rather avoid but Chapter Four of The Purpose Driven Life (“Made to Last Forever”) gently brought me face-to-face with it. In this reflection, I share my honest fear of dying because of what I would have to leave behind: my fiancé, my children, my parents, and the relationships that make life feel sacred. This post explores what it means to live with eternity in mind, how our love is a glimpse of forever, and the shift God is inviting me into: moving from fear to reverence, and learning to trust the God who holds both this life and the next.
