When Maddi left for college almost a decade ago I experienced a grief that even today, i can’t put into words. I cried for weeks and felt the heaviness of the reality that life would never be the same as our kids left the nest.

Our little nuclear family. Our weekly FHE and family prayers and scripture study and youth activities and early morning seminary. All the things I believed good families should do. Our lives were intertwined in ways many little families are, and I fiercely mourned the life I built as it slipped through my fingers.

It’s a weird experience grieving something that you accept entirely…knowing that kids growing into adults is exactly what our work as a parents is for. But to be shredded by it at the same time.

2 years after maddi left for college my faith came unravelled as I was preparing to become a seminary teacher. Our family eventually left the church. I would have never believed or accepted that path or the changes that were ahead of us. But now today, 9 years later, my griefy fight with fate is barely a memory. Im happier than ever, living a life with my family that would have terrified me.

I like to think back on that first semester of college, with insight that only a decade could give me, and whisper to that terrified, devastated mom that life isnt over. Its just getting started. by @elisha.l.ee

Making the decision to have a child - it is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.
