Grieving On . . . 

Grief doesn't end but rather continues as part of our story

Songs from the Heart: Everyday . . . It's Hard to be Blue

1/6/2023

Each year on my birthday I take some intentional time away to reflect on life, working on some creative projects and consider that goals or dreams I might have for this next year of life. I started doing this about 8 years ago and find it to be rewarding in so many ways. This year, nestled away in my little cute cabin in Branson, Mo, I found myself thinking about Josh and our lives and suddenly was writing a song. I still miss him greatly but also have found myself at a point where I can also give thanks for the time we did have.

Over the period of 24 hours, the lyrics and melody to this song came together. I know I could keep tweaking it in many ways but at core, this song reflects my heart and love for my late husband. Below is a (not perfect) recording and also the lyrics.
Everyday… It’s Hard to be Blue
written by Jenn Brown | 1/6/2023

All my life I had waited, to find someone like you
 
You came along and our love was true 
True love, 
it carried us through
Through the dark days and sun rays too
 
But then you were gone, faster than I wanted
 
(Chorus)
But it’s hard to be blue when I think of you
You brought a smile to my face every time

You brought laughter to my heart
And joy to my soul

 
Everyday, everyday … I called you mine
 
Verse 2
If I would have known our time would be abridged
I would have loved you still
Cause each memory lingers like a capsule in my mind
A treasure for all time
 
But I’m still sad your gone
Faster than I wanted.


(Chorus)

Bridge:
I hope some way, somehow
You can hear these words from me now
Cause wherever you are without me.
I hope you know I loved you truly.


Verse 2
I can barely believe how long it’s been
Since I felt your embrace
Sometimes it feels like a lifetime ago
But then only yesterday

We hoped, we cried we prayed for more time
But time can’t be contained

 
Chorus
Still it’s hard to be blue when I think of you
You brought a smile to my face every time

You brought laughter to my heart
And joy to my soul


Everyday, everyday … I called you mine

    Hi! It's Jenn Brown, writing my story that is now slightly different as we enter a season of new grief. On September 30, 2019, my dear husband Josh passed away after battling brain cancer. 

    Life for me weirdly continues on and I'm continuing to share my heart and journey here in this space as a way to process and hopefully encourage others in their grief journey also. It's not easy for any of us.
