My mom was ushered into the arms of Jesus early this morning. Both of my sisters were with her.
Our hearts are wrapped in grace as we thank God for her peaceful transition, and we trust him completely for his timing.
It will never feel like we’ve had enough time with my mom. Not another 30 years would be sufficient for our hearts. But we know that God has been with us step by step, and we will cherish these past few months with everything we have. She fought hard to be with us, but it was her time to go home.
Now it’s time for us to celebrate her beautiful life together. Please keep us in your prayers, especially my dad.
This is a photo of my mom worshipping The Lord to the song 10,000 reasons (Bless The Lord). She had tears in her eyes and pure joy in her heart.

About Lori Lara
I'm 7 years into recovery from PTSD, major depression, and addiction. Even though I've experienced miraculous spiritual healing in my life, I sometimes have to fight my way through new layers of grief and unanswered questions that continue to challenge me. I've come to realize recovery as a life-long journey, and I believe it's worth every frustrated scream and painful tear we endure to find the deeper purposes of life and meaningful relationship with God. It's time well spent to dig for the truth, freedom, and love we were created to enjoy. Love is the only answer to heal our spiritual wounds.
Nothing breaks my heart more than hearing stories of people who struggle silently and think they're alone; the truth is we are never alone. My goal is to remain committed to my own recovery while taking with me as many people as I can.
I'm inspired by people who share similar stories of recovery and their never-ending and perseverant quest for freedom and healing.
Now that I've found my voice, I'll never be quiet again. I'd love to hear your story and share this journey together...

Dear heavenly Father, please pour your grace, love and mercy on Lori and her family while you welcome your beautiful daughter into your arms. We know you will love and cherish her until her family joins you.
I was just thinking about you today (as we had spoke a while back about my father having brain cancer) and then I came on to read this. My heart and thoughts go out to you.
