“I find somewhat to my surprise that I am feeling a little less lonely, a little stronger about facing the church’s expectations, a little more confident with my coping toolbox.” –Lisa Konick
And what is it that has helped Lisa? Talking to other clergy spouses. In my own small way, I hope that I am contributing to lessening some of the isolation and lack of support that clergy partners often experience. If nothing else, I hope hearing that I, too, have grappled with issues helps you know that at least you are “normal”!
And I love to hear from you, so leave me a comment if you come by!
