My Journey

This past year has been the most difficult time of my life. And at this point, it's still not getting any easier. I pray every day that my heart will heal and the joy of life will return. I'm a different person than I was a year ago and I will never return to the person I once was. My life was good, actually better than I thought. Now, I would give anything to have just one of those days back. I wish I could have said good-bye.....I've learned this is called unfinished business. I have read several books just trying to find answers, anything to help me understand. My grief journey has led me down many paths. I have questioned my religion and tapped into spirituality. I feel like I have been on a journey to find my Son.....and I'm still on the path. I pray that he will come to me and tell me he's happy. As a parent, you just need to know your child is okay. My faith tells me he's in a good place but I miss the physical connection so much. No hugs, no smiles, no phone calls......nothing. I'm hoping this blog is a place for others to post their comments and together we can help each other heal.

I remember you saying how desperate you were to know that young shaun was going to be OK when he was being treated for cancer. As you cried out one day for a message, you heard a voice say that he would be all right. I believe in time you'll experience that moment of peace again through such a message.

I feel exactly the same way about losing my grandma on October 11th of last year. Those words could have come right out of my mouth.
