The healing process….it is up and down all the time…..it makes us cry and it makes us laugh…depending on what we are thinking of about our loved one no longer with us. In losing my mom, my dad, and my brother all at different times in my life..…I think of them, a situation, something clear out of the blue and it brings back a memory….sometimes it makes me smile or laugh and sometimes it makes me sad and cry. The other night I thought of what my dad use to say to me at nighttime….”don’t let the bed bugs bite”…brought a smile to my face…..I slept good that night…….do you have any words or sayings that someone you lost use to say to you to make you laugh or smile? Please share if you would like…
Bio for Eileen Donbeck Doyon
The loss of family members early in my life has been extremely difficult, and most recently I lost my dad to lung cancer and was with him til the end. I have been trying to figure out how to deal with death due to it being so much a part of my life. Most people will deal with loss at some point in their lifetime. The past two years have been depressing, complicated, and dark. In receiving two treasures last year, my dad's dog tags, and my grandmother's chandelier, it meant so much to me, my attitude, and my outlook on my own life. I felt their presence and their love all around me. I knew that others in my situation had to feel the same way. If so, I wanted to help. So that became my mission....to help others talk about their loved ones who have passed and to tell their stories of their own personal keepsakes. Our military is very precious to me. We owe so much to our veterans that have served and protected our country. So this became my theme of my second book.
People were so excited, emotional, happy, and sad all in one, but it was all good. We laughed and cried talking about memories and stories of loved ones. Sometimes, those feeling are buried deep down due to the crazy hectic lives we all live, and sometimes it just hurts too much to think or talk about. Everyone's comments were so supportive and positive. It really became a healing to all and made people feel good.
So, in this hectic life, I have decided to run a series of books titled "Unforgettable Faces and Stories". We all need to stop and think about people in our lives, both past and present, and stories of those unforgettable magic moments.
