Words for the Journey

A bad dream...I count the weeks, days, the hours, the seconds since you left. I wait for signs that you are near.For whispers in my ear,For pictures on my screen. A light to flicker, The alarm to scream.

Imagine you are a Crystal Angel and a rock has been thrown at you.You have been shattered and believe you are beyond repair.Now imagine that "Time" is an artist who intends to repair you.Piece by piece your shards are glued back together.It is extremely laborious and time consuming.

 

Messages and Guidance through Signs from Loved Ones  We're thinking of you deeply as we recognise your pain

In 2007 four family members – my daughter, father-in-law, brother and only sibling, and my former son-in-law -- all died. My daughter and her former husband died in separate car crashes. Their deaths made my twin grandchildren orphans and my husband and me their guardians. Time and again, friends told me “You’re a strong person,” a comment I came to dread.

I cry myself to sleepBehind closed doors I weepBut I make it day by dayGod you have showed me the wayI feel the pain, hurt & sorrowBecause of You, I live for tomorrow

Valentine’s Day, Past and Present… 

When some one we love dies, days on the calendar take on a new meaning.  Days that once were full of joyful anticipation can now be a cause for dread and fear. Knowing that we can no longer celebrate special days without our loved ones has changed every holiday and other special days.

Happy holidays?!? Your love one has died, your world has been turned upside down, and all you want is the one thing that you cannot have --your loved one back.  The rest of the world goes on with the parties, the celebrations, the lights and the cheer, and you want more than anything to magically skip this season. What do you do?
