Words for the Journey

The World Of Shadows  When you died I was lost in a parallel world of shadows

♥♥♥♥♥ After the funeral was all over and done everyone went home and moved on, after the funeral I couldn't move on, for me I was in denial you were goneMy life now is forever changed.His presence in my life was everyday.With memories and reminders that flash in my brainFor me it's a nightmare, from which I can't awake.

As a little girl like so many I lost a pet or two. My dad always prayed for the particular pet that he was about to bury he often buried my pets under their favorite trees or favorite laying place in the yard, where ever it may be.

It was time to plan a future. The first year of widowhood was the hardest. The second year wasn't a piece of cake, but I felt a bit of joy at times and a little less pain.

  Validation Comes From Within I am my own evidence. 

I'm fourteen months into my journey of grief. Fourteen months since the day when I felt my heart literally break and my world stop turning. Never in a million years did I expect to lose my brother when I was only 26 years old.

 I hear it quite often asked of me, “How Do I Live Without Them since They’ve Died?”  I want to help you to change that question. I ask you to replace this question with, “How can I honor my loved one’s Legacy and Keep them alive within the Hearts of Those who love them since they have Graduated in their Life’s Journey to Heaven?”
