Suffering suffering, go away, Come again another day

We are not here to suffer, we were not put here to suffer, so let the light shine in and shine on you and your families and your lives!   I believe our loved ones are in the sunshine, in the rain, in the air, and just basically in nature.  They have become a greater and more beautiful part of this world, part of us all!

Life is a continuous process...it never ends!

And Psssst...I'll let you in on a little secret!  They stop by in your dreams, speak to you, caress you, and out…

To My Grandma And Everyone Who Lost A love One....


If we could have a lifetime wish
A dream that would come true,
We'd pray to God with all our hearts
For yesterday and You.
A thousand words can't bring you back
We know because we've tried...
Neither will a thousand tears
We know because we've cried...
You left behind our broken hearts
And happy memories too...
But we never wanted memories
We only wanted You.

This is for all the Mothers that lost there child...



I miss my Mommy oh so much

But I visit her each day

When she goes to sleep

On her pillows where I lay

I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek

And whisper in her ear

Mommy don't be sad today

I'm your baby and I am here"



So you see my dear sweet one

Your children are okay

Your babies are here in My home

And this is where they'll stay

They'll wait for you with Me

Until your lessons are through

And on the day you come…

GOD SAID....

AND GOD SAID



I said, "God, I hurt."

And God said, "I know."



I said, "God, I cry a lot."

And God said, "That is why I gave you tears."



I said "God, I am so depressed."

And God said, "That is why I gave you Sunshine."



I said, "God, life is so hard."

And God said, "That is why I gave you loved…

First days of school have come and gone...

The very first day, yesterday, was normal. Not too bad, not the greatest. A few people noticed my tattoo and said how they were sorry about it, etc, and some friends saw it for the first time in person and just wordlessly gave my a hug. I went and saw one of his teachers, saw one of my teachers that I unexpectedly left last year a week before school was over and talked to her a bit, that was the only time that day that there was any danger of crying, but i made it through without a drop, and… Continue

A poem for Jami

I live each day with you in my heart

and you're always on my mind

All of my happy thoughts of you

Help to lighten up the grind

I look at grief, then I look at you

and can see it's not so bad

This grief doesn't even measure up

to all the good times we had

I keep a big umbrella

It opens up like wings

They fly me to a far away place

Where I can see all things

I close my eyes and see a light

That makes me…

For Nicki

Our little boy Nicholas, sleeping beside mommy

Was just waking up to play

You couldn't wake your mommy up you said

On that very dreadful day

You were with her alone at home

A debt no child should have to pay

I wish that I could have been there

before they carried your mommy away

Every morning now when he gets up

he has the same words to say

"Dad, I know you miss mom, I miss her too,

but it will be okay!"

This…

The lifeline of love

Thought I would share with you another poem I wrote,

The lifeline of love

We were knitted together as one

it was you that was my lifeline

until death came and took you away

and snapped right through our strong twine

Now I am falling so very fast

no lifeline with which to save me

I never thought the line would…

Pain

I had My Daddy Terry, for 25 years and for some reason I feel it was not long enough. I have so much anger, hurt, guilt, and pain built up. I know he went to heaven but it is still so ha

♥ I Love And Miss You Grandma ♥

I wish heaven had a phone so I could hear your voice again. I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, from which I'll never part. God has you in his arms I have you in my heart ♥

Come and see me and lay beside me!

Went to visit Jami's grave today.

It was the first time, so I gathered all of my courage and took it with me to face my fears. There really wasn't fear today, just a brief amount of nervousness.

When I got there I knelt down and brushed off some grass from her headstone. Moments later, without even thinking about it, I found myself lying beside the top of her small headstone, which is next to her vase above the buried urn.

After the dream from a couple of nights ago of her lying… Continue

Celebrate Life, Never Forget the loved ones

HI Everyone,  I know in grief there are moments of great light and moments of deep and dark despair. I know that I miss my best friend to the very ends of time, but like Michael said, it is not what she wanted for me. Before she died: she made me promise:1) I would walk a 5 K ovarian cancer walk- I will be registering for the one on October 16th, 2011. I'm terrified but I know it will make her proud.2) I promised her - to never ever forget her.3) I promised to talk to her, to come and visit her… Continue

Nothing you can sing that can't be sung. 
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play

There's nothing you can make that can't be made.
 No one you can save that can't be saved. 
Nothing you can do but you can learn…

The Rainwater brought my wife to me for a visit.......Just a dream??

I had a dream last night of my wife Jami.  She was lying beside me and she was all in white.

She said something about she was able to spend a little time with me.  Her face was very pure and vivid, and she was dressed in white (or just glowed in white).  

Some of her words she spoke of were that she will always love Nicki and me and everything will be alright.

Holding her,kissing her and smelling her perfume were also obvious during and after the dream.

I remember…

Almost 2 months and its getting harder not easier

First I had to keep it together for my husband because he had enough to deal with without being worried about me.  Then it was making arrangements and taking care of immediate business that kept me holding on.  But now, nearly 2 months in and Im finally starting to realize how much I have lost.  How much I loved him and didnt mean it when I told him I would be ok.  I am not ok, I will never be ok again.  I dont need anything but for my love to be back here beside me where he belongs.  I will… Continue

Has your grief affected your faith?

I have been a christian for 18 years and have loved the lord with all my heart and been an active member of my church for that time. I have been through many trials and have always found strengh in God and my church family. At the moment though I am really struggling, I havn't been to church since January and have not been able to worship, I know God is with me and don't want to abandon him or my faith but there seems to be a barrier. I wondered if anyone on here has found this difficult. It…

I cant stop the tears any longer...

A few weeks ago, i was talking to Ryan about Robert again, and he said something that bothered me, and made me think that every time i talk about Robert, it bothered him. So i vowed to not talk about Robert to Ryan anymore, which is why i got an account on here, so i could talk and not bother him. But i dont have my real, personal person anymore, and it seems to be taking a harder toll than i thought it would. Today is 3 months since the accident, and it seems harder than ever. 3 months since… Continue

Pills, pills and more pills ......Anger Stage - "Hello!"

I was overcome today with anger about my wife's passing.

A lot of it has to do with her Doctors.  I know it is easy to blame the doctors, and I have been told that nobody makes them take anything or put a pill in their mouth except the person taking it.  

Now hold on just a minute, because if it wasn't for the doctors just laying script after script out for her, plus bags and boxes of samples, maybe she would still be here today.

Can't some of these types of doctors get…

We all have one thing in common besides grief. Time...

Grief is work, requiring time and energy. The memories, meanings and fulfilled needs provided by the lost loved one take time to work through.

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
