Notes from the guestbook on Val's obituary

July 24, 2011

Valerie joined us for a short stint at BYU's Kennedy Center Publications. She did not stay with us long. I think our publishing agenda was too constrictive for her, but her creative thinking and writing stirred my soul and I'm grateful for the opportunity I had to spend some time with her. The few times we saw each other thereafter certainly were like meetings of long-time friends.…

WOULD OF, SHOULD OF, COULD OF

I kept thinking to myself,

“I should of stayed home that Sunday before mom died instead of taking a couple…

Good Grief

Why does grief have to be so traumatizing anyway?  

Maybe there is such a thing as  'Good Grief'!

Friendship never dies, love never dies

Lost and regret are two words I really hate. I lost my best friend. I regret the times I won't have her here with me. I miss her every damn day. I feel like i'm not whole any more. That the things that matter don't because she's not here.

 

I regret all the stupid fighting we did over nonsense. I loved her from very core. We were sisters, and best friends. 

 

I know that our love and friendship while now separated in death, will never die, but God it hurts so…

  I lost my sister on June 3rd unexpectedly. I had been caring for her for 2 yrs. She was fighting for her disability so therefore had no medical attention. I am feeling very insecure in my relationship. I am afraid that my partner will leave me. I have been told this is normal but am not sure how to deal with it from day to day.

True Love Remains Forever

No matter how many years shall pass, nor what will take place in my life, I will never forget the love I had for my husband of 46 years.  But, living does go on and we must all look to the present and future and take the lessons of the wonderful love we had and add them on to our new lives.  One is never parted from our loved ones and one day we shall be together in peace in a way we never imagined while here.  I wish this for everyone who has suffered the loss of a loved one.  My love goes…

Unexplained dreams

I lost my daugther almost 2 years ago and I haven't had very many dreams of her,even though I pray every night for them...but I have had several where she doesn't know who I am. She could look right at me and not have any idea who I was. I was just another person to her. A stranger. What does this mean? Does it mean she won't know me when it's my time? Am I looking too much into this?

Please if anyone has had these same dreams help me to understand them. These dreams scare me. I'm…

Last Semester- So We Are Moving On

I don't really know why my mothers' passing is still affecting me. I can only come up with a couple of theories but never any solid answers on it. Maybe if there was someone out there who understood what its like to feel empty. Maybe if there was someone who could just sit and talk to me about what I'm feeling. The strange thing is, there will be days, sometimes even weeks when I'm okay. Happy.…

Healthy Affirmations

Affirmations are simple statements you say to yourself that place positive ideas and suggestions into your brain.  The key is in frequent repeating of these positive statements, preferably out loud, softly, to yourself - so that your system can absorb these thoughts and come to act on them automatically.



Use the following affirmation to improve your health:

I take care of myself; I eat balanced meals regularly even if I am not hungry.  I take frequent rest…

Black Fades To White

I still can't believe it's been 5 months since my dad passed.  I find myself still completely forgetting everything that has happened and going about my day as if all is well. Busy at work, keeps my brain busy and then it hits me that he's gone.  For weeks go by and I'm thinking he's still here.  But he's not. The severe pain is gone and I'm shocked that it seems to have faded so quickly.  The black pain seems to be gone, but now there's some mixed in with a bit of white... a light at the end… Continue

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
