Memories Over Dinner

Tonight I made my roasted lemon and herb chicken for my family. It was one of Matt's favorite meals.
It was tougher than I had thought it would be, sitting down to eat something he liked so much. But it was therapeutic as well.
We got to laughing over one memory in particular. The first time I made the chicken for him, he was so enamored with the crispy skin that he kept burning his fingers trying to pick pieces of it off.
My daughter requested we make another of his…

on this day

Today is October 6th. On this day in 2007 my son Ben and my daughter AJ were on their way home to be God parents for my grandsons baptism. I got up that morning and went to work. I was a little miffed at AJ because she gets a little pushy about church. My cell phone rang at 2pm. I did not answer it because I thought it was AJ, and I did not want to argue with her. It wasn't her calling, It was the highway patrol. I went to the church with my husband and youngest daughter to make prepartions for… Continue

Remember...

...that all things work together for the glory of God. I keep reminding myself of this when I sense myself going down that dark road of depression.
I miss Matt more than anything right now. Every little thing that I see or do reminds me of him in one way or another. I find myself unable to even really write about the event... I suppose I'll write about my depression.
Everyone is so worried about me because of my history. Yes, I have major depression disorder. Yes I suffer from…

I can only imagine

Today driving down the highway I heard the song "I can only Imagine". I cried with the deepest of yearning to talk to my sons and hold them just once more. Reality set in and I thought wow! I can only imagine when that day comes will I be able to once again hold my sons in my arms and will they know me.I then ask myself "will I really go to heaven, is there really a heaven. Why cant I know now.

Living With The Memories (Part 1)

There were no rules given to me when my mother passed away. In one way, I was just tossed into life and expected to adapt without asking any questions. If I asked questions I was turned away or shut out because no one had the answers.

Even now no one knows how to respond to me...

I will confess that I am tired of fighting. I'm tired of smiling all the time. I'm tired of pretending…

Life With No Mother (Part 1)

When my mother passed I hid inside of myself. I wrote endless short stories, novels. I have several poetry books. My grandmother and aunt have done a good job raising me, but there is nothing like having the comfort of your own mother. A woman that knows every part of you. A woman that will always count you first. I was my mother first born. I have a younger sister but she was too little to remember our mother much. I have tried to keep our mothers image in her head as much as…

Signs From Our Loved Ones

Our story begins on June 27 2004, that is when we received the most heartbreaking, devastating and overwhelming news any parent could ever receive, that one of their children has died. Our son Billy was killed instantly while riding his ATV at night hitting a tree. In the days and weeks after our loss of our son Billy, one of my most overwhelming needs was to find a way to make a connection with Billy in heaven, not knowing if it even was possible. I was going to find a way no…

My son is gone - 38 years old, too soon.

I lost my son on August 23 to Lynphoma cancer that had turned to Lukemia. He looked fine, he was relatively healthy but within a week he had died. He had lived with me on and off for the past three years (since he was diagnosed) and I was with him until the end. I had to tell the doctors to turn off the machines. My daughter, I have two children, was my rock. Thank God for my daughter or I wouldn't have been able to get through it. I am still in deniial I think. Most of the time I can't believe… Continue

The most beautiful 'hello'

I happened to get an email update from the online grief site last week. I have suffered a lot of traumatic loss, the worst being the loss of my Mom (who was my best friend) almost three years ago to cancer. Well, I was just surfing around this site when I came across the 'after death communication' blog. I read the blog, and I thought to myself...."If Mom were to come and let me know she was here, she would be a butterfly". That was that. Well, I left the next day for vacation with my…

My son is so much more than a memory!

Back in October 2009, my 21 yr old was riding his friend's motorcycle down a residential street when he was rammed into another car. Thank God the occupants of that car were not seriously hurt but unfortunately, my son sustained a massive brain injury and he passed away a week later. My whole life changed in an instant, nothing could ever prepare a parent for this kind of nightmare. My faith has been weakened but not totally destroyed. I begged God to spare my son and take me in his place if… Continue

July 18, 2010

It's been a little over five weeks now since my daughter, Lyndsey, was killed in a motorcycle accident. Yes, she thought she was invincible... doesn't every 27 year old? That Saturday night she was going to a party at her best friends house...IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AROUND THE BLOCK!!! No matter how old she was, I always worried when she went out! But, this time...going around the block...she could walk home if she had too much to drink or just spend the night like she's done before. She didn't… Continue

Three words to cause a resurfacing of old pain.

Couple of days ago, I had a conversation with a friend of Chris' on a social networking site. It was wonderful at first, because he reminded me that she'd spent time in the UK. (She'd told me, but it was one of those memories which got pushed aside at the end.) However, later on, it became tricky. We discussed the final times we'd talked to her (for me it was January 23, 2007.) He mentioned that he was able to have a conversation with her two weeks before her death. After this things got… 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
