Teresa, thank you......you touched me. I needed that.
Breathe Peace.
For all of us.
Once again after today we will ring in a new year. I used to make new year wishes. Then Lil Del died. for awhile I would wish for it not to be true. Then I would wish for the hurt, confusion, and deep anger to subside. Then my Ben died. Something changed in me once again. This time it was different. I worked so hard to protect my husband, and daughter's, and myself for so long that I learned how to be closer to God, and why I need him in my life. New Years was always fun at our house. Good food, board games, and music! Just being together made the new year worth celebrating no matter how little we had. Now I pray. I pray for Peace, Love, and Understanding for all. I pray for strength, courage, and wisdom for every parent who has no choice but to take this journey. I want my children back. Since I know that can't happen, I will do whatever I have to do to get to be with them once more in Heaven. If that means fighting my way through the crap, or enduring the pain I carry with me everyday, then so be it. I'm going to blog now because I have so much to get out. There is no new year for us. We have to celebrate new years every day we get out of bed, and every second of peace our hearts are blessed with. Here's to Peace Hope, and Understanding to all in the coming New Every Day.
Judy my heart and prayers go out to you. This first year is filled with unbelievable pain. I hope you can see some lightness in the coming months. We all know how hard this journey through grief is.
Just came back from New Mexico and it was comforting to be with my step-son and his family. My daughter also flew in from Montana to be with us. Its been 4 months since my daughter Kyra past and it felt so good to bte with others who loved her too. We spent time crying and laughing together. They all kept me propped up. Its cold and grey in Vermont wish I was back in the southwest where the sun shines. My daughter Genna is moving back to Vermont with her boyfriend next October to farm on our property. I am so happy she would do this for her father and me. Today brings the close to a horrible year for me, Nothing will ever be the same again but we have to keep going for our other living family.
Love and hugs to all
Lynn
I hope the New Year can bring us some sort of peace. I will be thinking of each and everyone one of you today.
Every time I hear or read the statement, “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, ” I want to say that from my perspective, this could not be further from the truth. The truth is that if we can keep it from breaking us down completely, we are not left stronger; we are left changed; different.
I know this grief won’t end. It will only change and lessen. We
will not get over it, but we will learn to live beside it.
We will hold our memories in our hearts and rely on the promise that the thoughts that now make us mourn will one day be overshadowed by the memories that make us smile. ~At least it's a nice thought.~
Thinking of you all. Hang on.
