The Serenity Prayer God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next. Amen.
In loving memory of |

The clouds are what happens in life. When it is sunny, the sky is like Jo's picture, or when there are dark clouds and stormy weather. Our loved ones are there for us eternally. Their essence is permanent like the sky. And, when it is our time we will be reunited in Heaven.

You contributions make this effort special.
When you feel just horrible. It only means you are human, and miss your loved one.
When you feel blue. It only means you are human, and miss your loved one.
When you cry, that is healing. It only means you are human, and miss your loved one.
Ignore what people that have not suffered a loss such as your loss have to say that you should be better, over it, etc. It will take however long it takes, every person is different, every bond is different. Brush them off, like lint.
P.S. If you feel you need more help because you can not function or can not go on, by all means talk with your doctor. Sometimes, we do need additional help whether is medication, counseling, a local support group. Be open minded, this is the time to make your healing a priority. Forget about any stigma attached to the above. You matter, you do what it takes to get better.
A friend of mine gave me some advise I would like to share. She told me not to make any big decisions for at least a year after my loved one passed. I took her advise, I just wait to see what life brings, and make only decisions that I absolutely have to make.
JO the picture of the birds reminds me of a time I was upset at the coldness I had just dealt with. I went out on the porch and saw a large bird way up in the sky and thought, she doesn't have to deal with any of this anymore, ever again. It made me feel better she was at peace.
I also talk to my mom's picture. It makes me feel that she's still out there, somewhere.
There is a proverb that tells us:
"All things will be revealed."
Going thru huge loss such as is when we grieve for a family member one gets to see who are allies truly are, who is loyal to us, who understand and stands by us.
It is the pruning of the tree, and henceforward we realize that God is the only constant. And, that alone suffices.
