Profile Information

About Me:
Married, Mother of 3 daughters, full-time job and full-time mommy. I am finding ways to bring back my smile.
About my Loss:
I was the big sister to a little mister. At the age of 12 I lost my little brother in a tragic car accident. He was only 8 years old. I have struggled for years to find myself. I have struggled with fear. The fear that something terrible would happen to my own children. Raising my girls has been a challenge. I think the worst will happen and now I have anxiety issues that are barely controlled. I am learning how to express my feelings, give hope and help others. Occupying my mind with things I love is the only solution I have found to help myself and others. Taking the time to listen to others and creating something spectacular for their loved ones gravesite. Our loved one may be gone, but they are never forgotten.
Are You a Service Provider? If Yes, please tell us about your service.
I take the time to listen and take the time to create.
I create custom cemetery arrangements for families who have lost loved ones.
It has been a passion to go the gravesite and decorate stones with families whom are grieving. We talk and grieve together. We also talk about wonderful memories of the past. I provide this service free for my local community. Our loved one may be gone, but they will never be forgotten. Cemetery Arrangements are one way a family member shows just that. They are never forgotten!

The open wounds are now covered in scare tissue. The scare is still seen as bright as the sun in my uncontrollable fear.  Fear for my own children. At the age of 12 I lost my little brother, my little mister. He was 8 when he lost his life in a fatal car accident with my grandfather. My grandfather was…

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
