Padre Pio National Shrine

 


 I went to the shrine yesterday. It was like Cheryl was pushing me to go. I prayed and talked with Ruthie. She is a true blessing. I thank you every day for encouraging us to go. I told her about Cheryl and I was very upset. Ruthie said from Cheryl: that I had to stop crying, that I would achieve and be given everything I wanted. She said that she's not suffering any more and that the illness was too much for her. She said that Padre Pio escorted her into heaven. I had a picture of her on my phone, and I showed her. She remembered her. She told me to stop the sickness and for me not to get sick with Diabetes. She knew. I have a doctor's appointment on Thursday for this reason. I feel so much better. She said not to worry about my test on Monday, or any tests that I will pass and I must remain strong in my faith. She said Cheryl is not alone but waiting for us, and surrounded by all the people who love us both who have passed on.  She made me promise to come back in a month or so to see her again and let her know who I am doing. 

 

I can't say what a relief it was to speak to her, and how my heart feels lighter, and I feel more a peace. I miss her terribly but I know she wants  me to be successful and happy and Cheryl is now my angel and will guide me.

 

I am in training for my first 5 K walk and it won't be the last one. I just have to wrap a few things at work that have kept me so busy that I can't concentrate at home, and begin something in Cheryl's honor. I'm gong to keep  making her hats for cancer kids, and for homeless kids and donate them. I just have to have the time.

 

I am also going to cross stitch a photo of us, with some of our favorite Bon Jovi items and wear to every concert I go to so that She'll be with me.  I may even get a tattoo of a daisy with her name in her memory because I promised I wouldn't ever forget her.

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

Sibling Loss

This group is for anyone that has lost a brother or sister. Sibling loss is often minimized and people don't realize how devastating losing a sibling can be. I lost my older sister and my life will never be the same. She was my only sibling, I looked up to her, I went to her for everything. I lost my past, present and future. It is traumatic.See More

Triggers Continue to Surface

Late February is a challenging time of year for me.  Jen’s birthday is the 23rd and serves as an annual reminder of all of the potential that was lost…Her’s (mainly), mine, the world’s honestly.  This year she would be 52…It is increasingly hard to imagine, through all of the iterations possible, what she could have become, what was to be her (significant) impact on the world.That being said, things, emotions, have largely settled down since I committed a potential version of what could have…See More
