For Starters

Welcome to my space!  I have so many blogs already written and look forward to sharing them soon.  So that i can begin to share now, please accept this brief intro to get us started on the journey through grief.  Yes, the point is to move through it, not get stuck in it.  It is SO sticky that it will take conscious choice, at the perfect time, for you to make it to the other side, through the grief goo.

I had at a point, when Zachary shared that he was going to be a Marine, reconciled with my mind that my son would be in a position that statistically increased his chances of leaving this earth before "his time".   I had the story down, that it was his life and I supported fully his choices, which I did.  Then our "plan" for life changed as he was diagnosed with a horrendous cancer.  Even then, our faith and minds were strong with possibility and belief that he would survive.  Then he didn't, and my mind was in shock over what I was experiencing.  Never, ever, ever, had I had any comprehension of the journey of grief as it would unfold in my life.  I discovered for myself, that this thing grief, wasn't just an emotional journey, it was a powerful energetic force.   I invite you to my experience,, with the intention that it helps your journey or the journey of one you love, through grief to the other side.

A work of love in progress from my heart to yours

"Happy" grief
