Why I Created This Website
Healing is an experience we each face and handle differently. Each of us goes through loss, grief and change differently. Our own individual life experiences affect how we process our grief and how we begin to heal. Healing is an essential process for each of us. When we heal we begin to experience life in a whole new way. We find new hope in our everyday life, a renewed sense of purpose and an understanding that God/Spirit is part of our life.
Healing allows us to accept our grief and loss. It doesn’t mean we don’t miss the loved one or friend who has moved into spirit; it simply means we learn to accept this unforseen loss in our lives. For me there will always be painful moments, hours and days when I wish I could see, touch, hold and laugh with those I love. I believe that desire will always be present, but over time I’ve faced this reality which I cannot change with more grace and less pain and anger. It’s a very gradual process to heal. It won’t be rushed and no matter how we try we can’t hide from it. It surfaces in odd moments and in unusual ways, forcing us to face it so we can make peace with it. I cannot make anyone’s grief go away. I cannot make anyone’s life different than it is. I can only share my experiences and my healing and hope that you will find a path toward healing and grace in your own life. May this day and this site begin to bring you a measure of peace.
With blessings and gratitude I share my path and my healing.
