I am sharing my grief journey that began over three years ago. It is not an easy path but there is HOPE - you can learn to live again. Albeit different - we as grieving parents are forever changed. God is my navigator on this journey of grief; I am never alone. He brings me comfort in the hardest of times. "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed." Psalm 33:18

Signs of Hope
Last couple days I have been fighting the great sadness. The death of a child has no time table as we all know. There are so many triggers that knock me to my knees. Sunday I attended a memorial service at the funeral home where my Jay had been. Since then I've been fighting this choking feeling in my chest. I have learned that when the sadness is too big; I need to move and do something. So I went into my gardens and worked; all along saying to myself what is the purpose in doing this. Stinken thinking!!!!!!! I once loved working in the gardens it brought me peace. Now I seem to do it to stay busy. When my heart is the heaviest is when I get "Signs of Hope". Little snippets that remind me that just because I can't physically see Jay doesn't mean that he is not near. Today out of the corner of my eye; I saw the hawk as he glided through the trees in town and then I saw a camper that had "Jay's Flight" written on it's side. Coincidence I think not....... http://www.reference.com/motif/science/symbolism-of-hawk
