YOU’RE MY ANGEL – PART 1

Posted on January 19, 2013 by Judy

You are my angel in the sky, like a butterfly
you flew away and couldn’t stay
we had to say goodbye
love can never die
so you must know I miss you so
my angel in the sky Continue reading →

Was I really helping other people with my optimism or bringing myself back into my former sad world? I’ve written many times that the amputation of my soul was a permanent condition. And I’ve also said that grief is not recoverable. Such a contradiction to announce that I have healed! So in order to be more consistent, from now on I am going to say that, “I’m still healing,” instead of saying, “I have healed.” Grief is a process. It will follow me for the rest of my life.

I’LL LIVE WITHIN MY BROKEN HEART

Posted on January 3, 2013 by Judy

Many, many people succumb to their grief.
Grieving is hard work and consumes one’s existence.

HOW WILL I EVER SAY GOODBYE?

Posted on December 20, 2012 by Judy

Every time I sang the words “How will I ever say goodbye?” I felt tears fill my eyes. My son’s death was something I had not consciously anticipated, though he was sickly with his heart defect. What would it have been like to be with my child knowing he would soon die? I could not imagine! I wrote to a mother last night. She was anticipating that soon her daughter’s suffering would end and she would be entering the black hole of grief. Continue reading →
