An Apt Description of Grief, from THE JOURNEY by Mindy Wilsford

18 CommentsAdvertisementMy son, Chad became very connected to the songs sung by Johnny Cash. I thought it a little odd, since he typically liked rock music. In the last few years of his life I saw him connect with the music & life of Johnny Cash. He even bought a guitar & was teaching himself to play. Around that same time the movie "Walk The Line" came out about the life of Johnny Cash. It became one of our fav...1 Recommendation12 Comments
Agape' Poem
My son, Jeremy wrote this poem. After his initials at the bottom he wrote PLUR. If I remember right that stood for Peace Love Unity & Respect.1 Recommendation11 CommentsAs the holidays approach I know we may often feel very sad... but today I have two poems I want to share with you that I hope you'll keep in your heart to help you with the pain.

Breaking through the clouds that gather,
O'er the Christian's natal skies,
Distant beams, like floods of glory,
Fill the soul with glad surprise;
And we almost hear the echo
Of the pure and holy throng,
In the bright, the bright forever,
In the summer land of song.
Yet a little while we linger,
Ere we reach our journey's end;
Yet a little while of labor,
Ere the evening shades ...2 Recommendations5 CommentsThis was one of my son Jeremy's favorite songs. We put this song on his Memory DVD with his photos. I found what the lyrics mean & I have included it here as the last line. Jeremy.....you will never be forgotten & always loved.

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung,
Would you hear my voice come thru...

I have come to believe that is just part of my normal... and I know for many of you it is the same... but blessedly I believe that I am letting the joy outweigh the pain.. There was a time I would never have thought this day would c...1 Recommendation5 CommentsA friend of mine shared this poem with us today. The poem was written by a friend of her daughter McKayla's on the occassion of McKayla's 3rd year angel anniversary. I really feel like this poem is a gift to the world.

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side....1 Recommendation5 CommentsIt is Friday night and I feel depression approaching. Like an unwelcome wave it approaches to envelope me once again. The aches of being down creep out of my joints and the thought of just going to bed is not even appealing. The thought of another night with an uncertain morning. Another night of being in pain and the darkness of night. An overcast day has end...1 Recommendation3 Comments
