Here I Am Again
Hello SOTH - here I am again feeling the need to write and just know that you all are out there. I'm just feeling lonely tonite thinking of my daughter. I know one baby step at a time, one breath at a time but it seems like that even takes too much effort tonight. I'm going to take a shower and go to bed because the sun will be out tomorrow and I pray I feel a little lighter.
You all are so wonderful in what you comment, not only on my journal but in reading other friends journals, I get such comfort. Thank you so much. ((hugs)) Vicki

Vicki, I have needed the comfort of my soths lately too and their words are here, so they appear one by one. Breath to breath. Baby step to baby step. Hand in hand. Heart to heart. This place is very special to me too.
Hugs, Leda
Dear Vicki - we are here for one another.
I hope you have a good sleep and tomorrow is a better day.
Love and hugs,
Marlene
Here\'s to better days!!!

Good morning! I certainly hope that the sun is shining where you are! I can see it here in Maine just coming up over the horizon, and I am sharing it with you in my heart. It is still so new for us, and the waves are high still. Please allow yourself the moments you need to feel the lonely as well as the fullness of the people that care. I am one of them. Love and prayers, Lauri
Hand in hand and Heart to heart we stumble, fall and get back up again to a new day. Hoping that this new day will bring you a pocket full of peace and the healing that is sorely needed. Be patient with yourself and know that even in those moments you doubt it the most that healing is happening. Just like roots that have to grow underground silently for quite a while before those first shoots and buds of spring emerge... This is your healing path now too. You will emerge and in the fullness of time when you are ready.
Loving care,
XO Joanie
Sweet sister...you have given me so much encouragement. I feel totally inadequate to offer encouragement but I will try. I KNOW that feeling...the sad, quite, resigned ...sometimes I thing the raging grief is easier to deal with because, for me anyway, it leaves you exhausted and with the feeling you have purged some of the pain, even temporarily. It all passes...every moment...sadly, even the happy moments...I am so, so sorry...I am sorry for all of our losses...I don\'t even know you but I love you...it\'s one of the gifts emerging in me...more compassion, more empathy, more love. I can never repay my sisters here for all the support I have been given...but if we have to welcome a new sister, I will have so much to share, I have learned so much, even in this short period of time. That\'s what life is supposed to be about, I believe...just sad we came upon this support under our conditions.
Once again Thank You SOTH--getting ready to go to work and grateful that I am able to do it! There are so many students that I see on a daily basis that struggle with their thoughts, home life, etc. and I sometimes don\'t know what to say to them but I can smile, love them and pray for them. I pray for all of you and am so so grateful to each of you. I love the thought of having your hand in mine walking through this journey. ((hugs)) and much love to all of you today! Vicki

Keep your chin up Vickie, we are all here. As for your students they just may want an ear and not a mouth full..
Be gentle on yourself it does take time.
