Brenda

Brenda, I am glad you are here with us. I am so very sorry. But, while sympathy can help let you know someone cares, it may not lift the grief. When grief has engulfed you, you are in it’s control. Hence your feeling of “exisitng” rather than living. If you can create a memorial, you can place your memories of the lives you shared in it – all the happy and sad times – and know it is always there for you to comeback to. A memorial can be a box of favorite items, a place in your home or yard, we have a special area for memorials here in our community. No matter how you memorialize, it helps to give your grief a home away from you. This is not a replacement of your memories. You will always remember him, but it can open the door for you to allow joy and love back into your life. If you feel guilty thinking of being happy, ask yourself this: If the roles were reversed, wouldn’t you want him to enjoy the rest of the life he has ahead? I’ve written a poem I hope lends you some comfort that I will share, but want you to stay in touch with us, Brenda. We really do care.

We are all Angels
But now I have wings
We play in the clouds, and everyone sings
So don’t be unhappy, I’m always above
To shelter and guide you
And send you my Love
