    It has been 3 yrs since Cancer took my precious baby Esperanza aka Peanut. I miss her everyday the empty space iny heart gets bigger & bigger. Does the pain ever go away. I have since her passing acquired several more babie’s. But my heart still aches for her.

    • Cherie, there is no time line for grief, and this time of year is especially difficult, bringing up memories of past holidays. I really hope you will allow yourself to remember the good times, the fun and funny times, to be happy for the years you and Peanut shared. We all have to leave one day, and knowing Peanut had a great life of love with you might bring you happiness if you let it. And you do have to allow yourself to feel happy – it can sometimes feel guilty to be happy with memories – but it doesn’t have to be that way. Peanut would want you remember her with joy and celebrate your lives, wouldn’t she? So Cherie, please let yourself be happy for the precious gift of your time together. And the time you have now with your other sweet babies. They are loving you too, now. Please let us know how you are coming along. I want to know that you are finding smiles with your memories of Peanut. {HUGS} Toni
