“‘What did I miss? Was there anything I could have said or done?’ I’ll never have an answer on this side of heaven from my loved one, but I want YOU to never have to ask that question to yours.”
“When you live with grief, you realize it’s not so much stages that you pass through over and over, it’s seasons. And I’ll tell you, these aren’t filled with pumpkin spice or a coconut breeze.”
“Our family of 6 lost our house, all of our possessions, our 2 vehicles, and our 4 precious cats.”
“Before her accident, I was still wet cement. While I am certain it’s solid now, she marked her little hand prints all over it. I feel her in the rainbows, butterflies, sunsets, laughter of our daughters. We will live each day to honor her as best as we can.”
“If you struggle with depression or addiction, there is hope. There is life after addiction and there can be recovery. Don’t travel the road alone.”
“I would read, ‘I’m sorry for your loss,’ and reply, ‘And I’m sorry for yours.’ The question, ‘How can you do that at the most devastating time of your life?’ was asked of me. I could not yet analyze any of the feelings swirling within me.”
“I’ll never forget my husband raising his hands in excitement and shouting, ‘I’m going to be a daddy!’ Never stop praying, never stop believing, never lose hope. Here I am living out my real life happily ever after.”
“I exist somewhere between a past I can’t reconcile with a future I don’t want to face. I see you in the stars and in the daisies that you send our way. Not a second goes by I don’t think of you.”
“If home is where the heart is, my heart will always be in my mom’s kitchen in Brooklyn. Now, when I want to feel close to her I cook and share her recipes from my kitchen in Los Angeles.”
“After a very quiet scan, the tech looked up at us and said, ‘Sorry, that took so long because…there are actually two babies!’ She turned the screen around and sure enough, two tiny little bubbles. It was a beautiful sight, our rainbow twins saying hello to us for the first time.”
