Thankful and grieving
My husband, sweet angel, and I spent three beautiful Thanksgiving Days together. Each bittersweet, as we had to make tough decisions about the health of our sweet, fragile baby, that alienated the very people who offered us love and support throughout his short life. But we did what we thought was best, and as I … Continue reading Thankful and grieving
What we can handle
I had a conversation this past week with an associate I've known for years. He and I have worked together in some capacity for over a decade though we've never really talked outside of the professional arena. We went on a team-building exercise to an escape room, where everyone has to work together to collect … Continue reading What we can handle
A hello from the Heavens
I picked my little angel on Earth up from daycare this afternoon and asked him if he wanted to go to the store with me. I had several errands to run as we are having a little belated birthday celebration for him tomorrow. He happily said yes and we drove to the local supermarket. As … Continue reading A hello from the Heavens
All I had to do was ask
Yesterday, I asked my sweet angel in Heaven if he could hear me. I get signs from him all the time. Things I see, hear, experience in my every day life that let me know my sweet boy is still with me.

With a little faith
I don't write to express political beliefs or comment on the state of our nation. I do it for me, to heal, to convince myself that I am ok, and that this wonderful life can continue even after tragedy. But this last month has been really tough. Tough for a lot of people in many … Continue reading With a little faith
A common theme
It's no secret that I am a grieving mother, struggling every day to balance a busy life while remembering my sweet angel in Heaven. That struggle has been tougher this week as I've had longer, harder, busier days. My angel on earth has tested me a little more and is showing his independence in new … Continue reading A common theme
The weight of it
In the last two months I've lost almost 15 pounds, but I feel heavier than I have in many years. The weight of responsibility in a world where I am now in control of my body, my emotions, my feelings, my little family, is absolutely, terrifyingly suffocating. The world that consumed me just months ago … Continue reading The weight of it
