Welcome

These writings are a part of my healing process. That process began almost 4 years ago on Tuesday, April 23, 2013. That’s the night that my mother died and left this physical world to return to God in the spiritual world. I had no idea what a great impact her death would have on me and it is only recently that I have been able to understand that impact. My father died a year later on Monday, May 19, 2014 and my journey through the loneliness and emptiness that I felt only increased.

I am not sharing this for people to pity me or feel sorry for me. My experience is nothing new. Each of us will at some point in our lives have a loss that will shatter our perception of our world. I am sharing this to let all who are suffering through the grief of loss know that they are not alone. There is a light at the end of that tunnel. Although you may not see that light it is there none the less. I had to go through several different experiences of growth to see the light at the end of the tunnel that I was in.

I went to professional counseling and I went through group counseling . I also went through spiritual counseling. I learned how to pray so that i could speak with God and I learned how to meditate to quiet the noise inside my head so that I could hear God’s answers. I am a work in progress and I accept that. I don’t know all the answers and I don’t profess to, but I do know that God has led me through my pain and loneliness and I’m okay with it.

I’m not a doctor, I’m not a therapist and I’m not a counselor. I’m a person who has experienced the suffering and has searched for some answers and I have found an answer that has helped me. I share my experience so that you may see the love of God as he works through my life. If something that I share helps someone, then I have accomplished my goal. This blog, just like me, is a work in progress. Please see the message and not so much of the packaging. As time goes by we, the blog and I,  will both continue to grow.
