That's what I've been telling people who ask how I'm doing - the things and times I LEAST expect it is when the grief hits . . . I'm so thankful that you (we) have this avenue called the internet to meet and mingle and find out that we're all "normal" in our own way and NOBODY's Grief Journey is the same as someone else's. Praying for you this week ♥sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03521953062352392129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838326545586391525.post-33504991632736909092012-01-31T21:57:38.449-05:002012-01-31T21:57:38.449-05:00Leah, I can so relate to your post today!

I fully understand your emotional response to the discovery of "the hole".<br /><br />Please tell us about the quilt that you and Amber spoke of. Will it be made from Chris' garments?<br /><br />I always look forward to and enjoy your entries. They always bless me! Thank you for sharing your life and your precious heart with us!Renee' B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18298547598684930937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838326545586391525.post-4605014546850220942012-01-30T21:56:45.023-05:002012-01-30T21:56:45.023-05:00Thanks for these beautiful words friend!

I remember even saving gum wrappers I found in her jeans pockets...I still haven't really changed her room from when she was here, other than to clean and neaten it. <br />Unhealthy? I'm sure some would say so, but each of us travels this journey of grief differently.<br />The anniversary of her death is this upcoming week...Feb.3rd. I've been doing a lot of remembering lately, lots of tears, but they are healing. <br />I look forward to the day when I will see her again, and I will treasure every joy while I wait. Grief does that, it heightens the joys we have.<br />Praying for you.<br />CarolCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06127929327948761501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838326545586391525.post-79218751638836493532012-01-29T20:18:44.485-05:002012-01-29T20:18:44.485-05:00Awwww....nothing is too small on the Grief Journey...Awwww....nothing is too small on the Grief Journey....love you...always praying for you!!!!Kandi Hampsonhttp://www.prints2prince.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
