A Precious Gift--Never Forget Janessa & Hope Abigail

The mention of my daughter's name may bring tears to my eyes, but it never fails to bring music to my ears. If you really want to show me that you care, let me hear the beautiful music of her name. It soothes my broken heart and sings to my soul.

"If you know someone who has lost a child, and you're afraid to mention them because you think you might make them sad by reminding them that they died--you're not reminding them. They didn't forget they died.

What you're reminding them of is that you remembered that they lived, and that is a great gift."

My Grief Journey--Year 2 of My Life Without Janessa

I'm really excited to finally have a blog up in honor of my angel baby, Janessa. I have had a hard time since we passed her 1st Angel Birthday. I guess I expected myself to just be instantly cured and that I wouldn't be sad anymore and I'm disappointed that I am still crying 1 year later. I've discovered that there is no instant cure for grief. It is a journey you take 1 day at a time. I have also discovered that it truly brings me joy to reach out to other Mommy of Angels and that is why I created this blog. As I place those pinwheels in Janessa's Pinwheel Garden in honor of your angel babies or angel children please know that my heart weeps with yours and I hope that this will give you a small moment

of hope and peace.

HUGS,

Shauna

Calms the Storm . . .

At times there appears to be no light at the tunnel's end-no dawn to break the night's darkness. . .We feel abandoned, heartbroken, alone. If you find yourself in such a situation, I plead with you to turn to our Heavenly Father in faith. He will lift you and guide you. He will not always take your afflictions from you, but He will comfort and lead you with love through whatever storm you face.

-President Thomas S. Monson

We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
