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."

You Don't Have to Be Like Everyone Else

I discovered something this weekend. I did something I didn't think I could do that everyone else said brought them peace and healing. It didn't bring me the peace and healing and joy and happiness I thought it would. At first I felt terrible, like there must be something wrong with me because it worked for everyone else. I was emotionally beating myself up because this common thing didn't work for me. Then I realized that it's okay that I didn't find peace and healing, I find it through different things that maybe others wouldn't find peace and healing through.

That's the thing with grief, it is different for everyone. We go through similar feelings, but, things affect each one of us differently and that is okay. Things that work for others to bring them peace and healing doesn't mean it will work for all of us. Each of us find the peace, healing, comfort, happiness, and joy through different things and that is okay. I guess I just wanted to share this if you read through things on my blog or others blogs of things they have done and then when you tried it and it didn't work the same way. Don't get discouraged, don't get frustrated, don't think that there must be something wrong with you like I did this weekend.

Heavenly Father knows what will work to bring you those peaceful, healing feelings and He will guide you towards those things. We all share in this sisterhood of grief, but, we are all different, we all grieve differently, we all find peace and healing differently and that is OKAY! :)

Hugs,

Shauna -- I'm so glad you posted this... I was thinking about writing something similar about how we all grieve and heal differently, because I've been thinking about it a lot recently. I feel like we all understand each other's pain and can definitely empathize with one another, but coping, grieving & healing are so individual. Some days I can't find anything that helps me, and I think that's okay too :)

Be Still and Know that I am God

Sometimes God
Calms the Storm . . .
Sometimes He let's the Storm rage
and Calms His Child.

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.
