Celebrating a New Year doesn’t always make me feel very happy. For me, it is just another reminder that time is moving onward without the physical presence of my son.

Bittersweet means containing a mixture of sadness and happiness. Can you imagine getting to experience the magic of Christmas morning all the time when you are in Spirit!

The days leading up to a certain event or holiday are often far worse than the actual day itself. Remember to be gentle with yourself.

Gratitude and giving thanks for our loved ones in spirit, even if they left too soon, reminds us what a gift it was to have them in our lives.

Our loved ones are not lost. We are, until we can find them again in Spirit.

When something we are having a hard time with malfunctions, we know it’s time to give it a second to come back online. This can happen to us as well.

We really can’t plan everything to always go the way we want it to. The only thing we can plan is planning on a change of plans.

Maybe when we wake up there someday, we will say, "oh wow, that life seemed so real!" What if this is the dream?

It can be so overwhelming when we think about the long road ahead we have to tread in our grief. But our loved ones can hold our hands gently to make the walk a little easier.

Working out increases strength and conditioning, and although it hurts, there is an upside to the hard work to make us stronger. Imagine your loved one is your own personal spiritual strength training coach.

Mending is putting something in working order again. I am putting the pieces of my life back together in a new way.

I will always celebrate him on his birthday and I know he will be extra close celebrating with me. Happy Birthday today, to my beautiful blue eyed boy!

The days leading up to the anniversary of our loved one’s passing can be filled with trepidation and anxiety. If you have a special day coming up, know you are not alone.

I’ve heard it said that “pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.” We get to decide how much this pain will cause us to suffer.

It is in the stillness of the mind, in between the thoughts and demands of your physical world that you may find the space to truly reconnect to your inner true self.

All hope is not lost. It just may feel this way when we are grieving.

We need to raise our vibration to meet them where they are vibrating. Doing at least one good thing for your soul each day can help.

You may wonder whether it was just a dream or a true dream visitation. Intention and patience can make a visitation happen.

Imagine every single grain of sand on the beach represents a single moment of our life. If we focus on just that one grain of sand, we miss the whole beach.

Maybe the purpose of the pain is to wake us up to the knowing we were not remembering before our lives were shattered and our hearts were broken open.
