My Story


My mom and I have always been close, always had a special relationship. On September 2 I got a call that forever changed my life. My mom had collapsed at church and was being taken via ambulance to the hospital. A few hours later I got another call, this time my best friend telling me how serious things were. Within three hours my coworkers had me on a plane (at zero cost to me!) and by 6 pm that night I was at my mom's side.

After three days in the ICU it was determined that because of how long her brain had gone without oxygen, she likely wouldn't wake up. On September 5th we made the most difficult decision to let her go peacefully. It was something she had talked about so we were sure it was what she would have wanted us to do.

My wonderful mother passed peacefully on September 6 at 6:10 am. She is already missed so much.

This blog is my journey through the grieving process. Hopefully that will keep my regular daily blog a little less depressing.

On this blog I will share some of my daily grief emails and also songs, poems and pictures that touch my heart. Hopefully this will help someone, but if nothing else, it helps me.

He Is Hope For The Future

He is stronger than the struggle
Greater than the pain
Faithful through the loss
He is hope for the future
He is stronger than the lies
Greater than any man
Faithful through the crisis
He is hope for the future
He is stronger than the emotions
Greater than any discouragement
Faithful through the darkness
He is hope for the future
He is stronger than death
Greater than the past
Faithful through the present
He is hope for the future
He is strong enough for today
Greater than the doubts
Faithful in each of the moments
He is hope for today
Today, is the future dreamed of yesterday
He was there then, He is here now and He is already in the future
Hope is here.
