Happy Birthday  / Mom

Gene there is so much I want to say to you. But it is very hard right now. Just know that I love and miss you so very much. Your birthdays are pretty difficult because we were always planning what we were going to do for your birthday because you sure loved to celebrate them. LOL I miss you my angel, my friend, my protecter. My life has so changed without you here. You are forever in my heart. Lots of kisses and hugs to you and I also ask out dear Lord to give you a big birthday hug for me. Love you forever and ever. <3 <3 <3

Feeling Discouraged  / Angie (Mom)

"I thought I'd be done with this grieving by now.It takes so much work, and it's painful. It's so discouraging when those dark days come. Why can't I just be happy again?"

After months of grieving, with all its ups and downs, we may find ourselves feeling discourgaed at times. Experiencing the anguish and sorrow over and over again may have become tiring. It's natural to want to "be done," to move on and feel healed. We may wonder if we have been doing something wrong, or if there is something wrong with us. Yet, grieving cannot be so easily controlled. It is bigger than us, and a much longer process than we might think.

The storm of grief following death does last a long time. We may hope for calm and peaceful seas, yet in our hearts we know that a windy day or a raging storm may be around any corner. Our love for this special person means that we are forever bound to them. As time goes on we may have many more calm days than stormy, but we need to be aware that storms and windy days are a part of the natural cycle of life, not to be avoided but to be weathered.

"I can accept that my world has changed since my Gene died. I have changed, too. I can take pride in seeing that I have survived."

I love you and miss you so much my son. "Forever in my Heart"

My Sons Contributions to My Life  / Angie (Mom)

The presence of my son Gene enriched my own life. His sudden loss saddens me. Still, his unique contributions...the splendid music he created...continues to fill my life as I preserve his dreams, hopes and love. Though he is gone, all he gave and promised to give is held in my heart. I am grateful for the presence of my son Gene in my life. I will tenderly remember the splendid music he created just for me.

I miss you so much my Angel. "Forever in my Heart"

Being Thankful  / Angie (Mom)

In many ways, we all would have liked to wish our tragedy away, to never have felt the heartache of our loss. Yet which would we prefer: that they never lived, and therefore could not have died, or the path we are on now?

Most of us come to a place in our grief, sometimes very early, when we can feel thankful for the time we shared with our loved one. Their contributions to our life have been immeasurable, and although it can sometimes be hard to keep this in mind as we grieve, the experience of knowing and loving them is worth all the pain we must suffer.

"The pain of losing you Gene is great, but maybe the pain of never experiencing you might have been even worse".   Forever in my Heart, Mom
