I spent today at my daughter’s funeral. No not literally . . . . let me explain. The past few years have taken me on some interesting twists and turns. The current roller coaster I am riding has presented me with the opportunity to write a book. The genre is Autobiographical Non-Fiction.
My writing day began as we left the hospital after Jamie had died. Ahead of us was the daunting task of informing our three young sons that their little sister had died. Jeremy, Justin and Joshua had been receiving reports of how well Jamie was doing for the past 10 days. The boys had been told about the healing miracles that we had witnessed. They knew that the doctor was very pleased with her progress. So not what? “Is there a correct way to crush your children’s world?” “How do I stay strong for my sons when my heart has been shattered?” “And what about this baby in my womb? How will I love her without feeling guilty?”
Waves of emotion have washed over me, through me, and knocked me on my face as I sifted through my memories today. “How can these feelings be so intense after all of these years?”
Not all of the emotion has been sad though. I’ve also been reminded of the immense outpouring of love we received physically and spiritually through this time. Writing this book is turning out to be an adventure that I am truly loving!
I know that all of you have your own story too. Those times when life came at you and you were not sure how you were going to make it . . . but you did!
I would love to hear any feedback you have for me.
Ask me any questions. Share your stories with me.
Let’s keep in touch, I am interested in how “you” made it through the storms in your life.
Please comment below and fill in your contact info. I look forward to our journey together!
Hugs,
Lynette
