Widowed Village

A community of peers created by the Soaring Spirits Loss Foundation

This morning was starting off beautifully...until the mail came in. I received letters that did not offer great news (won't go into it); I ran out of the apartment in tears. Sobbing, I looked at the heavens and asked God for help. For Him to guide me. I also asked for Him to bring John to me either by a hug or a flap of a wing. See at the burial a hawk was at the service and didn't leave until it was over. During my ride to Florida whenever I looked out and saw a hawk I knew it was him and the same happened at the balloon release.

It happened.

Wings spread wide, the bird appeared, circling above me three times. I almost passed out with joy. I exclaimed my thanks and held the image tight in my mind, holding onto the nearest column for support. I returned into the apartment and handled the business at hand.

This may seem hokey but to me it meant the world to me. My life is in God's hands, I have faith that with Him I can do this.

God is always there with you even when you feel that nothing can go right. You are right to hand all your worries over to him and ask him to lead and guide you through. He has never let me down. Keep your eye on the hawk girly.

Well this just touched my heart when I read this. Many experiences have happened similar to this during my first year. I think it's a wonderful message to help you look up and have hope instead of hanging your head down in despair. Look what this did for you! It was enough to give you the strenght to handle whatever it was that sent you outside looking for help from above!

Big Old Hugs to you Emy!!!!
