Thinking about something I Read
The other day I was watching Oprah: Life classes. I found it quite interesting.
A person on the show said. We all have a purpose, God calls us home when we are done here on Earth. If we are still here then we have a "Purpose". Does that mean, our loved one learned and completed the reasons for being here?
We are still here because we have more to learn, more to share?
Some are taken so suddenly, in an instant.. others have long illness, some short. Were they here in our lives to help us learn some of life's lessons. The pain is so intense, and then we learn to live.. with the hole, the emptiness, and finally learn we can move on. Here we share emotions openly, with people who understand the loss and pain. Through our WV Family we learn more of life's lessons, and become connected. Some are casual friends and some become very close to us. We learn through everyone.. that we are not alone in our pain, emptiness, and how to cope and have hope.
Death knows no age, has no boundries. We learned Love, caring,sharing, empathy for others no matter how long the person was in our life.. WE LOVED.
Love is a Gift, made memories for us.. touched our hearts. Now we are learning to cope and develop more life skills.
I'm here so I guess "God isn't finished with me yet" I have more to learn more to share.
I am so Greatful for Everyone here, to help me learn, to help me think, and to give me courage. I am Thankful for the Grief Group I went to, for the new friends I am making. To have something to look forward to, and for all who undersstand. Where I can be open and honest.
In the past I kept most of my emotions bottled up, sharng with only a very few...
I'm on my "new journey" but I am not alone.

Hugs Bonnie. I too kept my emotions bottled up but now I am learning to share them with a few dear friends. It is still hard for me sometimes to share my inner most thoughts with someone else.
I have a plaque that hangs on the stairway wall that says "Please be patient. God isn't finished with me yet." It is a comfort for me to know that I am not alone on this journey.
I am so thankful for all the wonderful WV family here and the freinds I have made along the way in traveling this journey.
Peace and Hope...
Janet

"Love is a Gift"...ahhhh. We were all so blessed to have experienced that. To add to that "Life is a Gift", too! Althought we may never understand "why's", I hope we can honor our loved one by wanting to experience the joy of "Life" again. We did not waste their "love" when we had it so we should not waste the "life" that is left for us.
I hope that your "new journey" will lead you to love, laughter and sunshine.

I don't understand it either.... My 6 yr old son died of cancer.. My dad died at 56..and John was 63 looking forward to retirement and so many things.... he was such a "people" person. He loved animals.. we have rescued dogs,cats and even a goat. he brought me a small squirrel that our cat had caught,.. I tried to help it.. but it didn't make it. he was kind and gentle.... The Why? I don't understand it either.

Honeys(puddin), I feel the same way. Dan worked with childremn, was an inspiration to so many and was incredibly beloved. Yet he only had 35 years n this earth. It makes no sense at all.

I cannot fathom that my Honey was done here on earth. It just doesn't compute in my head or my heart. I hear those words being spoken to me but it makes no sense to me. That's just me though.
