Capture Your Grief - Day 29 - (WHY?) What Heals You?

I really like today's Capture Your Grief topic.  The topic is What Heals You?.  You can read the history of this topic on Carly's site in the link above.  I have done the Whys and What Ifs many many times since Faith died.  I may still every now and then.  However, Carly's idea of focusing her energy on What Heals You? instead is a great idea!

The bottom line is I can't change that Faith is gone.  THIS is what happened.  So today, in my thinking about this topic, I came up with many things that heal me...

The Lord has been with me through every moment of losing Faith and quite frankly every moment of my life.  He is ALWAYS there for me.  He heals me in every way a person can be healed...mind, body, soul, and spirit.

Owen and Joy heal me.  Spending time with them together has quickly become one of my MOST favorite times of every day!  I love watching them together and how happy each one makes the other.  It is so beautiful to watch my daughter with her daddy!

Blogging and writing heals me.  I enjoy sharing my story and feelings.  I enjoy both blogging and writing in my journals.  Both things are healing to me in different ways.  I feel as though I can share and help others by blogging.  Writing in my journals helps me to talk to Faith and also with Joy.

Making jewelry heals me.  I have been enjoying making jewelry so very much.  I just created my first piece in my new Faith & Joy line the other day and am going to be finishing up my next piece here in a little bit after I finish this blog post!  I am very excited about this bracelet!

So today, instead of asking why, or following up your asking why, focus on What Heals You!

A New Year With Faith - Thankful

As I begin the new year, this year, I am thinking of all the things I have that I am thankful for.  I have so much to be thankful for: a wonderful husband, great family, nice friends, a warm place to lay my head, food to eat, and so much more...

I am sure some of you already know by now, that I am now pregnant with our second child.  While I am thankful for and very thrilled by this, I am also scared.  Many emotions come into play for me, some of which I have not experienced, and could not have experienced had I not lost Faith. You can only know these feelings if you have experienced this type of loss.

I know The Lord is with me every step of the way.  For that, I am MOST thankful.  I also believe very much that while Faith is not with us in body, that she is with us in spirit and watching over her new young sister or brother.

What are you thankful for this year?
