Hello Colorcrazy.  I like your handle, but I’ll call you CC for short ok?

My handle is eKim and after losing my father, mother and sister have found myself volunteering here at CVH helping others on their Journey of Healing.

I am sad for you, CC for what you are going through.  I cannot imagine how difficult it must be.  All I can say is that the universe is full of compassionate companions to help you on your path.  Either they will see your little light shining, or you will see theirs. 

You said that you have no “family”.  Well then, welcome here to the virtualhospice family.  We will be your “family” as long as you need us, CC.

No one here will offer solutions – only you will find yours, for yourself.  You will be offered kindness, lovingkindness.  And I hope it helps.

I cannot express myself better than Katherine did.  She is so eloquent, and everything she said makes sense to me.

Every person, every Journey of Healing is different – we’re just like snowflakes.  Katherine’s “cotton balls” analogy is very good.  I can’t think of anything else to say, so I looked in my collection of quotes and found this.  I hope it helps:

“Surely silence can sometimes be the most eloquent reply.”  - Ali Ibn Thalib

What comes to you in the silence of your heart, CC?

Sending lovingkindness and peace to you CC.

Consider a bird in a tree on a branch. It does not worry about the branch breaking because it believes in its own wings. You have wings of strength courage insight and more. You can fly over it all and carry those memories with you and the love you shared.

It is within that freedom to experience the loss, the grief ,and memories of love is where we find those feelings and emotions that are so important. So important for us to be at one with our loss and embrace all the love we've experienced, have, and are learning as we move forward on our grief journey.
