Living Like a Loved One; A Journey of Healing

I invite you to follow my day to day discoveries as I begin Living Like a Loved One, I lost my Uncle to cancer a year ago in late September. It's been a challenging healing process for the entire family, and I've decided that it doesn't have to be that difficult. During the next year, I will take the most special memories of my Uncle and bring them back to a reality in my day to day life. I hope this brings comfort and enlightenment to all who subscribe.

A Christmas In Heaven - Day 79 of 365

MEMORY -

I remember the morning that Pete's mother passed away. It was December 15th, 1995. We emotionally woke up to the phone call we were all dreading to get. It was early in the morning and still dark outside. I remember the Christmas Tree shining unusually bright as if each light let off a neon glow. We collected our things and headed out the door to the hospital. Grandma had been sick for some time and suffering a little more as the days went on. As much as it saddened us to hear the news, we were thankful she was no longer in a state of suffering but rather in a state of love. My Dad and Uncle Pete took it hard, as it was their last immediate family member to pass. The boys helped each other to cope with the loss and kept her memory alive every chance they would get.

APPLICATION -

It was 15 years today that Grandma entered the gates of Heaven.

REFLECTION -
