A Letter to a Friend
Thank you Jane for your kind words.
My daughter is receiving excellent grief counseling. She is a
psychologist herself and has friends in the field who have pointed her
to excellent therapists.
I am relying on some very dear friends (some of them here) and my faith
in God.
Yesterday I took communion to two Catholic residents who reside in the
the nursing home where my Mother stayed. The nurses and the residents
whom I have come to love and know received me with such love and
compassion that I found a great deal of healing there.
I know that all little girls are beautiful and wonderful so I realize
that I am bias when I make the claim that Danielle is special. I have
taken a great deal of comfort realizing that my mother somehow knew that
she was needed somewhere else and that she and Danielle are together.
This is more than wishful thinking on my part. My mother lived with my
daughter and Danielle for five years before coming to Colorado to be
near me. They were very close.
I don't know what the connection is between life here on Earth and the
soul's journey when leaving this Earth. A niece of mine believes, and I
think she may be right, that for God there is no time or space. That our
perception of time and space does not allow us the ability to recognize
and know the presence of those whom we have loved and have died but in
some mysterious way the physical and spiritual are tied together.
This to me is the Mystery of Christ being True Man and True God. I find
comfort in that belief. For believing that, frees me to know that all of
creation is one and that there is a purpose for each and everyone of us.
Danielle's life was all to brief but she had a mission and a purpose and
when that purpose was completed her guardian angel protected her from
great suffering and pain as she made her way back to Mary's arms.
This is how I deal with grief. I talk and talk and talk. Thanks for
listening.
