I've been following Katie's story for a long time now...praying for her, you and your family. You are right where God wants you right now... not at some "job"...but right where he wants you. To everything there is a season. You are in the season you need to be. May God bless you and your family.

I think Katie would be truly delighted that you did that!<BR/><BR/>People have a driving need for our grief to be over. It is uncomfortable. Its a reminder of mortality, which most people ignore and pretend just doesn't exist. Perhaps subconsciously they want you to return to work so they have something else to talk to you about and so they can assure themselves that Katie's death is over and everyone is "moving on". Nobody but those who have shared in this kind of a loss can understand there IS no moving on from this. There is only rebuilding, and that takes a ton of time. We are reshaped. The anger you are feeling is part of that process. Its not like you but it is very much part of you. You are doing so well to not feel guilty for the anger. It is appropriate and valid.<BR/><BR/>Much love, SheriSherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523200407409657856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994832747844483996.post-70352660215707452092008-03-04T06:34:00.000-08:002008-03-04T06:34:00.000-08:00I check your blog daily and have commented a few t...I check your blog daily and have commented a few times. I almost feel like I'm intruding, your writing is so honest and raw. I admire your strength. I admire Katie's as well. I look at her pictures and weep because the world has lost such a bright light. She always has such a beautiful smile.<BR/><BR/>I lost my mom about a year ago to cancer so when you were writing about the tradition of passing jewelry down it really struck a nerve. My mom made everything so special and that was one thing she loved to do. As a single parent to a little girl, I hope I'm able to carry that tradition.<BR/><BR/>Thank you, as always, for you honesty and sharing your journey.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11857601044029150508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994832747844483996.post-53514358657660609332008-03-03T23:20:00.000-08:002008-03-03T23:20:00.000-08:00I belieeve that you are doing wonderful with all t...I belieeve that you are doing wonderful with all that you have to cope with as an individual as well as helping your family as a whole cope with this giant void that is now in your lives. Many would consider that a full time job...I would. <BR/><BR/>It seems that so mandy people say things because they just aren't sure what else to say and sometimes we can cope with it no problem and other times it hits a nerve.<BR/><BR/>You are working so hard and everyone should be able to see that. You can't physically hold on to Katie anymore, but you sure are doing a great job at preserving her memory and honoring her wishes.<BR/><BR/>Sending hugs, Karlapysanki.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16983697204378310519noreply@blogger.com
