Let your inner Child of God help. Life in this world is not easy. When everything around us makes no sense, pray. It does not matter where you are or how eloquent your wording simply ask for help. I heard Dr. Wayne Dyer speak once as he explained so beautifully that when we open our hearts to allow a divine connection with God we are always in touch with the solutions we are seeking. Please read more of his thoughts here.
I enjoy listening to a variety of inspiration music. One of my favorites is Matthew West, Hello my name is… I hope you also will take a moment to listen to the entire song by clicking below. It also speaks of reaching beyond ourselves and connecting with The Divine Spirit that can lead us to a peace that surpasses all understanding.
1 John 3:1 Behold, What Love our Father has bestowed on us…..
With respect, hope, joy and love, Carmela

I admire your courage and spirit, and just wanted to let you know. I don’t know how you do it – my son died two years ago and I don’t see how I’ll ever, really, be okay. It’s such a mess; but I hold it together, somehow. It’s my daughter. She needs me. But me – I think if I could curl up on my couch and not go out, I’d do it. I guess things are just feeling really hard again. Your lightness is a wonder to me.

My heart goes out to you and your family. My heart is also heavy with chronic sorrow, however the sorrow I carry is for my own sadness and grief having to live my remaining days on earth without Wyatt. Wyatt lived his life with such a tremendous amount of courage and faith. He had experienced days of fear but in time he began to experience great peace and hope. Someone shared a book called “There Is A Party In Heaven” with Wyatt and it became his favorite book as well as a family favorite. It reminds me of a quote that I recently found. “What the caterpillar calls the end of the world the Master calls a butterfly”-Richard Bach. I truly believe although our loved ones no longer have need for their earthly bodies their spirits continue to live on and are with us. When we open our hearts and minds to our Divine connection with each loving memory, whisper of intuition, or quiet voice of guidance we continue to experience their loving presence. God is Love and the connection a mother has with her child is a Love that is Divine. Philip is at peace and also with you. Blessings to you and your family. With respect, hope, joy and peace, Carmela
