A ‘Bless This Child’ mini-ornament by Serenity

Three copies of The Christmas Box by Richard Paul Evans. Originally written as an expression of love for his two daughters, the author never intended for it to be published. Many Christmas seasons later, this touching tale relates the meaning of Christmas in a profound but simple way. This book was the inspiration for the many angel statues around the country which are places to remember a child who has died.

oh how exciting. Can't wait to see if I win. Thank you
Hi Emily!!! It's Sonya from SHARE (myluv4flowers). I'm loving reading your new blog...thanks for sharing!
Something I found to make things easier: blogging, talking, and scrapbooking about my daughter *thanks to your great scrapbooking quotes!!* Also we participated in March for Babies and raised money in memory of our little angel- that helped a lot!
Finding a safe space where I could express myself honestly was what helped me the most. Art was (and continues to be) an incredible release for me.
Your site looks so beautiful Emily. Thank you again for including the sweet pea project. Hope today is gentle for you.
peace

I really LOVE the "Bless This Child" silver ornament. I always envision angels watching over my sweet son, B. W., sort of like the ornament depicts.
There are lots of ways (some good, some terrible) to cope with the absense of someone we love. For me, those things change as I reach different points in my grief process. Fundamentally, though, I will always need my husband and a couple of close, trustworthy other who will allow me to talk about my son, my grief, his absense - or even just say his name.
Though there are many poems/quotes that I simmer on, here is one from Mark Twain that helps me remember I am not crazy...
To die one's self is a thing that must be easy, & light of consequence;
But to lose a part of one's self--well, we know how deep that pang goes,
we who have suffered that disaster, received that wound which cannot heal...
It is one of the mysteries of our nature that a man,
all unprepared, can receive a thunder-stroke like that and live.
It will take mind and memory months
and possibly years
to gather together the details
and thus learn and know the whole extent of the loss.
Thank you for your blogs.
I really appreciate them
More than words can say.

Thank you for sharing your blog with us. The most important thing that helped me through was talking about my daughter. People didn't want to in fear of hurting me but I wanted to!! Wishing that more people would mention her name. It brings a lil tear to my eye and a lil smile on my face to hear people speak her name. I LOVE your site!! And the angel ornaments are BEAUTIFUL!!
