wave of lights 2009 Otober 15th...... 10/19/2009
Thank you to all who sent in there pictures. One candle can light up the world...... Add Comment A few things to get you to the next day... 10/18/2009
I wanted to blog tonight about a few things I do when I am having a rough day. I will take a hot bath, then I will have a good cry there is nothing wrong with a good ole cry let it out, even if you have to cry in the bathroom alone go and cry it out you will feel so much better getting it out then holding it in. I pick up the phone and call a good friend someone who really knows me and get lost in there life and issues...I also go and see my little one, I know this can be harder on some people , so I think if you make a place at home in your yard for your baby with wings it will be easier for you to visit and share your thoughts and day with them. Please remember WE are still mothers just in a different way, so talk to your baby, share your day with them. Also write about your day every night I still do this after almost ten years, I enjoy being able to see how far I have come in this journey, and what has helped me find peace with losing Kat( my butterfly). I also wanted to thank all that have sent me pictures of their candles, I am going to start working on the slide show. I will email a link to all of you when it is done.Please know I am here when ever needed. And I ask how was your day????? Be well with love, Candi Light your candles @ 7 pm tonight 10/15/2009

PRAYING FOR BABY 10/14/2009
Today I asks everyone to stop and say a pray for a friend of mine, Stephanie today she will say goodbye to her little baby, We have all been there and know her pain. Dear Stephanie, I am so sorry for your loss I just hope that you can remain strong and please know that I am praying for you and I am here if you need anything, even if it is just a friend to talk to. God bless Be well with love, Candi When you lose someone you love, it will seem like grief has total control of you. The road to true healing is a tough one and there are no rules when it comes to healing your grief. Most days you’ll wonder if you will ever feel good again. Early morning and late evening are often the hardest. The good news is that you can get to a place of peace, healing, and even happiness after you have lost a loved one.Give yourself a lot of space. When you lose someone you love, parts of you go crazy. Your emotions go on a rollercoaster. Let them go crazy. Cry when you need to cry, laugh if you share a funny memory. Listen to your body and let your emotions take you where you are.Let the people around you know what you need. If you want visitors, say visitors are okay; if not, post a note outside your door asking people to come back another time. It can be helpful to leave a paper outside so people can leave notes for you saying they’ve stopped by. In the first few hours or days of a loss, it is helpful to ask someone to man the phones and take messages. You may want to have someone leave a message on the answering machine explaining that there has been a death in the family and that you will return phone calls when you can. If you need to be touched, ask for it, if you’d like space, ask for it. During times of loss, people are often at a loss of what to do for the one grieving. Know that you are most likely going to want different things each day—sometimes each hour, and that is okay; it’s part of the process. CommunicateA counselor you respect or feel comfortable with can be invaluable. He or she is your partner in grief. One of their jobs is to give you a safe place to just grieve, where no one expects or demands anything of you. They can help you decide the steps that will begin your healing and the timing of them. Medication may be helpful for sleep problems or to prevent grief from turning into severe depression. A therapist can help you sift through the choices, and decide what’s right for you. Maybe most importantly, a therapist can help you understand that your thoughts and feelings are not wrong, or crazy, and that you will survive them. Let them and others in as much as you can. There are also many support groups that meet the different needs of different kinds of loss. Losing someone you love is the hardest thing to experience in the world. Grief needs to be distracted because it is so all-consuming. Try to allow yourself times of relief by doing something you enjoy…even laughter. Watch a movie, go on a picnic, listen to music…when you are ready, go back to work. Check in with yourself, see what feels okay. There is also something healing about trying new experiences when you are vulnerable because it can bring a form of diversity that helps you focus on something besides your pain. It won’t take away the pain away, but it will give your heart a break and give you a taste of peace amidst the storm. Let your self heal, at your own pace, feel what you are feeling and be true to yourself. Please remember I am always here if needed. And I ask how was your day???
