  1. Feelings of Peace

    It has been almost 2 weeks since we put Sienna in her mausoleum drawer. it was an extremely emotionally difficult day but with it has come unexpected peace in my heart. I know she is where she needs to be and I'm surprised at how I am doing. I actually feel good. They allowed me to place her in the crypt instead of taking her from me. Usually they don't allow family members back there while they are sealing up the crypt, but they allowed me and my husband to lay her in there and place the letters ...

  2. A Thousand Years

    Heart beats fast
    Colors and promises
    How to be brave
    How can i love

    i'll love you for a thousand more

    time stands still
    beauty in all she is
    i will be brave
    i will not let anything
    ...

Why did this happen to ...

  4. Burial Tomorrow

    It's a terrible day, I've cried most of it....thinking that it's the last day my little girl will be here at home, the last night she'll spend here with us. She will be going to Lincoln Memorial tomorrow for her service and be put in her drawer. There will be many pink roses laid there for her. I called the priest today and told him the entire story of Sienna and what happened to her because I needed him to know. I felt better after telling him everything. He is such a wonderful priest. He ...

The first month was such a blur......i was in another place with everything i did...the last month now has cleared and with it becoming so real are coming with some awful grieving. One second i'm completely ...
