In 2007, I began my original website, Sonshine's Haven. In 2007, it was turned into a blog and used to keep family updated on my first husband's fight with liver cancer. He passed away November of 2009. We were married for 34+ wonderful years and this journals some of that grief process I've gone through.

I have since remarried another widower, but Mike is missed dearly, and will always be a big part of my life.

At times, all of us will be called to act as witnesses to the suffering of another. We will be unable to affect the outcome physically. Words will fail us. Prayer will seem futile. And yet, the act of bearing witness to someone else's trials is a sacred sorrow that offers and astounding glimpse of eternal joy." by Ginger Garrett

"Being willing to stay with a loved one throughout their travail, can be difficult....YES! But offering yourselves as faithful companions on a dark and dreadful journey can be an unmeasured blessing." (paraphrased by me)

Christmas with the McSheehys brought some new and exciting news...another Baby McSheehy is on the way! Congratulations to Matt and Jill! We had a good Christmas. My grandmother as well as my aunt and uncle were there as well as all of our immediate family. It was also an emotional one as expected. It was hard not to notice the absence of such a big presence in our lives, but we know that Dad had his own celebration too. How exciting that must have been! The loss is hitting my mom harder this week. Please remember her in your prayers. The reality is setting in more and it's been rough for her. Please pray for her as she makes adjustments and continues to deal with legal and financial decisions.

We hope you all had a Merry Christmas and that this new year will bring you many blessings!
