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)

I was searching for a pair of my jeans in my closet this morning, when I  became sidetracked and saw a pair of Mike's slacks, with his belt still looped through them.  The site paralyzed me and had me sitting in my closet for a while....long past searching for my jeans.  The pants were hanging there just as though Mike had just taken them off.  I was immobilized, trying to let my heart catch up with my mind.  Usually I would take the belt off and make sure the pants were ready to be worn again....but there I sat just looking at them....not wanting to change a thing.  Moments like these, have been my hurdles lately.

Thank you for your continued prayers.
