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)

It's hard to believe we're at the end of July already!  Time has flown by lately and we're in the heat of the summer. 

The other day I spent a good part of the day mowing my little acre wondering how much longer can I keep this up?!  I have just enough strength and energy to mow the lawn, but the rest of the lawn care has fallen to the wayside.  The flowerbeds sorely need my attention.  What use to bring me joy, now has become some what a burden, or at least a reminder of what I'm neglecting.

I'm still seeking God's will and purpose for my life now.  I'm still waiting for the State to give me answers so I know how to proceed.  I'm so exhausted from living in limbo, and adjusting to my new state of being.  I would sure like to throw this weight off my shoulders.  I can.......and I do at times........   Then the next thing I know, I've picked it all back up, and I'm trying to carry it, all over again.

Lord, please show mercy and forgiveness!
