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)

A Day With Alyssa

Sunday, I was blessed with a full day of holding and loving on Alyssa, my newest grandbaby.  She, and her cousin on the way, "Emma", have been a kiss from heaven.  In a year of so much anguish, sadness and questions; God sent us a blessing by adding these two little angels to our family.  The loss is still enormous, and the grief is still being worked through, but one look at these little girls faces reminds us that God is Sovereign.  He loves us deeply.  And He will see us through all of this suffering, with our family still intact.
