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)

"Breath of Heaven" Sung by Point of Grace

I have traveled
Many moonless nights
Cold and Weary
With a babe inside


And I wonder
What I've done
Holy Father
You have come


And chosen me now
To carry your son


I am waiting
in a silent prayer
I am frightened
by the load I bear


In a world as cold as stone
Must I walk this path alone
Be with me now
Be with me now


[chorus:]
Breath of Heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of Heaven


Breath of Heaven
Lighten my darkness
Pour over me, your holiness
For you are holy, Breath of Heaven


Do you wonder
As you watch my face
If a wiser one, should of had my place
But I offer...all I am


For the mercy-of your plan
Help me be strong


Help me be
Help me


[chorus]
