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 is a new year and a fresh beginning.  I thought I'd begin this new year out by explaining my other blog, "May You Dance With Fireflies."  This blog was created to be a continuation of my grief journey. 

See, life still isn't the same for me.  There have been so many changes in my life, so many failed attempts, that most days all I can celebrate....
is sitting up and putting my shoes on.

But I want to dance again.  Mike would want me to dance again. 
It just isn't coming to me easily.

The love I shared with Mike was a once in a lifetime kind of love, and I was so blessed to have it for so many years.  But it's hard not to keep looking back, longing for it, and move forward too.

So at times, you may see a link to this other blog of mine on this page, that will share that personal journey. 

On the "Sonshine's Haven" blog, I intend to bring some wonderful links to things I have uncovered that I thought might be a blessing to some of you too.

It's a fresh new year and it's time to dance!
