Don’t Tell Yourself this Lie

October 25, 2017August 8, 2021Leave a comment

Aloha, We've all experienced some pretty incredible, heartbreaking pain.  We've gone through heavy stuff.  And hopefully are coming out of it stronger, wiser, and more whole hearted.   Inevitably when going through tough times we ask, "Why me?"  "Why did this happen?"  "Did I really deserve yet another burden?" "Why can't I catch a break?"...the … Continue reading Don’t Tell Yourself this Lie

Grappling with Owned Guilt

October 20, 2017August 8, 2021Leave a comment

Aloha, Okay, so yesterday I talked about the more universal guilt we 'borrow'.  This is the guilt we bereaved parents tend to adopt simply because our child died and we could've, should've been able to do something to stop it. Today I'm talking about the guilt we 'own'.  This is the guilt you carry for … Continue reading Grappling with Owned Guilt

Could’ve, Should’ve and Guilt.

Aloha, Your role as a parent.  Probably the biggest responsibility you'll take on in your lifetime.  And one of the most complex.  When children are infants, their lives literally depend on you. As they grow, your job slowly shifts from life protector to instructor, role model, nurturer, cheerleader, the list goes on.  So it's easy … Continue reading Could’ve, Should’ve and Guilt.

Is Happiness an Option?

October 16, 2017August 8, 2021Leave a comment

Aloha, I want to start by acknowledging losing a child is the MOST painful thing I've ever gone through (and I've been through plenty of stuff).  The first couple of years were a blur of simply putting one foot in front of the other to get through the day. But somewhere in the years between … Continue reading Is Happiness an Option?

It’s Worth the Work

October 12, 2017August 8, 2021Leave a comment

Aloha, While I would love for my dear sweet daughter Alison to still be with me on earth, I am happier now than I have ever been. I have tools to easily handle the trials of every day life, and frankly those trials don't ruffle me much. I don't sweat the small stuff. I've known … Continue reading It’s Worth the Work

Roughin it for a night…Don’t mind if I do, so lucky to score a room with a view😊! Well… Lei po’o = 🤷🏼‍♀️ listening to E O Mai and other such songs in the background =😊😭. Let’s see how this goes….trying to apply some of what I learned on the islands with some Portland beauty. 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽 Moving from warm paradise to a much cooler Pacific Northwest has its perks…who knew seeing that smile on Mom’s face in a dive bar playing pool on a Monday was one of them🤷🏼‍♀️😊. Love starting the mornings this way…good conversation, beautiful sunrises, and sometimes even good surfing. Your loss is valid...the emotions, feelings, experiences, regrets and the whole ball of wax that come with your loss is valid. When I reflect on my journey, here's how I experienced life following the death of my daughter. Since we'll be diggin into talking about grief and the many aspects of it this month, here are a couple of tools to access when you start to feel uncomfortable or overwhelmed. Whether you're grieving, supporting someone grieving, or follow me for any other reason...grief is part of the human experience.
