Welcome to Bridge To Healing -- Connecting Heart to Soul

Losing someone you love is never an easy road to travel.  Having that loss be  your child adds unimaginable dimensions to the  pain.  The denial and incomprehension of such an unnatural event can sweep you off your feet, carrying you out  into a deep, dark ocean with no raft, no lifeboat, no life vest...then as the  waves of grief force you underwater and you gasp for breath, all you can scream is "WHY?"

 When my J.T. passed on March 30, 2007, I was thrown into "the pit" of grief.  It was difficult to navigate and impossible to climb out on my own.  I used all my resources to help machete my way through the wilderness in which I was trapped.

We were so very blessed to have a support system which held  us up when we physically were not able to do so on our own.  It is through this support and love that something amazing happened.

 I realized there were two ways I could traverse this wilderness.  One was to wander aimlessly, feeling trapped, used, abandoned, victimized and broken.  The  other was to open my heart to the pain and grief,  like lancing an abscess to clear the infection.  I felt my heart was certainly infected -- infected with a terminal condition from  which I knew there was no cure.

Through this vulnerability, though, I discovered two very important aspects of myself.  The first one was a call to help other parents who are also traveling this harsh road.

The second aspect was a tremendous gift from God, unlike any other I could have ever imagined...the ability to hear my son on the other side!

These two paths each offer so much healing for me, as well as the chance to be of service to others grieving.  Since there are so many aspects to life and death, I have a unique opportunity to teach others about LIFE on the other side, and about living life here, which is absolutely the reason we are here in the first place!
