A Faith-Shaped Hole in My Heart
Faith-Shaped Hole This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my Disclosure for more information. I will always have a Faith-Shaped hole in my heart. For those of you who have lost a child(ren), you know what I mean. For those of you who haven’t, please allow me to explain. Earlier this evening, my husband, our daughter Joy, and I were hanging out in the bedroom watching a Christmas movie. We talked about Faith and how she would be laying right next to Joy in the bed with us if she were here. It was a very difficult moment for both of us. I know we will always have a…

Capture Your Grief – Day 13 – Regrets + Triggers
Today’s Capture Your Grief topic is Regrets + Triggers. I don’t know of any regrets that I have as far as my grief journey.

I don’t think I will ever forget the amazing feeling I had when I saw the positive pregnancy test. I am still so in love with our daughter, actually, more every…

Capture Your Grief – Day 13 – Season
Today’s Capture Your Grief project prompt is Season. I guess I really haven’t thought too much about a certain season reminding me of Faith. Although, when I took a moment to do so, it didn’t take me long to decide which season/seasons that would be. I have to say that the season/seasons that remind me the most of Faith are fall/winter. We found out that I was pregnant the day before Thanksgiving last year. Over Thanksgiving time, we went into downtown Seattle to go to see the Nutcracker and to Oliver. On one of these evenings, I took this picture of a beautiful star that was on one of the buildings, as they…
