On our first visit to the grief counselor, he suggested that we journal. \u00a0It could be a letter to our daughter, thoughts about our day, anything we wanted. \u00a0I decided my journal would be a blog. \u00a0To me if I spend the time writing the words instead of just thinking them, I truly need to know someone read them.<\/p>\n
Most of my posts will be in the middle of the night when I cannot sleep lost in the silence and my unbearable grief.<\/p>\n
The posts will have spelling mistakes, grammatical errors and possible a few swear words sprinkled in. \u00a0Some may not even make any sense.<\/p>\n
If anything I write offends you, stop reading.<\/p>\n
This my journey that I am choosing to share. \u00a0If it helps my friends have a better understanding of what I am facing, that would be great. \u00a0 If I end up helping another mom because something I say makes her feel less alone, that would be a huge accomplishment. \u00a0If some of what I write honors and spreads my daughter’s kindness, that would make me happy. \u00a0If this blog changes someone’s mind about organ donation, that would be the greatest gift.<\/p>\n
This blog is for me. \u00a0This is raw, this is personal. \u00a0In no way does it reflect any other person’s or organizations’s opinions. \u00a0Names may be changed, but you probably will know who you are in those stories.<\/p>\n
