I read all your face-book messages and have watched as you and your beautiful daughter try to recover from this tragic loss. I've never replied until now b/c I am at a total loss for words but I do want you to know that you are a wonderful mother to that little girl and that your writtings are so inspirational to anyone going through any kind of difficult time in their lives. God has blessed you with a strength and courage that we seldom find at times like this. You have what it takes to teach and show Lily just what life is all about. Time is the greatest healer. God bless you both. Dear Lisa ~ You don’t know me but I’ve come to know you and Lily quite well through a mutual friend, Valerie Scheidt.

Those eyes have been so sad lately, it really is hard to bear. I hope she shares more with me too. Those eyes have been so sad lately, it really is hard to bear.

And I'm glad she's starting to talk. But it makes me so sad to see her so unhappy, and that sad little smile broke my heart. L Yes, time helps. And I’m glad she’s starting to talk.

And I get a lot of great feedback and support from everyone. I really count on it, and I appreciate it too. I don't feel as alone. Love, Lisa Thanks Rachel,

She is so lucky to have you and others in her life to bolster her up. I agree, your dad dying is probably a big part of her problem. I hope she continues to get better. Love, Lisa Sharon,

Some people used to tell me that time healed everything, I don't know about that?? I think time allows us to find our own way of finding what works for us. To say it heals everything, not so sure. God heals and as I was telling my mom last night as I smelled my Dad's PJ's that she had so lovingly put in a drawer in her bathroom and takes out from time to time to smell (my Dad died 4 years ago and had been married 49 years) that, I found that you don't get over the death of a loved one so much as finding a place for the pain. It is a place so special and personal and just yours, but it is a place for you to grieve, love, laugh, and heal..one day at a time. Lisa you and Lily will find your places, each of you will have a place and even a special place that you can share together. You have been in my prayers for some time now and will remain there. My mother's health is failing and I have been at her house now for weeks. I just don't want her to be alone. One of the reason her health is failing is that she is growing older, the other is that she has been depressed and grieving. She shut everything out and pretended that everything was just fine, always tells everyone that she is just fine, and never, I do mean never visits the cemetery. We have been with her for three weeks now and she is doing much better, feeling better, color back in her face, able to walk again (she could not stand up), she is eating and drinking again. Please keep us in your prayer too! I would appreciate it. God Bless you Lisa and thank you for your blog. You have touched so many of us with your eloquent writing and sharing your most personal feelings of grief and sorrow. Sincerely, Sharon Jeannie I love you so much and yes you are so right, time, it takes time. Some people used to tell me that time healed everything, I don’t know about that??
