There has been so much, so many lost in the last few months, it really tears up our hearts. I found the following to be very helpful though.

It helped me to heal when I lost my 17 yr. old daughter. Each day will get the tiniest bit better until one day you are left with only the good memories and very little pain left in your heart.

Matthew 5:4<br /><br />Oh Jan, my heart hurts for you. I shall say a prayer for you. Grief is such a very difficult things...especially when it involves a very beloved and special person in our lives.<br /><br />Quilting is very therapeutic. In fact, it's why I got into quilting. When our son Ethan (he was 7) passed way in 2010, I had to take up a hobby. Though I don't quilt as much as I'd like to--time doesn't allow with homeschooling our other precious son--it's a very productive and wonderful hobby.<br /><br />I LOVE that quilt! And I can understand being ready for spring. The hope that the sunshine and spring wildflowers bring are like none other!
