Day 15: Wave of Light

Today's words are Wave of Light.  Jeff and I lit this candle tonight in honor of Emma Dean.  I also dedicate this candle to the people we know who have suffered similar losses.  This day has been interesting for me.  It's amazing how my heart has felt simultaneously heavy and light.  It is heavy for all of the loss that I am now aware of, for how atrocious this year was (full disclosure, at some points this year I wanted to drink bleach - fine, maybe just drink).  It is lightened by the love and support we have received and the friends we have made as we've gone through this loss.  How blessed we are to have such wonderful people in our lives!

When this flame is extinguished tonight, I hope that the bad energy of this year disappears into the ether with the smoke.  Too many of us have had heartache and sorrow this year, and I am filled with hope that this night will be a turning point.

  1. Hi, I found your blog on Sisterhood of Loss & Support, mainly because I was drawn to the name. I lost my daughter Emma at 21 Weeks in June as well. Just wanted to tell you how sorry I am for you, you are not alone...
