Day 27 was supposed to be artwork. This is a combination of a few “art” pieces. The left is the prayer flag I sent for Carly’s
Beachside October 15th ceremony and the middle is a luminary I made
for Avery for a Beachside October 15th ceremony. One of
my favorite “art” pieces we have for Avery is her “A;” made by one of my
amazing friends before Avery was born.
She designed the letter to match Avery’s bedroom theme perfectly. It is one of my favorite pieces in her room
and it means a lot that one of my friends spent so much time to make it so perfect
for Avery. The bottom right is a piece I
just recently received by another great friend who often leaves presents for us
at Avery’s graveside. It is a pink
butterfly with her name in the middle.
It is super cute and most importantly, it makes me feel good that people
still think about Avery and bring her gifts.
Day 28 was supposed to be a memory of your grief journey so
far. I chose to highlight a memory that
was a positive memory from this journey.
I’ve been on the journey for 20 weeks and mostly have negative memories. I am really trying to focus more on the good
than the bad so I picked probably one of the best nights I have had in the past
20 weeks. This picture is from the
beachside luminary October 15th event I attended hosted by Elizabeth
Ministries of Melbourne. While the event
was emotionally draining, it was amazing to be surrounded by so many amazing
families who are traveling this grief road with us. Some were further in their journey while
others were newer to it than me. But it
was so comforting to hear their stories, to see that many have found some peace
and comfort and that they all are still standing. It was an amazing evening and I am very
thankful to have met these amazing people.
