Oh Seanie! I feel like a piece of me died when you died. Work has kept me distracted this week but I am not okay. I keep thinking of that night and the sadness/hopelessness you must have felt to make the decision to end your life. What happened that night? Why that night compared to all the other ones you suffered? Why didn't you call me? Why didn't I know how much you were struggling? I kept telling my patients how well you were doing. How proud I was of you. Today marks two weeks that you chose the path you chose. Two weeks ago that my life forever changed. The tears, the prayers, the anger, the acceptance, the decisions, and now my shattered heart. Your suffering has ended and that brings me a little peace. I had a dream about you. Was it you? Did He allow you to come to me so I would know you were okay? You were happy and definitely You! The conversation we had was not Facebook appropriate but I knew it was you 😝 You gave me every grey hair on my head. I worried about you every single day. I prayed for your happiness and wellbeing daily. I prayed for protection from the enemy daily. I did so much work to kick the enemy to the side. He couldn't pe*****te into my life very easily. I built an armor of protection around my body/soul and around my home. I prayed for that same protection for you. I know you tried at times to rebuke the demons that had a hold of you so tightly. I wish I could have been stronger in my prayers to protect you better. The enemy couldn't get to me, so he defeated you to bring me to my knees. I am trying not to be defeated as well. I am praying for protection. I am praying for comfort and peace. But I can feel the anxiety overcoming me when darkness falls. I am hearing the enemy use the guilt and sadness I feel to get ahold of me again. My faith is strong but I am struggling to hold it together. The grief is so powerful at times. Friday at work I couldn't stop looking at my office walls and just crying. You were literally in every inch of my office. It wasn't perfect and I was critical of you. Please know I am sorry. I was so proud of you and I wish I would have shared that proudness with you more. I know your decision was never meant to cause this much pain. And I know you wouldn't want my life to crumble into pieces for this decision. I am trying not to let it! I will be okay. Like yours, my life has not been easy. It has been full of trauma, sadness, and hopelessness at times. But He always picks me up and guides me where I need to be. He will do it again. It will take a lifetime to heal. A mother is never suppose to bury their child. A mother should never see what I saw those few days in the hospital. Walking the halls and praying for either a miracle or for your suffering to end. I wanted to trade you places. I would have in a heartbeat. I would have taken the pain/suffering and judgement if it meant you were okay. If I can have that much love for my earthly child, I cannot imagine the love He has for you. That is how I know you are with him and will have eternal peace. That gives my mama heart a little comfort. I will be okay. Maybe not today and definitely not next week when we have your funeral, but I will be okay. Life will continue. I will focus on my patients and continuing to bring healing to Helena and beyond. I will find/focus on the blessings that have come from this tragedy. I am going to take care of myself better and not work myself to death. I will find things that make me happy. The days will get easier (eventually). But I will never forget you! I carried you for 9 months and spent my life trying to protect you. I know you know that I tried with everything I had. I feel like a failure but I know that is the enemy. Our Father allowed this to happen. I don't get to understand the why at this time, but He allowed the course of events to happen. So I know he has you and will carry me as well. Enjoy the peace up there! Let everyone love you the way you deserved to be love here on earth. Tell everyone up there how much we miss them. Give Paisley a little kiss from me. And please know that we will all be okay here. We love you so much and will miss you always. We will meet again, you just got a head start on us❤️
