I'm finally doing it. I've felt the need to start a blog since my youngest 16 year old son Jesse died July 7, 2010. As I've been going through the grieving process I've written a lot, over 30 poems so far. I've been on the side of grieving where I was the one who didn't know what to say, found myself being consoled by the one who I was intending to console. I have learned so much and want to share the things I've learned as I've gone through this process. I want this to be a place where those who have suffered the loss of a child or loved one, especially having an empty bed in their home, can share their feelings -- anger, grief, abandonment etc. A place where we can share the amazing things about the one they are missing. The lessons learned, faith that has been challenged or strengthened.
I have already written a lot and will begin posting -- my thoughts, feelings and experiences ... the poems I've written. I invite you to share your thoughts about what I've written or about your own experiences.
I thank you for sharing in this journey ... sometimes roller coaster ride, this tribute to the life of my dear son H. Jesse Allen.
