The reason for being

Who am I? Why am I here? I don't know the general answers to these questions, but I can answer them for my blog.

Who am I? A grieving mother who lost her young child 9 months ago in a sudden, horrible way.

Why am I here? To share my thoughts in the hopes that they will help me heal and help someone else.

Shakti means strength. I think my strength has carried me through this far. Sometimes I fear it's running out.

  1. Hi Shakti, great blog.

    Ever since my 18 month old son died last year I have been on a crazy roller coaster of emotions. I vacillate between feeling strong enough to work through my loss, and then, even hours later, I can feel completely incapacitated. My world can close in on my one day, then open up the next. I'm disoriented and frustrated, and sometimes, scared.

    I appreciate your honesty on this site. I hate when people give pat answers, or try to make you feel like the feelings of loss will just "go away" one day. My grief journey is being documented as well on my blog, (sermonsIneverpreached.blogspot.com)

    Wish you all the best.
