Whispering
Wings is a place to visit in hopes it might help
others who are struggling
through the pain and grief of losing
someone very special in their lives.
We are a family who, in March 2001, lost our
very sweet
daughter and sister. My experience as a father has been the
toughest battle of
my life. When I look back through the months,
it seems to compare
to a raft…. The Raft Of Life.
As a family we were well balanced, floating
along on our
little
raft, when our very precious daughter left us so
suddenly.
We
were
all thrown off balance and overboard into a very deep and
dark despair.
My first thought was to sink, as I had no other
desire. As I
floundered in my own despair, I knew my family and friends around
me were
doing the same.
In our daughters short 16 years she was
devoted to helping
others,
and if she were in my
place she would have
been the first one
to
climb back on the raft,
and hold her loving hand
out to help the other’s
back aboard.
When we struggle to climb back from our deep
despair and
back
onto our raft of life, the first thought is to take up our
old
positions,
but by doing so we are thrown off balance again . . .
That alone
can be
a terrible circle. I soon realized we needed
some kind of new
balance,
living this life that is so empty and
estranged. To get this new
balance
we needed support from
family and friends.
So by creating this page it is our way to
hold out our hands to
each
and everyone of you, so you might grasp hold and
climb back onto your raft and regain your balance.
dark nights,
We have faced the raging sea with
all our strength and might;
Although the ship is battered,
And the sails are torn;
The Anchor holds,
In spite of the storm . . .
