Echoes of my heart

My beautiful girl,

I write to you because it helps me...to work out this grief, to make sense of this life; but mostly to keep in touch with you. In that sense, I will never "let go"....

Even if my words are only whispers of the heart, they are spoken to you & your sisters, who are my heart.

Whether good or bad, they are my truth. In truth can we only start to heal. In truth we can start to trust & accept.

If my words could echo towards heaven, you would hear them call out your name. Hailey. My beautiful girl. I miss you so. I love you. Come back to me.

Love,
Mommy

"According to an older study, writing about traumatic events actually made the participants more depressed, until about 6 months later, when the emotional benefits started to stick.
One participant noted, "Although I have not talked with anyone about what I wrote, I was finally able to deal with it, work through the pain instead of trying to block it out. Now it doesn't hurt to think about it."
