I'm linking up with Faces of Loss, Faces of Hope for their monthly writing challenge. This is September's: How has the changing of seasons (from summer to fall) impacted you in your grief journey?
Last year the changing of the seasons was kind of a turning point for me. In September of 2009 it had been 6 months since Carleigh's birth and I was feeling pretty low but then things started to get better after that month. Sure, there were still times when it was difficult but I began to feel like we were really gonna get through this and be ok. I started to realize some of the things that triggered me and I worked on getting better at dealing with those things.
This year I feel a new turning point with the approaching birth of our rainbow baby. A new time of joy that we are looking forward to very much.
The actual changing of the season really has no impact on me at all. I don't really see Autumn as a season of things dying. There's so much beauty in the season and I like to focus on that. All the sights and smells make me remember happy times more than anything. Of course, I've always been a half glass full kinda gal even when times are tough.

Beautiful Holly...I've watched your transition thru the seasons and you have done a wonderful job of balancing grief and hope. And you do a beautiful job honoring Carleigh.

great post. I agree with PP you go through the seasons like the day doesn't change. I to am the same way, and I LOVE fall, so I don't expect it to be hard on me.
Beautiful post! What a lovely look on the seasons changing.
Thats just one of the many reasons we love you so much!
Love and Prayers,

I love summer, but I welcome the changes God brings into our lives.

Good perspective. I think autumn is beautiful - especially living in Colorado where everything is the most amazing hue of colors! The glass half full is always a much brighter side of life!
Great view! I love the fall also! I think you have done a great job in balancing grief and hope and in honoring precious Carliegh.

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Ephesians 4:29
