Doorways

This past weekend was a difficult one. I felt empty and restless. I felt invisible in my pain. It was during this time 4 months ago that Eli lived his short life on this earth. I look forward to the time when I can look back on his 11 days here with me with joy but right now it is still extremely painful.

Sunday night I received a gift of a vision. In my mind's eye I saw Eli standing at a door in front of me. Slowly I watched him open the door and invite me to step through the doorway, telling me it was okay to go through and take the next step. I trust the energy and spirit of Eli completely so I saw myself cross the threshold and step through. I felt lighter and clearer. I see that there are still many doors for me to go through in this process but I believe Eli is here with me to guide me through these steps, these doorways. The doorways of grief and healing but more importantly the doorways of love.

I am going to help you see it through.
I will protect you in the night.
I am smiling next to you......"
