Supporting Family When A Child Dies – Ottawa, Ontario

A letter from Heaven

November 18, 2021 by TCF Ottawa

Thought I’d share with fellow parents:

A Letter from Heaven:

Hi. It’s me. I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know I’m okay.

And yes it’s really me.

The strangest part about my passing is I don’t feel gone from you. I do hear you talk to me, and most of the time I’m just trying to get you to feel my presence. I also smile when you keep asking me for signs that you ask me to send to you. I promise they will come when you least expect it. I really do try really hard to send to you.

Please stop saying you can’t feel me. When I see you laugh, it vibrates through my being and I smile too. Feelings like guilt, anger, regret, and immense sadness sometimes build a barrier between us. Everyone grieves differently however, my hope is that the signs I send help take the edge off, even for a quick moment. So please don’t be sad .

I would love for you to try harder to let go of those heavy layers that put the weight of the world on your shoulders. I might actually be able to come to you more easily. Finding the balance between "feeling it to heal it" and being stuck in it is a fine line. I honor how you grieve. Always

No, you couldn’t have saved me. No, you shouldn’t have done more. Yes, you made the right decision. I realize now that this earthly experience is all about finding our way back to love. All the rest is just part of the tough journey we call, "Life." Thank you for letting me be your teacher.

Until we meet again, promise me that you will love with all your heart, forgive in ways you thought not possible, release anger that no longer serves you, and slide into home plate saying, "I did it! I lived for you. I honor your memory by finding joy again."

I’m still the same person I was before my time came to a close. I still feel, hear, listen and I’m forever around you but it saddens me to watch you cry and hurt so much.

Please know I love you always. Look at the stars or look over the clouds that is where I’ll be. So for now hold on to our memories and let them bring you nothing but smiles.

Love you always & Forever
