Endings are New Beginnings - My Child is with Jesus

By: Esther

Today I embark in a journey of healing of mourning for my little boy.

Twentyone days ago, our 4 1/2 year old little boy, Joseph Timothy, died in my arms at the hospital.

His ending here on earth, is his new beginning there in heaven with Jesus.

His ending here on earth, is our new beginning of coping without him here on earth.

Both are endings and beginnings at the same time.  Only his new beginning is favorable; ours will be a lifetime healing until we are with him.


My entire family is embarking on a journey through grief, pain, sadness into healing, peace and someday, joy.

My desire, is that though all our grief, I can encourage others who may go through the same thing.

The beginning posts, I tell my testimony on how God has been good to me.  How I met my husband, our family life and situations; briefly, so you will get a better understanding into our lives.  I feel it important 'to set the stage' so you can share in our story completely.

This blog will NOT be for you to share in our grief only, though if you are a decent human being, you naturally will feel for us.

No, when I finish writing the posts about our story the rest of this blog will only be dedicated to encourage those who have lost someone they love; especially a child.  

I pray this will be a place on the endless internet that someone can come and be encouraged in their own grief for their loved one.  God is a healer and it is His desire to heal us.  

I will always have scars, but I won't bleed forever.  My scarred heart can still experience joy.

...it just may take a while...

Please come in and cry with me - and heal with me.

All these posts are subject for revision as my mind clears and I remember new information.
