By Patti Dansereau — Jun 18, 2015 12:05pm For the past six days Mom and Dad have been here and it’s interesting how it’s been a break from my grief in a way. Normally I’m very much alone and have too much time to just think about everything and that usually brings on tears. But with two other adults in theContinue reading “Company and some breakthroughs”

Ordinary Events
By Patti Dansereau — Jun 2, 2015 5:50pm The last couple days have been filled with small ordinary events that have turned into ‘first time’ moments. Such ordinary day to day on goings that turn into emotional battles resulting in headaches and tear stained cheeks. Saturday I washed the dining room floor for the first timeContinue reading “Ordinary Events”
Comfort in “The Communion of Saints”
By Patti Dansereau — May 29, 2015 2:22pm This week I started rereading Peter Kreeft’s book “Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Heaven” because it brought me so much comfort the last time I worked my way through it and I feel that need for comfort again, plus, like rereading the Pope’s Apostolic letter “OnContinue reading “Comfort in “The Communion of Saints””
Understanding Grief
By Patti Dansereau — May 25, 2015 1:38pm People ask me how I’m doing and there really is no answer because I just don’t know. It changes minute to minute, hour to hour, and day to day. One day I can be fine and the next spend the entire day fighting the tears or giving intoContinue reading “Understanding Grief”
A year ago today.
By Patti Dansereau — May 21, 2015 1:35am A year ago today Marc and I sat under a covered area at the Sorrento Park and watched Catherine and Bernadette ride their bikes around within the gated area while we tried to keep six-week-old Zoe from crying. As we sat there we talked about the last twenty fiveContinue reading “A year ago today.”
Rough Day Alert
By Patti Dansereau — May 16, 2015 9:22pm After almost a full day of trying to figure out why, I’ve come to the conclusion that there doesn’t have to be a reason for a rough day, they just happen, period. I just wish they had some warning, like a little voice in your dreams that screams “rough dayContinue reading “Rough Day Alert”
Sketch

Mother’s Day Gift
By Patti Dansereau — May 10, 2015 10:02pm Today being Mother’s Day I dropped a hint to Marc last weekend that if he was wanting to do something nice I had a suggestion. Last summer his mom insisted on family photos just before Joseph went away to college. I’m so thankful she did because they endedContinue reading “Mother’s Day Gift”
Three months
By Patti Dansereau — Apr 29, 2015 10:12pm Today marks three months since Bernadette left us. Three long months and yet three very fast months. I am amazed at how I can’t think even one hour into the future without tears and yet we’ve survived three months already! I suppose I should find that encouraging. We made itContinue reading “Three months”
Birthday Party Success
By Patti Dansereau — Apr 27, 2015 1:32am Well, Catherine’s big day was a success in almost every sense of the word. I say almost because there were a few challenges. This morning at Mass Catherine’s friend Maria was wearing a blue dress that was identical to one of Bernadette’s favorite dresses and Catherine started crying.
