I'm Free
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I've found that peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah, yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full I savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now; He set me free.

You mentioned feeling like
Jell-O before when we
were talking about being who we used to be. I liken it to clay. We are a glob of
clay that is shaped by our experiences in life. Then when our child passes, the
clay sculpture that we were is SLAMMED onto the potters wheel - from the top of
a sky scraper. All of what we were is still there, just flattened out and
unrecognizable. Day by day and minute by minute on the potter's wheel of life, a
new sculpture begins to emerge. It may resemble what we used to look like, but
it will never be the same. Some sculptures may snap back to their former shape
more rapidly while others it may take years. Just as each of our lives have been
different, so will be our grief road.
