The Launch

After being online for the past 10 years, I felt it was time to start a blog. Not that blogs are commonplace but I felt I have a lot to share especially with regards to my grief journey and the transformation that has taken place in the past year.

I chose joy over sadness. It is said that grief is inevitable but misery is optional. I realized that it did no good to sit in my misery pit. It does no good for the loss of my son to lead to the loss of two.

What does do good is doing good. I decided to lead the second part of my life differently and better than I would have imagined …in the name of my son, Luijoe. I know that as I reach out to bereaved parents through The Compassionate Friends … the world is changed in some small way for the better, and then the actions taken become my living tribute to my son. And then Luijoe is never entirely gone.

    Hi Noemi, thanks for a leaving a note on my webpage. I though I recognized your last name. You’re Lauren’s mom! :-) She’s been my blog’s hostess for some time now and I have to say, she’s really good at what she’s doing.

    Anyway, sorry to hear about your Luijoe. And glad that you have chosen the path you did. Your little angel must also be very proud of you.

    Lauren is quite good in business. She’s my inspiration :)
