Today is a centering sort of day.
I nursed Isaiah down to sleep last night, and then I held him in all of his peacefulness as tears streamed down my face.....Amy is gone.
I woke up this morning with no desire to go about my "routine" but I tried to because Isaiah was hungry and he didn't know any different. On our walk I felt so angry and disjointed - like I was flying in 48 different directions and I couldn't find myself.
Finally around 9am I started crying again and left Isaiah with Levi. Upstairs in our bedroom I wept and mourned as wave after wave hit me. I can't really describe it with words - it is deep sadness.
I feel deep peacefulness all over me with each breath in, and out. I can't control this. I have to let it out. And in doing so I can feel, again, my center....Who I am, what I'm really feeling, what I really need in each individual moment. You know what I mean if you've ever been sitting in traffic with a calmness radiating from within you. You've drawn on a "deep source" beyond yourself.
Last night I could see in my spirit that Abba (Daddy) was holding me, rocking me, and crying tears of remorse with me. He never meant for this to happen. He never wanted to see me go through this. He held my face and looked deep into my eyes, "I'm so sorry...."
And I knew that His heart is anguished with mine.
I've heard people say "He counts every tear" or something to that effect. For the first time I really feel that - the real empathy of His heart!
It touches the deepest part inside of me when I know Him this way....it's like I was going through withdrawal in those frustrating, disjointed moments....it's good to be connected again.

Hey Heather,
I've been out contact with you for some time and have missed you, thought of you and enjoyed keeping up with your life via facebook. I went to check out your website today and was shocked and saddened to find out about your recent loss, but also encouraged by your words and revelations about God amazing love during this time. We recently lost Chris father, my father in-law, to a similar circumstance. For the first time in my life I have also understood the bottomless empathy and understanding from the Lord that you were talking about too. I am so sorry. My heart breaks for you and I pray that you and your entire family will continue to be showered with buckets of love and grace with each new day.
In addition, it is so wonderful to see you and your growing muffin and beautiful family. You are as impressive and beautiful as ever. Hopefully, we will meet again someday.
With much love,
Abby Savage
