Jesse and Pixie - The Courage to Love

[Renee750il]

The two of you broke down so many walls of pain that hemmed you in.

You walked through the fires to each other.

You faced your fears, looked into each other's hearts and let hope and trust give birth to love and dreams.

The two of you refused to merely exist, safe in the confines of yourselves and you dared to risk breaching the shadows and fears that surrounded you; you dared to fly.

And you soared together and touched heaven and the music of the Mother fills you, and there is no distance, no farewell that can ever change the way you forever changed each other, with the courage to love, and to live.

Pixie, Samantha, beautiful Sam . . . know you are Jesse's angel; because of you, he was never again alone.

Now, Pixie . . . grieve for your loss, mourn your mate, but without regret. You dared to love, you didn't hold back, even when you were afraid. That is more than many, older and supposedly wiser, will do.

Celebrate that always. Great music will come from it.

Heart-rending yet warming all at the same time.

Pixieluv, you've always got a shoulder and an ear in myself and all of us. If anyone can turn a great loss into a lasting song, it will be you.

[bubbatd]

Amen ........

 

[Izzy's Valkyrie]

We're always here for you and we know it'll take time but hopefully you can be alright someday. Sorry for such a heart wrenching loss...

 

[PixieSticksandTricks]

Thank you so much Renee and everyone else truly. I had no idea so many cared but it is heart warming. Today is a bit harder than yesterday. Mainly cause im here alone and my mind is just racing racing and its starting to sink in that he's not coming back. But im also trying so hard not to close up in myself like before. Its hard though .

 

[smkie]

Be tender with yourself. YOu know he would want you to be.

 

[milos_mommy]

This so true.

Sam....Jesse would never want you to close yourself off from the world. This hurt is something I know you will never, ever, ever want to feel again, but remember how worth the risk love is. You will never love anyone the way you love Jesse, but be brave enough to go out there and live for him, love the world for him.

 

[Renee750il]

When you're fighting to not close in on yourself, reach out, Pixie. There are so many of us who will take your hand and help you keep yourself from sinking.

I love you, always.

 

[Doberluv]

This so true.

Sam....Jesse would never want you to close yourself off from the world. This hurt is something I know you will never, ever, ever want to feel again, but remember how worth the risk love is. You will never love anyone the way you love Jesse, but be brave enough to go out there and live for him, love the world for him.

Such good advice. I can't add a thing that would be comforting. All I can say is I'm so very sorry and only time and support from others will help ease your pain.

Sam... I happened across this when I was looking for a poem for someone else...

His Journey's Just Begun
By Ellen Brenneman

Don't think of him as gone away--
his journey's just begun
life holds so many facets
this earth is only one.

Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.

Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.

And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost--
and he was loved so much.

Thank you skittle that was really beautiful.

This song just came on the radio and blew me away. I have heard it over a hundred times im sure. But now it is exactly word for word how I feel right now.
