Heavens Colors Comfort Grieving Parents
May 16, 2008 by diana gardner-williams
My baby is in heaven and I cannot even fathom the beauty of this playground. I truly love this earth and feel some places are indeed heavenly. I can visually imagine all the little babies that have died early in pregnancy, stillborn or as an infant, together in a special place waiting for us. A place rich in vivid colors, no words can describe.
The clouds glisten like snow and cushion our babies when they fall. At night the billowy puffs swaddle our children like a white fleece blankie just fetched from the dryer.
The brightly colored flowers on hillsides and valleys bloom forever to slow their speed as they tumble down.
Butterflies carry and care as our angels frolic through the meadows tasting sweet nectar from the flowers blooming at their noses.
Brightly colored crocus and camellia flowers taste like cotton candy or gummy bears when the children need a sweet treat.
Precious angel babies can drink from any stream, lake or river when thirsty from playing in the warm sunshine quenching thirsty little mouths.
What Dreams May Come,a movie starring Robin Williams was a beautiful rendition of how heaven could be for our babies that have passed. The vivid colors, beautiful imagdry, and the thought of having peace without obstacles was very appealing and comforting to me.
My son Tanner was stillborn 4 years ago and I still think about him everyday. If you have not lost a child you may think it would be impossible to do so. There are so many things in everyday life that remind me of my sweet child in heaven. Certain colors, scents, words, and songs could trigger my thoughts of Tanner. My garden is full of brightly colored flowers in the month of May, also Mother’s Day where my thoughts are of my child in heaven.
Cuddled up with a buttercup my sweet son
I Love You Always, Mommy
