What Lindy's Legacy is all about!

Lindy's Legacy, is a place I wanted to create to bring some inspiration and uplift those who may of lost a child. I went thru years and years of grieving, I went to counseling at one time and found it really didn't help me I knew GOD was there but I couldn't understand the WHY.

I am now 25 years passed losing my daughter, and there was not much I could find in how to grieve and how to move on. I have now found how to open up, that's why I call this Lindys Legacy. I want a place that shines with the brillance of what our children left us.

We tend to mourn and hold it in and well just live with it. I think we can move on. Some slowly, as I did, some can get thru it. The absoulete best medicine I found was a group of women who have been thru the exact same thing. Although, I do believe you should try counseling if you feel you need it, some local churches have these, some have communities, I found the internet. Go figure!

I found that to relate your story to another mother "helps you heal", because there is also someone there that "needs you". This was the medicine. Give back.

As simple as that, give back.

Lindys Legacy is not a memorial place, this is a happy place, I want your funny stories, your happy memories and maybe what came out of what your child brought to you, in your life.

Of all the years of mourning, I finally came to realize that I wasn't letting all those good times be her legacy, I was letting the grief!

She shines thru me and with me. Whether she is in heaven or right beside me as I type, she is leading me, and knowing how she was when she was with me, well, I'd better follow.

You'll find my stories of what I remember and a few posts of what I remember going thru and how to get thru it.

My life has finally opened up and I am going to take as much of it as possible. Some come with me, join my journey, let's pave the way for others. Bring me your great stories, I know you have some.

If you have any questions, or links that might better us, please email me at: www.janmaupin@yahoo.com

I am going to try and add more links, so leave me some that you might of found helpful.

My motto: Have faith!
