I have been thinking about this on and off for two weeks. Finally I am here. I am here because I am trusting my inner voice like never before. I have always had some self doubt and uncertainty, but somehow the sense that my body and soul know what to do, right now, is very clear to me. I go where it is safe, do not go where it is too much, and generally listen deeply to myself. This sense of clarity is quite profound.
My inner self says to write. So I have to write. It is a strange paradox. I write for me, but I post it on a blog? I write in a very private time, but I put it online for all to read? Somehow that seems correct too. Somehow I know I am not on this journey alone. And that by writing here, we can all connect. So please join me on this journey. Don’t “follow” me, but be with me. I need you with me.
Mathew and Elise,
Words cannot convey the deep sorrow I feel for the two of you and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. May you find peace on this journey.

Mathew,
I just read your two posts, this morning with my coffee in hand, and I am so glad you decided to take the “writing” journey.
It is a beautiful part of your healing journey, to write and to share it.
There are so many beautiful parts to this journey, we must embrace each and every one,
As we have said before the price paid for the beauty, for all the small gems, for all the loving connections made, the price paid, was way too high, unimaginably high, but it has already been paid, so now we can only embrace this brand new journey.
I walk this road with you.
Love,
Paul
Mathew. I, and countless we are with you. I will read and write with you, shed many tears and break into smiles, with you. I am and will always be here.
With love, Jody
I begin my day touched by your words… Your raw honesty, your depth, your clarity, your ponderings. Thank you for sharing, for including me on your journey, Mathew.
Dear Mathew,
I am inextricably Here With You.
Thank you so much for sharing these posts and including me in your loving,
healing circle. For me, staying closely connected to you and your family feels essential, like breathing air. So I am deeply grateful and appreciative of being allowed to be Here With You. There is no other place I would rather be.
For Now and Throughout Eternity.
So Much Love,
Susan
Mateo,
I have been with you from the moment you were born. I am with you now, I will
always and always be with you. The journey now is on a bumpy road. Together,
all of us, will share the sorrows and the joys. The ups and downs. We will be with you and Elise whenever, wherever.
I love you so very much,
Mom
Thank you for sharing this journey with is. I have been thinking about how loss, grief, and other devastations bring us closer and we experience community and love in a new way. Where we go, we don’t know. I’m here by your side looking forward to listening to your inner voice.
Love,
Claire
I am with you… I am with you… Know that I am with you.
Mathew,
You, Elise, Adin and Maya live in me every single day. Thanks for being so brave and open about sharing your struggles, doubts and journey with us. I’m with you.
xoxo

Mathew,
I think of you often and am sending positive thoughts and saying prayers for you, Elise, Adin and Maya. Thank you for reaching out to share your journey and for your example of strength, kindness and healing.

Mathew,
I have found there is a very thin veil between us and our departed beloved. Our relationships continue in some mystical fashion. Embracing that so forthrightly as you have here is a great teaching.
Your healing helps us and I feel privileged to be part of your journey.
Thank you,
Jen
