When I approached Lyndie with the idea of doing a webpage for her I confess to being a little nervous. Lyndie is shy in a way that can't be explained unless you know her. I was afraid she would say no so I kind of gave her no choice. I also confess that the first time I ever IM'ed her I was nervous. I was thinking here is this person with all this talent what am I going to say to her? We are good friends now. I am glad!
She graciously accepted and sent me a picture, so now you can see who is writing the poems on my pages. Lyndie says she never wrote anything until her son Joey was killed in an automobile accident. That having lost him propelled her into writing. That it has saved her. Now she is saving other's with her writing.
Lyndie is loving, kind, generous, and funny. I can be having the world's worst day and even if she doesn't mean to sometimes I can't help laughing. She never sugar coats anything and, in the world we live in of grieving parents it is so important to tell the truth about your feelings. The one thing she says that brings laughter every time is UGH! I understand UGH!
In talking to Lyndie you get the idea that the grief process changes and you change and you are never the same person you were after the death of your child. I know from personal experience I am not the same. Losing my daughter Megan was the worst thing that could ever happen to me.
Please get to know Lyndie through her incredible writings. She is a joy and a treasure. More than friends more like Family!
