Special Needs Teacher
Washington, Tyne & Wear
Louise had cancer when she was nine years old and had to have a leg amputated. This setback did not
prevent her from leading a full and active life. Her disability gave her a special empathy with
physically and mentally handicapped children and after completing her degree went on to teach at
Gibside Special School in Gatehead where she adored the children and always celebrated their
achievements. The music was recorded by the children at her school and the proceeds from the CD
donated to the North of England Childrens Cancer Research charity. The song "Kumbaya" was
played at her funeral.
On the last day of term 2005 she became very breathless and was taken to hospital where she was
diagnosed with secondary liver cancer. This came as a total shock as she had been cancer free for 18
years. Louise dealt with this terrible news with enormous courage and dignity, she never ever asked
"Why me?" even finding time to nominate me for the Evening Chronicle Mother of the Year
competion.
We thought Louise was a truly inspirational young girl and our life is so empty without her.
And a cure was not to be
So he put His arms around her
And whispered, "Come with Me"
With tearful eyes we watched her suffer
And saw her fade away,
Although we loved her dearly
We could not make her stay.
A golden heart stopped beating
Hard working hands to rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best
A NEW STAR IN HEAVEN
Your adult life was never meant be,
Our Lord God came to talk to thee.
He took you from your Mothers love,
To join him in Heaven above.
He looks around and picks the best,
So that he can teach you to take care of the rest.
He could see how special you are,
That’s why he chose you to be a new star.
He knows the love we have given to you,
Is the kind of love that will see you through?
You will watch over us and make us strong
We will be together again, it won’t be long.
He has chose you for his special place,
With your caring ways and your happy face.
In his garden with his angels you will be,
Happy with the birds: the flowers, and the trees.
He came down and took you away,
Goodbye to us you did not say.
You will remain with us until we die,
Where we will join you in Heaven's sky.

Heaven's Door
On a hill in the distance
A young Girl quietly waits
Patiently she watches
For her family at the gates
Her brown eyes shine so brightly
As hope swells within
For soon she'll see her loved ones
And never part again
How joyous will be the meeting
As mother holds her child
And father kisses softly
The angel-his long lost child
Once more they'll hold each other
And tears will be no more
Forever they'll be together
As they pass through Heaven's door.
Take Care Love Michelle xxxxxxxx

From the Wheel of Life - Elizabeth Kubler - Ross
When we have passed the test we were sent to learn
we are allowed to graduate.
We are allowed to shed our body, which imprisons our soul, the way a cocoon encloses the future butterfly.
And when the time is right, we can let go of it. Then we will be free of pain, free of tears and free of worries, free as a beautiful butterfly - returning home to GOD -
Which is a place where we will never be alone, where we will continue to dance,
Where we are with thos we loved - and where we are surrounded with more love than we can ever imagine.

There is a grief story of a Buddhist Zen Master whose beloved teacher dies.
The Master, beside himself with grief, is wailing inconsolable.
He is in agony, tears flooding from his eyes.
His followers come into the room saying...'Master, why are you so distraught?'
You of all people know that there is no death!
The people outside and your students - what will they think,
hearing you, the Master, wailing like this????'
The Master looks up through his sobs and replies,
'YES, indeed - i know there is no death BUT he says, holding out his trembling hands, ' TELL THAT TO THESE HANDS,
WHICH WILL NEVER TOUCH THAT BELOVED FACE AGAIN!!!'

The clock of Life is wound but once
and no man has the power to tell just when the hands will stop,
at late or early hour......
Now is the only time you own
Live, Love and toil as you will .......

From the Warrier....... Coelho
God uses solitude to teach us how to live with each other
He uses rage to show us the infinite value of peace
He uses boredom to underline the importance of adventure and spontaneity.
God uses silence to teach us to use words responsibly
He uses tiredness so that we can understand the value of waking up
He uses illness to underline the blessing of good health
God uses fire to teach us about water
He uses earth to explain the value of air
He uses death to show us the importance of Life.

The Pit of Grief
The day my child died, I fell into the pit of grief. My friends watched me struggle through daily life; waiting for the person I once was to arise from the pit, not realizing 'she' is gone forever.
The pit is full of darkness, heartache and despair; it paralyzes your thoughts, movements and ability to ration. The pit leaves you forever changed, unable to surface the person you once were.
Some of my pre-grief friends gather around the top of the pit, waiting for the old me to appear before their eyes, not understanding what’s taking me so long to emerge. After all, in their eyes, I’ve been in the pit for quite sometime. Yet in my eyes, it seems as if I fell in only yesterday.
Not all of my pre-grief friends are gathered around the top of the pit. Some are helping me with the climb out of the darkness. They climb side by side with me from time to time, but mostly they climb ahead of me, waiting patiently at each plateau. Even with these friends I sometimes wonder if they are also waiting for the pre-grief me to magically appear before their eyes.
Then there are the casual acquaintances, you know the ones who say 'Hi, how are you?' when they really don't care or really want to know. These are the people who sigh in relief, that is my child who died and not theirs. You know ... the 'better them, than me' attitude.
My post-grief friends are the ones who climb with me, side by side, inch by inch, out of the pit of grief. They have no way of comparing the pit climbed to the pre-grief person I once was. You see, they started at the bottom of the pit with me. They are able to reassure me when I need reassurance, rest when I need resting, and encourage me to move forward when I don't have the strength. They have no expectations, no memories and no recollection of how I 'should' be. They want me to get better, to smile more often and find joy in life, but they also accepted the person I’ve become. The 'person' who is emerging from the pit.

Occasionally, we are graced with the presence of an earth
bound angel. They are unable to stay with us for long, but
while they do, they bring unprecedented joy and happiness to
all they touch. While they are here, we bask in their goodness
and marvel at their contribution to the world. When they
leave, we are left with the devastation that comes with losing
such a wonderful being... but we must remember... the earth
bound angels are not ours to keep. They are ours to enjoy,
learn from, and behold until they return home.

***^i^***MY ANGEL HAD TO RETURN HOME***^i^***
Our lives go on without you
But nothing is the same,
We have to hide our heartaches
When someone speaks your name.
Sad are the hearts that love you
Silent the tears that fall,
Living our lives without you
Is the hardest part of all.
You did so many things for us
Your heart was kind and true,
And when we needed someone
We could always count on you.
The special years will not return
When we were all together,
But with the love within our hearts
You will walk with us forever.

In Sympathy
Look to the earth and the sky
Listen to the song of nature
Let beauty remind you that all things change,
But love is with you always. xx xx
Happy Birthday
My Journey
An Angel appeared by my side,
Whispered you have nothing to hide.
Her awesome glow let me see,
An Angel's love to comfort me.
She held me beneath her wings,
As she spoke of many things.
When I felt her warm embrace,
Many facts I had to face.
She never tried to rush me-
Waited patiently for me to see.
God's love for me is unconditional,
He blessed me with this Angel.
Sent her to join my journey,
So He could set me free.
I heard love in her voice,
Whispering 'Have you made your choice?
If you're ready take my hand,
Together we'll find God's Promised Land.'
Thinking of you all today Lousie sounds a very special young lady god bless you all
