Hi everyone and welcome to the Broken Wing Blog. It is my hope that those of us who struggle or have struggled with brokenness due to loss, disappointment, rejection or any emotional pain can find hope first in Jesus, and then through my journey and how I am coming through the valley and into the marvelous light! If you didn’t know already, we need each other as God’s Word said, it isn’t good for man or woman to be alone (Genesis 2:18). In this blog, there is an opportunity for Christians and non-Christian alike to follow me as a believer in Jesus Christ through my faith and grief walk. There will be discussions about faith, suffering, depression, the goodness of God and how the Word of God and His Holy Spirit helps us put the pieces of our lives back together again. As a licensed master social worker, I will also give advice that helped me deal with my depression and grief after the loss of my husband. Spirituality and mental health can work hand in hand; they are not mutually exclusive. Although I am a clinician, please see your personal therapist for mental health services if needed. You may ask, where does the name Broken Wing comes from and what is the significance of it? Most early mornings, during my walk in the neighborhood, I hear birds chirping and I embrace the calmness of the new day. One morning, I saw a bird flying and I thought about how losing my husband, Will was like a bird losing one of its wings but still had to fly to survive. I am sure the bird was so traumatized from the loss of its wing that he thought he was going to die. If the bird thought he might live, surely with the amount of damage done to his body, he believed he would never fly again. The bird with the broken wing was exactly like me; half of me missing and broken in mind, soul, body, and spirit. I was so traumatized and heartbroken at the death of my husband, I didn’t think I could live, and if I did live how would I go on without him. But just like that bird, with a whole lot of patience, faith, encouragement, and tending to the wound, I am flying a little again. And like the bird, who is still very bruised and unsteady but presses his way towards the sky even when the other half of his body is missing, I too will press my way to wholeness and allow God to mend the broken pieces of my heart. Join me in this journey and find your peace as well.

You’re an inspiration to everyone that’s has experience a loss of a love one. When my dear sweet Mother died. Apart of me die with her. It was a hurt like none that I had ever experienced ever in my life. I thought I was going lose my mind. Couldn’t sleep or eat. It was a dark place to be.

I really enjoyed reading this information. There are many of us claiming reformation after tragedy, rejection, pain or what have you. I’m a living testimony that if we keep our trust in God and let Him lead us , He with give us peace after the storms. This passage is so touching and gives me hope for brighter days. I’m Reclaiming without a doubt.

Those are very true emotions when loss is suffered. The way back is difficult. Thank you for talking about your own experience of loss and opening the conversation to others. Not easy to have this conversation. Glad you invited those who have other forms of loss and who may benefit from your blog by seeking additional help from spiritual or mental health services. Great way to reach out to others. Looking forward to more.
