Ashleigh Helped Give Me A Voice

I just got home from one of the areas shelters. Tonight I spoke not only about Ashleigh but about my story and the generations of abuse than had run back a 100 years in my family. I thanked Ashleigh because without her I would have never found my voice. The death of Ashleigh was hard but living without her daily since is even more painful than words can express. Even if all I do is help just one more person then I will. The voice my daughter gave me has helped me heal from my own abusive past. My worth/value comes from me and depends on no one else now. I will cherish and use this gift till I can be with her again. I'm so very proud of my daughter and her strength. I would like to say she got it from her mama, but I think she left a little behind for me. What ever the case, her story and mine are linked forever. Generations of silence is now broken but it took losing Ashleigh before that could be undone. No more! I cried out tonight. Not for my family or any family, as long as I can help it. 
I love you Ashleigh!

    This is a chronicle of the grieving process at the murder of my daughter, Ashleigh Marie Lindsey and her unborn Baby Patience Lynn. They call the parentless child an orphan & the married person who loses their mate a widow/widower but what do they call a parent who loses a child? There is no word given for the parent who have seen this kind of untimely death.

    The murder of a child is even worse and puts you in a very exclusive club (for lack of a better term) and even more exclusive is to have your grandchild murdered as well. It is a STOLEN GENERATION at the hands of the man/father who was suppose to love and protect them.


    I have decided to share this journey so that other parents can see that what they feel is in no way wrong. THERE IS NO WRONG WAY TO GRIEVE! This is my personal journey.
