It's cold and rainy, and PAIL month has me feeling introspective. Does anyone have a "sacred" place? It could be anywhere that is your happy, peaceful place.

Here's mine:  This is Creake Abbey, between the coast and where we used to live in Norfolk. We accidentally stumbled upon this place shortly after our first loss. It was a warm, sunny day in December, and I was really anemic and exhausted. I laid down on the grass while H and his friend explored, and I just had this peaceful, "we're going to be alright" feeling wash over me. Now whenever I'm stressed or sad, I think about lying on the grass and not knowing what was coming, but knowing we were going to be okay. |

The water by my parents' house.
They live on a cliff overlooking the water. You have to climb down about 100 steps before reaching the beach, but once you're there the view is amazing and it's so quiet. I remember going there on one of our visits after our second loss. I went for a walk by myself and just sobbed, trying to figure out what our next step in this mad journey was going to be. Every time I visit them I think of that meltdown.
Unfortunately, we don't visit too often these days.

Bicentennial Gardens in a city nearby works for me. It isn’t ideal (my favorite being the gardens at this huge home in a city much farther away). It is lovely and peaceful. My grandfathers ashes were sprinkled near there, my sister was married there and they even have an metal art piece dedicated to children gone too soon. People go and put flowers in her skirt.
