When a loved one passes, they don’t seem to connect with me right away. It usually takes probably a few months. I don’t know if it is because they have some adjusting and fine-tuning to do.
Or, perhaps it is because I need to get to a point where I’m less locked into the grieving process, to be more open for the visit.
I’m thinking of this now, because my step-daughter passed-away Saturday night. We don’t know what the cause of death was. They are doing an autopsy, but it will take about six weeks before we will have the results.
I so wish I could have a visit from her and let my husband know that she is okay. That she is happy! I must be patient and be open. All in God’s time.

As a toddler, Sue Baumgardner made up stories for herself looking at books she could not read and later spun tales for her younger sisters. After she had her own children, she told them tales and eventually wove a new pattern into the fabric of their lives. As the three sat together, one would begin with a story idea of her own. She spoke perhaps a paragraph or two or three, then pointed to the next who would take up the thread and continue with her own evolution of the story line passed to her, until she pointed to the next. The third person wove her own ideas into the story progression. After the three each had a turn, anyone could end the story, in their turn, whenever it felt complete to them.
After her children were adults, Sue studied writing, first poetry and then prose. After six semesters in adult education, she was thoroughly hooked on the story art form. Sue continued with dozens of classes, seminars and writing retreats. She studied writing and publishing under the likes of James Patterson, Peter Behrens, and Mark Dawson.
As a contributor to the Discover Maine Magazine, Sue received her first check for her prose.
Her poetry has been published in The Aurorian.
She has six of her paperbacks along with four ebooks published. They include fiction and nonfiction for adults and fiction for Middle Readers.
Her very first publishing though began with Greeting Card Universe, where Sue’s greeting cards with verse are sold across the world.
