4GIVN

4GIVN PRODUCTS

4GIVN products was created when I was walking out my grief after the loss of my only child. In walking from grief through mourning and then acceptance, working with crafts was my therapy. It eventually became one of my loves.

4GIVN is a part of my nonprofit support group, FORGIVE AND RELEASE (Grief Support). As you know life is full of choices and on my walk, I had to make the biggest choice of my life at that time. Through the bitterness and anger, I had to understand that: 1. Forgiveness is ongoing. 2. It is a choice. 3. I needed to make a choice because I was then walking around like a zombie and “that” was not God’s choice for me. I know He gave me the characteristics of “Power, Love and a Sound mind, all of which I felt I no longer processed.

I had to stop being “angry” with myself for not being able to stop the loss of my son. I had to stop being angry with everyone. The forgiving had to start first with me. That was a nugget God dropped into me. With His (God) help and approval and others support, I can now say “I AM 4GIVN” for all the negativity, suicidal thoughts and such I surrounded myself with doing this time of grief and I have taken back what I thought was lost. My Power, my Love and my Sound Mind. I AM NOW WALKING OUT MY RECOVERY!

I sell my crafts and donate the proceeds to help others who have loss a child/children or other to received help towards their recovery by having a safe place and program for mothers to come and get support. I partner with others by helping with support groups, therapeutic counseling and life coaching, making crafts night and outings.
