We said - seeking comfort at the time - that maybe he was there, saying to her through his singing that it was ok for her to let go, and he could take her to their forever home. We said, lightheartedly, that the male cardinal was mom’s dad who she has lost a few years prior - she never fully recovered from his passing, as they were extremely close. So loud and for so many hours each day that we couldn’t help but chat about him. A male cardinal sat in the tree outside her window and sang its little heart out. When my mom was sick and in her final days, we sat by her side in Hospice around the clock. I must share because, what is the meaning of pain and loss, unless we can share the hope of the miracles that go with them? Unless we help someone else through their darkest valley, to show them the beauty and light that follows? So here goes and it is my prayer that this sweet little bird and this story is just what someone out there is needing to feel God’s love and to feel the spirit of their loved one(s). But, the tears that were once filled with sadness have evolved into wonder and awe of the beauty the story holds.īear with me. It makes my heart feel like it’s going to burst and makes my eyes well with tears until there’s just no stopping the river. If I’m honest, it’s hard to share this bittersweet story. This little cardinal was one of the most difficult designs I’ve worked on because, gosh, it’s hard to create a piece when the emotion it evokes is so real and so raw.

My story is much like yours, I’m sure ~ it is full of loss, hope, pain, mercy, and love but most of all, it’s full of God. With this piece, I share my heart with you.
Sweet sterling silver cardinal holds a heart in her chest, measures 5mm x 13mm, and rests on a sterling silver 6-18" adjustable chain
This cardinal is a gentle reminder that we're never far apart from those we love.
