the impact of symbol of my time

Recently my father passed away.  Even though he was 91 years old, his death left a whole in my heart.  Every day, I woke up with an emptiness which controlled my day.  My niece gave me the Symbol of My Time pendant.  After I read the pamphlet that came with the pendant I didn’t feel so empty anymore.  I realized I have God, my faith, and the whole Christian community to help me through my loss.  The pendant is a great reminder no one is ever alone.  This feeling helped fill some of the emptiness. 

After 23 years of marriage, I discovered my husband was having an affair.  At that time we still had middle school aged children. I had a very difficult decision to make.  I chose to fight for our marriage and family, but I knew I could not do it alone.  I turned to my friends and counseling for support.  But I found when I was alone was my hardest time.  I also turned to my faith, and prayed a lot for strength. Symbol of MY Time pendant was a great help.  It was a constant reminder I was never alone. God was always with me guiding my steps back to my marriage and family.    .

Recently my house burned to the ground.  Our family lost everything.  We miss the sentimental items the most.  All of our pictures, the children’s drawings, items from previous generations.  A neighbor gave me a Symbol of My Time pendant.  I shared the brochure message with my family.  It reminded us to stay grounded in our faith and lift our situation up to God to guide us through this period.  The Symbol of My Time really helped my family.  I plan on sharing the pendant with others who are going through a difficult situation.

I was given “Symbol of My Time” by a friend after I lost my first pregnancy.  I was beyond devastated and felt abandoned. Wearing the pendant reminded me that I was not alone in this journey. I will never know why I was not able to raise my first baby. Sometimes bad things happen to good people, but God and my faith helped me get back to feeling like me again.  I will soon be ready to try for a baby again.

I was given the Symbol of My Time pendant as a gift after a good friend committed suicide.  I was paralyzed by the pain of never being able to see my friend again and the feeling of guilt. The questions of, “Why did I not see this coming?” and, “Could I have done anything to stop him?” The pendant reminded me to turn to God to guide me every day to still function and get the professional help I needed.  It has been over a year, I am still wearing my pendant. Each day is still difficult, but I know I am not going through this alone.
