TRACEY COX Her Story & His Glory
raise 4 children alone, Shawn and I were so young. We were so young when we fell in love and the intensity of that love remains so strong in my heart. It is a bond I have struggled and deep inside refuse to let go. We were in each other ’ s lives since we were babies. I have known no other love. For you to understand why I can stand before you today and say, “I still cannot believe he’s gone.” I would have to share what was so very special about my husband. He was my King, my knight and shining armor, the love of my life, my comedian, my partner in crime, he was my everything. Understanding just why I would still be so connected to him in his physical absence would require me to share with you just who Mr. Philip Shawn Cox was and what he represented not only to me and my children but to all he shared his life with!
A Widow’s Journey – Pathway toward Healing
Life does not ask if we are ready, life just shows up! As a take a moment to reflect, it is hard for me to come to grips with and believe it has been 10 years. Honestly, it feels like it was yesterday, although many years have passed, I still cannot believe he is gone. It feels like a dream that I have yet to awaken from. I often ask myself, “How did I get here?” I never imagined at the age of 42 I would be a widow. At the time of Shawn’s passing our children were ages 19, 14, 10 and 9. Who would have ever thought I would be left to
W e were in each other ’s lives since we were babies. I have known no other Love.
