Shayna Grisham Obituary

Shayna (Boo) Grisham, 21, of Palm Springs, CA, was born on June 26, 1987 in Orange, CA. She entered eternal life on November 3, 2008 at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton, CA. Shayna was totally devoted to her family. They all meant the world to her, especially the babies. It is regretful that she never got to be the 'Great Mom' she would have been. Shayna worked for the last three years at Mercedes Benz in Palm Springs. It was there that she met and spent special time with Phil Hoffman. She came to enjoy the Palm Springs area so much that she and her Mother moved here in December 2007. Shayna is survived by her devoted mom, Kelly M. Grisham of Palm Springs; her father, Rick Grisham of Norco, CA and her two loving brothers, Lucas Grisham of Palm Springs and Travis Grisham and wife Perla of Crestline, CA. She also left behind her grandparents, Victor and Judith Hill of Las Vegas, NV, and Florry Grisham of Orange, CA; her Auntie Beth, Dhanna and Sammy; Aunt Shelly, Heather and Justin; Aunt Crissy; Aunt Penny; Aunt Laurie Ann, Erica, Jacob and Molly; Uncle Jimmy and family; numerous nephews, nieces and cousins and her baby Yorkie, Brooklyn Marissa. She is predeceased by her 'POP', Burley Ray Grisham, who greeted her at Heaven's Gate. Shayna will be missed by so many especially her two 'bestest' friends, Ashley Ryan Burnett and Perla Selene Grisham. These girls were also referenced as 'The Three Musketeers' and were extremely special to Shayna. There will be a Celebration of Shayna's life at Desert Chapel, 630 Sunrise Way in Palm Springs on Monday, November 10, 2008 at 2:00 p.m. The family requests that in lieu of donations, please send flowers to the Chapel.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Happy birthday Shaynie. Mommie misses you so much. I used to look forward to today, making you a cake, taking you to dinner, watching you open your gifts, listening to you laugh... Now they are painful reminders of what I'll never get to experience ever again. They were cherished times together, I'll never forget them. I just miss you so much. I want to feel your arms wrapped around me, I want to hear your laughter again. I want to see those beautiful blue eyes looking back at me with love. I miss you Shayna! Sometimes, often, I feel like I'm drowning in grief, like I can't get my breath. I feel like I've sunk to the bottom of the ocean and I'm fighting my way back to the top, where there is air, just out of my reach. Every day is a struggle for me but I have to go on. Life continues all around me and I must participate even when I don't want to.
Duchess came down the hallway this morning mewing. I looked at the clock. It said 5:43. 29 years ago at that moment my life changed forever. You have brought me tremendous joy and happiness from the moment you were born until God took you to heaven. I thank God for giving you to me. It just wasn't long enough.
Today, I'll put flowers on your cross and release balloons in the air for you, but my heart will be breaking ever so much. I miss you sweet daughter, so so much. See you in heaven.

Happy birthday Shaynie. I thought about you all day on Marissa's birthday yesterday. We had a wonderful time at the waterpark. I was missing you terribly. Today you would have been 28 years old. I miss celebrating your birthdays with you. Its something I cherished. Now, I'm celebrating the day God gave you to me. I never imagined He would give me such a special gift as you, but He did.
I love you and miss you with each passing day, each passing hour, each passing minute. You are always on my mind, every second of every day. You are missed tremendously by all of your family.
We get comfort knowing we will see you again. Soon!
Happy birthday baby.
Mommie loves you.

Hi baby,
We all got together for Gionni's birthday. All the babies are getting so big. Caleb, Jaxon, Gionni, & Shaylee are so cute. I held Shaylee and told her all about her Auntie Shayna and I will continue to tell all of them about you. Marissa and I talk about you all the time. She is the sweetest little girl, so much like you.
You are missed by all of us so very much. We all love you and know we will be together again someday soon.
Mommie loves and misses you Shaynie, so much.

Hi baby, Oh how I miss you.
Its been 6 years since Jesus called you home. I trust in Him and His plan but I miss you so very much.
Michael and I are going to your cross and making it new again. I want to hold you again so badly. My heart hurts so deeply for you. I cannot believe its been six years since I looked into your beautiful blue eyes and told you I loved you so much. You were so beautiful that last day I saw you. I can see you now as clear as day. It remains in my brain and will stay there until Jesus calls me home. Jesus and I have become very close lately. He is why I'm still able to be a functional human being. It would be very easy to just give up and do nothing at all but God gives me strength every single morning when my feet hit the ground. My heart misses you so much the words cannot be explained at all the depth of my grief. We all feel your loss every single moment of every single day.
You would love Shaylee. She is so beautiful. Marissa is so beautiful. She takes after you in every way, a girly-girl just like you. Her hair is past her back and Daddy won't let anyone cut it. Does that sound familiar baby? Riley is getting so big and handsome. He's learning to play the guitar. He sings too. Its so awesome. Kyler is still the 'froggie'. He's so cute. You would love tickling him... Angelina is almost 11 now. Growing into a young woman. You would be so proud of them all.
I have been incredibly sad this whole month. I don't know how Michael puts up with me. Sometimes I sit on the couch and cry for hours and hours. Life is beautiful but it would be so much more fulfilling if you were here with me.
God is good. I will see you soon my beautiful child, my beautiful daughter, my beautiful sweet baby.
Mommie loves you so very much Shayna

My sweet baby girl,
I've been crying non-stop as I always do at this time. My heart hurts from missing you but I rejoice knowing you are in the arms of our Savior. I thank God for giving you to me. I'm proud to be your Mom!!!
See you in Heaven Shaynie. I love you and I miss you.

Hi baby,
Oh how I missed you on my wedding day. I felt your presence but I wanted to reach out and hold you. I started to cry just before I went into the church. Your brother Travis had to calm me down with a prayer. We all missed you terribly that day (on the 21). I've surrendered my life to the Lord. He is why I'm doing so well now.
Michael wore your button on his lapel all day. We thanked you for introducing us so many years ago. He takes such good care of mommy. You were right, always, that he would be good for me.
I miss you terribly and I cant wait to see your beautiful face again someday. But for now I must live my life to the fullest each and every day for that is the wish of our Father God.
I love you so much and miss you every single moment. Mommie loves you so very much Shaynie.

Time to let go and let God

Mommie

January 23, 2014

I am at the deepest part of my grieving where I just want to go to sleep and wake up with you. There are so many wonderful things happening to Aunt Beth and her family and all I can think is that this is all I will ever have. No more grandbabies for me. We were so excited when you got with Jason because we knew you were going to have the babies you always talked about. Mommie was so happy. Now everyday Im so sad and screaming at the sky Why!!! Im back to where I was 5 years ago. My grief is worsening. The closer to our wedding we get the more I feel so far from you. Im so sorry baby. Why did God take you? I can barely function anymore. When I do go out I put on my happy face but deep inside Im terribly miserable. All the new babies being born is so joyful, but its not you having them. After I see them I cry all the way home. Nobody will understand the suffering pain I go thru every single moment of my life. Gods constant love and promises are keeping me going. Somedays I want to call it a day. I want to lay in your bed and go to sleep forever. God has a plan for me to be here and until that day he calls me home I will suffer terrible heartache. Screaming out to Jesus and shaking my fists to the sky is all I can do. I miss you so much. When I have to go to all these baby showers it really stabs at my heart. I wish it was for you. You would be totally in love with them all. They are all so beautiful. Gods greatest is our children. Thank you for being mine.
I love you so much. I still cant believe you're not here with me. You were my only constant thing in my life, my everyday. Now Im so empty inside without you. Family was everything when you were here, its not anymore. We've all drifted. Trying to hold on tight but its hard without you here.
I love you so much and cant wait to see you when I get to Heaven.
Mommie loves you so much.

Missing you terribly on this Christmas day. Everybody is here. Mommie misses you so much. Merry Christmas Heaven.
I had a dream last night that I was going to die. I said it doesnt matter, live or die, I win... John 3:16 - whoever believes in me shall have everlasting life. I believe! I want to see you so badly. Every day I struggle thru my day. Can't wait to go to sleep at night just so I can stop grieving and catch my breath. You are here with us. I wish I could call you and hear your voice. I hugged you today and cried for you. I thank Jesus for taking care of you but I miss you so much. My torture will end when we are together forever.
Merry Christmas my Angel. Mommie loves you very much.

I have cried day and night since you left this earth. We put up a new cross at the accident site. This weekend is so hard. Its been 5 years since I last held you in my arms and pleaded with you to wake up. I need my daughter. I feel so alone Shayna. My heart is so broken that it is numb. Sometimes I cry so hard I cant breathe and other times I walk around like a zombie, so numb. I have to do this until the day I die! My hope is in the Lord. I will see you again, when the Lord decides, just like when He decided it was your time. I will never understand it but I have to accept it. I miss you terribly. I suffer with each breath I take.
You are the best daughter ever. Thank you for being so perfect. I'll see you soon my sweet, sweet love.
Mommie loves you very much.

October 15, 2013

I had another episode. This time I wanted to pack my bags and climb the highest hill and be as close to Heaven as I possibly could be. All I thought about was praying to God to give you back to me. I scream at Him, I bargain with Him, I insist He give you back. But all I get is emptiness. These people who say it gets better and easier with time are nuts. I'm struggling every day with my grief. Its debilitating some days. I cry when I'm driving and its like rain on the windshield. This can't be true. I want to hold you and laugh with you like we used to do. My heart is empty. I want to walk right up to Heaven and bring you home with me. I can't bear to live one more day on this earth yet here I am. I pray God lets us be together soon. I don't want to live to be 100 and look back on the years I've lived without you. 5 years is horrific to my heart, I cant imagine many more.
God's plan is God's plan. I can only hope and pray he sees me in his plan taking that trip to heaven sooner than later. My faith is strong in the Lord, he is my ONLY hope of seeing you again. Riley and Marissa go with us to church when they come spend the weekend with us. Marissa loves it. They both sing to Jesus and in the car we have the songs turned up and they sing along. Its such a beautiful thing. Marissa is so beautiful. I'll be staring at her and then I'll say "look at her Shayna". We talk about you every time we're together. She looks at me and says "you miss Auntie Shayna dont you Grama". I tell her how much you love her. She is so proud of you too Shaynie. She and Riley love you so much.
Those three nights you were in the hospital are going thru my mind like a broken record. I cant get it to stop. My mind tortures my heart every breath I take. I miss you so much.
Michael and I are going to the -crash site- on Nov 1st to put up a new and permanent cross. We are going to release 21 lavendar balloons, one for every year you blessed me with your presence. Then I will spend the rest of the weekend working in your garden. I'm going to put up a few birdhouses and some lights and replant a few trees that have gotten too big in there and replace them with more purple and lavendar flowers.
Mommie misses you so much Shaynie. My heart hurts every time I take a breath. Someday when its my time I know you will be there to take my hand. That gives me hope.
Mommie loves you...

Happy Birthday Shaynie. I cried so hard last night. I wanted to hold you so bad. I miss you so much. We had Marissa's birthday party on the 22nd and I cried half the day. I remember you saying that you two were going to spend every birthday together. I cry because she doesnt have an Auntie that would love her like you would have. She gets deprived of having the best Auntie ever. I cry everyday for you Shaynie.
Bella died on April 14th. It felt like losing you all over again. I have so much hurt in my heart I just don't know how my heart keeps beating.
We rescued a Yorkie from a shelter on May 8th. We named her Shaynie. She is so beautiful.
I stayed up half the night screaming out to God 'Why'... I know he won't answer me but I still have to try. Some days I can barely function. Some days I want to make you proud. I just don't know from day to day which one its going to be. I miss you Shayna more than I can ever say. Your loss is bigger than the Grand Canyon. My heart is so shattered. I just can't wait to be with you. God id good, God is Great... He gave me you. I miss looking into your blue eyes, I miss holding you close, I miss hearing your voice, your laughter. I miss everything about you. Your beautiful face, your beautiful smile, and most of all your beautiful pure heart full of love.
Don't leave me baby, I need you close at all times. Say 'hi' to Jesus for me.
Mommie loves you Shayna Marissa.

SHAYNIE,
TODAY IS LUKE'S BIRTHDAY AND ALL I CAN DO IS THINK OF YOU. LAST NIGHT WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME I JUST STARTED SCREAMING FOR YOU. I KNOW YOU HEARD ME, I KNOW GOD DID TOO. I MUST HAVE SAID WHY? 500 TIMES. I WANT MY BABY BACK. I JUST KEPT SAYING THAT TO GOD. I WANT MY BABY BACK. IT HIT ME SO HARD SHAYNA.
ON SUNDAY, YOU'RE BROTHERS AND MICHAEL & I ARE GETTING TOGETHER FOR A FAMILY DAY, BUT AGAIN, YOU WON'T BE THERE. I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE YOU LIVE WITH JESUS AND NOT ME. I CAN'T WRAP MY BRAIN AROUND IT. I THOUGHT A LOT ABOUT DIFFERENT THINGS WHILE I WAS DRIVING. ONE OF THEM BEING I JUST WANT TO BE WITH YOU SO BAD. THEN PERLA SNEAKS INTO MY HEAD AND SAYS 'HOW DO I TELL RILEY?'. OH SHAYNIE, THEY LOVE YOU SO MUCH. WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT YOU AND MARISSA ALWAYS SMILES WHEN SHE SAYS YOUR NAME. SHE IS SO MUCH LIKE YOU, IN EVERY WAY.
I CANNOT BELIEVE I HAVE TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU. ITS SO HARD. I JUST WANT TO PULL THE COVERS OVER MY HEAD AND GO TO SLEEP UNTIL ITS TIME TO BE WITH YOU AGAIN. HOW CAN ONE HEART ENDURE SO MUCH PAIN DAY AFTER DAY? EACH DAY I DIE A LITTLE MORE. HEARTACHE IS THE WORST PAIN IN THE WORLD. THIS WILL NEVER GO AWAY OR GET BETTER. I LIVE WITH THIS TORTURED HEARTACHE EVERY MOMENT I LIVE. I MISS YOU SHAYNIE SO MUCH. I CANT BELIEVE YOU'RE GONE. WHY? GOD WHY? LIFE GOES ON ALL AROUND ME AND I HATE IT.
I PRAY EVERY SINGLE DAY TO GOD AND THANK HIM FOR GIVING ME YOU. I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE HE TOOK YOU FROM ME SO SOON. I AM DEVASTATED, BROKEN, IN DISBELIEF WITH EVERY BREATH I TAKE. I JUST WANT YOU TO COME HOME TO ME.
MOMMIE LOVES YOU VERY MUCH. I CAN'T WAIT TO BE WITH YOU AGAIN.

Oh Shaynie, I am so sad. I feel like I let you down. I asked for a pastor to give you your last rights when the Dr's said there was no hope. None were available. If you had a man of God touch you he might have healed you. I never should have let them take you without having you blessed in the name of Jesus. Auntie Shey read from the Bible and that put mommy at ease but I if a pastor had stood over you, you might still be here. This I believe. My guilt of letting you down is killing me slowly. I have to let God heal my heart. I dont know if that is possible. I miss my heart, my soul, my everything-YOU. All my tears will never bring you back. Going to church, singing praise to Him, praying. .. it doesn't take away any of my pain. I am tortured every moment of every day. God cant help me. Maybe he can. I don't know. All I do know is that I miss you so much and I don't want to live without you anymore. Please God, when can I be with my baby?
