WHEN A LOVED ONE DIES
Have you lost a loved one in death? The pain, the grief, and the feelings of helplessness can seem unbearable. At such times, we need to go to God’s Word for comfort. (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4) The Bible helps us to understand how Jehovah and Jesus feel about death. Jesus, who perfectly reflected his Father, knew the pain of losing someone in death. (John 14:9) When he was in Jerusalem, Jesus used to visit Lazarus and his sisters, Mary and Martha, who lived in the nearby town of Bethany. They became close friends. The Bible says: “Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.” (John 11:5) Though, Lazarus died. How did Jesus feel about losing his friend? The account tells us that Jesus joined Lazarus’ relatives and friends as they grieved over this loss. Seeing them, Jesus was deeply moved. He “groaned in the spirit and became troubled.” Then, the account says, “Jesus gave way to tears.” (John 11:33, 35) Did Jesus’ grief mean that he had no hope? Not at all. In fact, Jesus knew that something wonderful was about to happen. (John 11:3, 4) Still, he felt the pain and sorrow that death brings. In a way, Jesus’ grief is encouraging to us. It teaches us that Jesus and his Father, Jehovah, hate death. But Jehovah God is able to fight and overcome that enemy! Let us see what God enabled Jesus to do.

I am not there
January 3, 2011
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the snow on the mountain's rim,
I am the laughter in children's eyes,
I am the sand at the water's edge,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle Autumn rain,
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the star that shines at night,
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS
December 27, 2010
NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS FOR BEREAVED PARENTS
I Resolve:
• That I will grieve as much and for as long as I feel like grieving, and that I will not let others put a time table on my grief.
• That I will grieve in whatever way I feel like grieving, and I will ignore those who try to tell me what I should or should not be feeling and how I should or should not be behaving.
• That I will cry whenever and wherever I feel like crying, and that I will not hold back my tears just because someone else feels I should be "brave" or "getting better" or "healing by now."
• That I will talk about my child as often as I want to, and that I will not let others turn me off just because they can't deal with their own feelings.
• That I will not expect family and friends to know how I feel, understanding that one who has not lost a child cannot possibly know how I feel.
• That I will not blame myself for my child's death, and I will constantly remind myself that I did the best job of parenting I could possibly have done. But when feelings of guilt are overwhelming, I will remind myself that this is a normal part of the grief process and it will pass.
• That I will not be afraid or ashamed to seek professional help if I feel it is necessary.
• That I will commune with my child at least once a day in whatever way feels comfortable and natural to me, and that I won't feel compelled to explain this communion to others or to justify or even discuss it with them.
• I will keep the truth in my heart--the truth that my child is always with me in spirit.
• That I will try to eat, sleep, and exercise every day in order to give my body strength it will need to help me cope with my grief.
• To know that I am not losing my mind and I will remind myself that loss of memory, feelings of disorientation, lack of energy, and a sense of vulnerability are all a normal part of the grief process.
• To know that I will heal, even though it will take a long time.
• To let myself heal and not feel guilty about not feeling better sooner.
• To remind myself that the grief process is circuitous--that is, I will not make steady upward progress. And when I find myself slipping back into the old moods of despair and depression, I will tell myself that "slipping backward" is also a normal part of the mourning process, and that these moods, too, will pass.
• To try to be happy about something for some part of every day, knowing that at first, I may have to force myself to think cheerful thoughts so eventually they can become a habit.
• That I will reach out at times and try to help someone else, knowing that helping others will help me to get over my depression.
• That even though my child is dead, I will opt for life, knowing that is what my child would want me to do.
~From the Brooksville/Spring Hill FL. TCF Newsletter
I heard you crying yesterday And felt your heart-sent love So I’m sending you this message Now, from Heaven up above.
You’re wondering if I’ll celebrate My birthday (way up here) I know you’re missing me today I feel your essence near.
God planned a special day for me He told me with a wink He’d ordered me a special cake (It’s Angel food, I think)
I’m getting lots of hugs from God He’s really good at that And every time that I walk by He gives my head a pat
Balloons will fill the streets for me They float up through the clouds And we have lots of clowns up here That make us laugh out loud
There is a birthday carousel Jeweled horses ride the wind With music playing oh so sweet… The magic never ends
I’ve made so many friends, you see We laugh and play and sing We ride our bikes and play jump rope And sleep in Angel’s wings
We’ll have our cake and ice cream And open gifts, surprise! But we don’t blow out our candles here Instead, they light the skies

Our lives have not been the same since the day the Lord called upon you to be by his side. The pain today is just as fresh as the day we received the terrible news. Where we drove 2 1/2 hours to be with you, mommy & your brothers. Felt like forever! Its still feels like a dream, like any moment I will wake up and you will be walking, ...playing, fighting with your cousins, like it should be! ;( Happy Birthday Yahira we Love you & miss you so much.

Don't Tell Me
December 12, 2010
Please don't tell me you know how I feel,
Unless you have lost your grandchild too,
Please don't tell me my broken heart will heal,
Because that is just not true,
Please don't tell me my son is in a better place,
Though it is true, I want him here with me,
Don't tell me someday I'll hear her voice, see her face,
Beyond today I cannot see,
Dont tell me it is time to move on,
Because I cannot,
Dont tell me to face the fact she is gone,
Because denial is something I can't stop,
Don't tell me to be thankful for the time I had,
Because I wanted more,
Don't tell me when I am my old self you will be glad,
I'll never be as I was before,
What you can tell me is you will be here for me,
That you will listen when I talk of my grandchild,
You can share with me my precious memories,
You can even cry with me for a while,
And please don't hesitate to say her name,
Because it is something I long to hear everyday,
Friend please realize that I can never be the same,
But if you stand by me, you may like the new person I become someday.

Do You Believe in Angels?
December 10, 2010
Do You Believe in Angels?
Do you believe in Angels?
I do, as I have seen
One who holds my heart
Beautiful Yahira Jesenia
Do you believe in Angels?
I do, as true as the sun
She came into my life
December 13, 2007
Do you believe in Angels?
I do, as I want to share
This special angel
Had baby brown fine hair
Do you believe in Angels?
I do, as I have seen one smile
She brightened a gray world
Forever and a mile
Do you believe in Angels?
I do, as I have looked into her eyes
An innocent soul within
Deep brown and wide
Do you believe in Angels?
I do, with this I struggle
Sharing her warmth
By my side she did snuggle
Do you believe in Angels?
I do, as I have breathed in time
Her heart beating with me
Perfectly matched with mine
Do you believe in Angels?
I do, as I know believers are few
Angel baby left me behind
April 19, 2008
Do you believe in Angels?
I do, as I give you a hug
Hoping you believe now
With eternal love from Grandma Josie

Special Angel
December 10, 2010
Special Angel
Author unknown
There is a special Angel in Heaven
That is a part of me
It is not where I wanted her
But where God wanted her to be
She was here just a moment
Like a night time shooting star
And though she is in Heaven
She isn't very far
She touched the hearts of many
Like only an Angel can do
I would have held her every moment
If the end I only knew
So I send this special message
To heaven up above
Please God take care of my Angel
and send her all my love

Prayer;
He shall enter into peace; They shall rest in their beds, Each one walking in his uprightness. Isaiah 57:2
Loving Heavenly Father!
You know how troubled I am thinking about my loved one who has departed from this world.
Lord! On this memorial day of my beloved one, I plead for Your new strength and new grace which alone can carry me through the rest of my life. Lord! Your word says that as Your children we can meet our departed ones in that beautiful shore. Till then comfort me and console me! Please be with me and guide me.
Lord I thank You for sustaining me with Your grace even amidst this loss! I trust only on You to grant me the peace which the world can never give.
Lord! I also thank You for the life of my beloved one who is no more. May You strengthen me till I come to Your kingdom. In Jesus' name - I Pray.
Amen.

Prayer
April 9, 2009
St. Jude, relative of Jesus and Mary, glorious apostle and martyr, renowned for your virtues and miracles, faithful and prompt intercessor for all who honor you and trust in you! Powerful patron and helper in grievous affliction, come to my aid, for you have received from God the privilege of assisting with manifest help those who almost despair. Look down upon me; my life is a life of crosses, and my paths are strewn with thorns. My soul is enveloped in darkness, discouragement, and sometimes even a kind of despair. Divine Providence seems lost to my sight, and faith seems to falter in my heart. You cannot forsake me in this sad plight! I will not depart from you until you have heard me. Hasten to my aid. I will thank God for the graces bestowed upon you, and will propagate your honor in whatever way I can. Amen.

sorry for your loss
October 24, 2008
I was here visiting Myria Silva's page and seen this beautiful little girl of yours. I really know what you are going through. We lost our step-daughters son little T.J. in 2003 to SIDS. I was angry for a long time. He was 20 months old and didn't think that he could be taken by SIDS but I realized it was our Lord that wanted him home. I can say it was not easy and still isn't, but it does get better with time. I would pray every night for him to meet me in my dreams so I could say good bye but for 3 years it never happened then finally one night it did. I told him I would see him later when I get to Heaven. I woke up crying my eyes out but I felt peace and have not been sad about it since. I know he is in a better place along with your baby girl and all the ones that have gone before us. God picks the best. I am truly sorry for what you are going through and I will pray for your family. With Love and saddness.

Loss can come upon you suddenly and overwhelm you with grief. Giving yourself time and space to heal, and being real with the Lord about your pain can help. Consider these sure words of comfort from Scripture and pray the prayer below asking the Father to give you new hope and strength to go on.
The unfailing love of the LORD never ends! By his mercies we have been kept from complete destruction. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each day. I say to myself, 'The LORD is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!'
