Message of the day.....let this sink in...

Sunday Morning Grief Tip: If you can just make it through that first year, you’ll realize... That after the first birthday, Christmas, anniversary etc. without ...the physical presence of your husband/wife, mom/dad or son/daughter - you’ll realize that grief is never going to go away, that it’s not an end game. We, the rest of the world, somewhere in history decided it was reasonable to give you a year. One year to get over the firsts so that we can move on with life. Here’s the thing, we all move on once the funeral is over but family’s lives are never, ever going to be the same. Fourteen years later, on a random Tuesday in May, their grief is just as present and as difficult as it’s ever been. Likely, and hopefully by this time, these people we love have learned to move forward with their grief, however, I promise you that they have not and will not get over it. For me, I want to grieve the people I love forever because grief is the emotion and the space that I still get to feel their presence. I don’t ever want that to go away. Like so many have said before me, grief is the price of love! Jer

A person who loses a partner is called a widow. A child who loses a parent is called an orphan. But there is no word to describe a parent who loses a child, because that is a loss like no other. So will you put this as your status for just 1 hour. Think of someone you know or love who's lost a child & take a few minutes to honor every child gone too soon...and every Parent left here to live without them.

A wise teacher once brought balloons to school, told her pupils to blow them up and write their name on one. After the children tossed their balloons into the h...all, the teacher moved through the hall mixing them all up. The kids were given five minutes to find the balloon with their name on it, but though they searched frantically, no one found their own balloon. Then the teacher told them to take the balloon closest to them and give it to the person whose name was on it. In less than two minutes, everyone was holding their own balloon. The teacher said to the children, These balloons are like happiness. We won't find it when we're only searching for our own. But if we care about someone else's happiness...it will ultimately help us find our own.

Providing comfort to grieving families is challenging these days. The rules change almost daily. I personally feel challenged and something of major importance is missing at funerals. The gathering.
