The Serenity Prayer God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next. Amen.

BE GOOD TO YOURSELF
At this time when we are going through such pain do little things such as getting flowers for yourself, light incense (I love white rose incense from India), just something for yourself. It can be the smallest most insignificant thing to someone else. You are a precious soul put on this earth for a reason, and obviously your mission is in progress as we still here. Until it is our time to join our loved ones in the spiritual realm, let's try be good to ourselves, it shows God we are grateful for the gift He gave us.
Every day we are given us a choice:
a) To walk in the shadow of despair, and self-pity. Attracting more of the same, magnifying the negative...
or,
b) To walk with God asking for the strength He gives us, and honor our loved ones by just trying to do right for JUST THIS DAY.
We do have a CHOICE, and if we are not capable of making that choice for a long time, then it might be wise to seek professional help.
LET IT OUT
The first few months after my loss all my days were dreary. As time passed, some days are bearable, others are still very sad. I find it helpful when one is going through a very sad day to come to this site and post in your particular group, blog, chat. Spiritually it is helpful to express it. You will notice that the next day will be a bit less dreary because you will not only be doing something healing for yourself, but others read it and see what they are feeling inside. Please do let it out. Do not worry about what people will think, they feel like you do. It is a grief website after all.
May the Peace of God be with us all.
Consider this for a moment:
For just one moment consider those questions, and see if the conditioned reaction of our false-self is replaced by our Higher Self which is connected to our true reality which is the Spiritual and it is Eternal.
When we suffer a great loss, daily we face a decision. To resist what is, or to hand our suffering over to God. Each day we can decide whether to allow what is to take us to a Higher place where the realization that we are spiritual beings having a physical experience is a certainty.
Today when i thought how tragic it is that my loved one is not here, i asked myself, "what could be worse?" Here are some answers:
And, then i feel the Peace of God that it beyond all understanding. God has all the answers, and i will know them all when i go to our REAL HOME which is the spiritual realm where all our loved ones are waiting for our homecoming when it is our time, not before.

Thought for the day:
Keep comforting one another.—1 Thess. 5:11.
We can help and thus comfort others in various practical ways. For instance, we might do some grocery shopping for elderly or sick. We might help others with their chores, thus showing personal interest in them. (Phil. 2:4) Perhaps we can complement others on their good qualities, such as their love, resourcefulness, courage, and faith. In an effort to comfort the elderly, we can visit them and listen carefully to what they tell us about their past experiences and obvious blessings following God’s laws and principles. Why, this may actually encourage and comfort us! We might read the Bible or Bible-based publications with those we visit. Perhaps we could talk about an article that brought us comfort. Then, too, we might read or relate some encouraging points we found in the Bible, or a favorite scripture.
The first thing most people ask is, “How are you doing?” Well maybe we can better encourage others by saying, “I am so glad to see you”. A person suffering from grief, illness, etc. are miserable and we already know that. So we can be refreshing by focusing on the benefit of seeing our friend and the opportunity to spend some time with them. If they want to talk we can listen. While we are helping others we are helping ourselves.

It gives comfort to know how great men have suffered great losses and have gone on with their lives to lead nations. Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) lost his beloved wife, and his mother on the same day. He took refuge in nature, and went on to create our National Parks and became a great President.

If God allows us in a small way to make a contribution out of the pain that we are now enduring, we could say when we meet our Maker that what we are going through gave way to a ray of light, and hope.
