Faith is the key. That slippery ideal we know is out there if we can just get a group! This is my journey. But I know my son's spirit lives an and I know he is okay. I have done lots of spiritual work - meditation every day, working with a dear friend who is a medium. Messages from my son come in many ways. I try to come out of my grief long enough for my heart to receive them, I find being outside, out of my man-made life, helps a lot. Walking and hiking help. Whatever I can do to quiet my mind of regrets and guilt, I have to do. Otherwise I feel I will fall back into a hole of despair I can never get out of. Somewhere in my despair, I do feel God and my son. If I didn't have faith, I would have no hope.

Finding this wonderful forum is a blessing (wished i had listened to my friend sooner when i was told to look for an on line community). That was a first step.

Becoming a member of a group that is all about my particular loss and reading their posts, and writing posts is helpful.

Now, comes the third step here. Interacting with members who have suffered different types of loss/losses is remarkable. Our own loss is unique, but when chatting with members who are suffering more recent losses, and more complicated losses, it puts life in perspective. And, you get to know those that have gone thru great loss, and are here to help others. It is very life changing. When one puts the pain we feel aside for a moment, and try to console someone in need that is honoring our loved ones that are now in Heaven.

May God give you strength this day.

Don't be afraid to cry...Tears are just words that the heart does not know how to say!

There are days when we do not even want to get out of bed, and since I lost my loved one that happens often. Automatically, I say:

Dear God, please give me strength to get through today.

If there are times during the day when is too much, I say:

Dear God, please give me strength to get through another hour.

If there are times when an hour is too much, I say:

Dear God, please give me strength to get thru this moment.

And, in this moment is where direct communication with God is.

Stay in the moment, God is there for you. He knows what you are going thru, and He will get you through it. One moment at a time that is all He asks.

Surround yourself with folks that are going thru the same grief you are. Visit Chat, say "hi". The friends I have made there are a wonderful support system.

 

And, be gentle with yourself. If you break down and cry, if you feel super blue, it is OK. It shows you have the capacity to love greatly, and that is a gift from God.

 

P.S. Kim your inspiring poems are precious. Thank you dear friend

Let the pressures of the world lay forgotten tonight;

Rest your head on the pillow,

And keep them out of sight.

Close your eyes off to the sorrows that surround,

And listen only to your breathing sounds.

Inhale and exhale your worries away

Because when you wake up tomorrow,

It’ll be a new and improved day.

For now, though,

Let the darkening night sky

Signal the start of humming

Forming natures own unique lullabies.

Let yourself fall into the darkness that creeps;

It’ll be a blissful, magical, slumbering sleep.

When you awaken tomorrow,

Try and bless yourself with a beautiful smile.

Get up out of your bed with your head held high,

And ask yourself, “Who will get through this day?

Why: Me, myself, and I.”

When all of a sudden we have this wave of sadness washing over us, you might want to do what I did. I came to this wonderful Forum that Diana Young created for us, clicked on Chat and talked to good friends there. They supported me, and understood. We are a family here bonded by our loss, when you feel really sad, or just want to share go there and just say "Hi" that is all it takes. Today you are the one who receives the help, tomorrow it could be you helping. One never knows.
