Laura Villarreal said… - Paula, I am so sorry for the loss of your son...there is nothing more traumatic than the loss of a child. Take life one day at a time, one hour, one minute, one second or one breath at a time. Whatever is best for you. There are no guidelines or timetables when grieving as we all grieve differently. Be kind to yourself and take care of yourself as grieving is very difficult and confusing. The first couple of months after my daughter died I felt like I was wading through mud...it just takes time but we just don't know how much time.
Let us know how you are doing. Laura

To One In Sorrow
Let me come in where you are weeping, friend,
And let me take your hand.
I, who have known a sorrow such as yours, can understand.
Let me come in--I would be very still beside you in your grief;
I would not bid you cease your weeping, friend,
Tears bring relief. Let me come in--and hold your hand,
For I have known a sorrow such as yours, And understand.
-Grace Noll Crowell
And let me take your hand.

Let me come in--I would be very still beside you in your grief;
I would not bid you cease your weeping, friend,
Tears bring relief. Let me come in--and hold your hand,
For I have known a sorrow such as yours, And understand.

Living your life backwards
Ben's first duty as a new pastor was to conduct a funeral service for Albert, a man who had died in his eighties. Since he didn't know the deceased, he invited members of the congregation to say a few kind words about Albert. No one budged. "Many of you knew Albert for years," Ben prompted them. "Surely someone can say something nice." After an uncomfortable pause, a voice from the back of the room said,...Bereavement Overload - Coping With Multiple Losses
How can anyone cope with the death of more than one family member when those deaths occur in a short period of time?

Multiple losses occur more frequently than most people realize and they can complicate the mourning process. To begin with, it is...7 powerful ways to deal with grief
An interesting article just came in from the singer and songwriter Barbara Lewis, and I though it was so helpful to those coping with the loss of a loved one that I am reproducing it here: As a long-time performer - singer/songwriter - many events from my private life have appeared in songs. When my brother took his own life, and many years later, when my beloved husband of thirty years suddenly died, I brought...How to find the perfect funeral poem
Reading poems at a funeral can provide comfort to those who are suffering from the the loss of a loved one. Poets have the gift of being able to use words to give expression to the most sublime sentiments of the heart, and many of the most famous poets in history have used their talents to write about death and dying. Some poems about death can be dark, with emphasis on the misery of the...Losing my wife during child birth and looking after my 4 young children
