GOD BLESS THE GRIEVING MOTHER

God Bless the grieving mother when January snowflakes fall,
Winter seems sort of frozen in time, like a clock inside a wall.

God Bless the grieving mother in February as it's a month to show love.
But to a mother who has lost a child, I wonder what happened to her love.
God Bless the grieving mother when March winds start to blow,
it reminds her of that awful day.
That she got that awful call,
that made her feel like a brick
Being thrown against a wall.

God Bless the grieving mother as April rains come down.
It makes me think of how the good LORD felt,
When JESUS wore that thorny crown.

God Bless the grieving mother in May as flowers bloom,
For all a grieving mother has left is a bed within an empty room

God Bless the grieving mother in June as summer starts,
It brings back memories that she holds so close to her heart,
Of times they spent together going to the park.

God Bless the grieving mother as the hot July sun beats down,
She knows her Childs in Heaven by now.
But this life she now has sure is getting her down.

God Bless the grieving mother as August comes to town.
Remembering the time her own heart,
nearly took her down.

God Bless the grieving mother, as September brings on fall,
And all the time she spent at games, watching her child play ball.

God Bless the grieving mother as October brings on Indian summer
As she remembers the times her child was with his or her mother.

God Bless the grieving mother in November as we all share in
Thanksgiving
I wonder how by this time
This poor mother is even living.

God Bless the grieving mother in December at Christmas time
As her heart is already broken,
From not hearing a single word
That her lost child has not spoken,

I wonder as the days turn into months,
And then turn into years, if that grieving mother,
Ever learns to stop shedding those sorrowful tears?
So stop and think about it, the next time you see one cry
or hear her say, "I've Lost It All."
Please take her hand, just try to understand,
She just misses her child that's all.

Robert I hope you are feeling better. When do u get out of the hospital? Even though I have lost a daughter I can't imagine your pain. I just wanted to let you know that we are all pulling for you and your family. Get Well Soon. I will keep you in my thoughts, heart and prayers. God Bless you

Robert - your anger is well founded - but just for now try to concentrate on getting better and out of that hospital. It makes me mad to hear people say that they know what we've been through, what might be a well meant comment actually has some crushing effect that only we can feel. I think that what they should really be saying is 'how the hell do you muster up the strength to carry on?'. Even speaking as someone who has lost a child - I could never imagine what you have been through nor how you are coping with everyday life. I listened to your track - and I can understand how much you identify with the words. All I can really say is that your daughter is really going to need her Daddy, so just put all that anger into getting well - have you had any kind of counselling? If not, please try to get some while you're in the hospital it will help some.
Take care Robert - be strong for the ones who need you most. Gail

Wendy - Chicken Soup for the Grieving Soul is a wonderful book and I found it really helped me to come to terms with my own feelings seeing them in print in someone elses words. I'm glad you are finding some comfort in its covers too.
Hope you are well - thinking of you often
hugs

Hi Robert - how have you been?? I hope fully recovered from the stroke you had and enjoying life with your little daughter? All the holidays coming up are extremely difficult for everyone but I think especially for you. I cannot imagine the pain of losing three little ones and can only send a huge cyber hug for you and your family. I hope that you are getting some kind of support in your community - I know you are in a very small town so maybe that is proving difficult. I can only echo what I have told many people over the years - and that is to celebrate the lives of those darling children on their birthdays - make it a family event if you can, do a balloon release or light a candle but do something if you can, it really does help to be able to do something real for the ones we have lost. Stay in touch with the group too - hopefully you will gain a little strength listening to how others deal with the holidays and those special days. We are all walking the same road - some of us are further along than others - I can echo Katherine's words that time softens the pain. Until then, we have each other. Take care and let us know how you are
God bless
Gail
