Saturday's Sayings

The Nature of Grief and Healing...

Part Two

~~~

You cannot rush your way

through grief. Grief unfolds

with the same exquisite

timing as the rose, left to

blossom on its own time, 

until the colors slowly fade

and the petals fall away of their own accord.

~Margaret Brownley

I feel like this from time to time, until I recognize my grief simply mirrors my deep love and loss... 

and I realize, in feeling that intense love and loss, that it draws me closer to my child…

which draws me ever closer to God, crying out to Him...

as He draws near to me with His comfort and love...

and in such a place of grace and love, I feel that I am on holy ground…

Where there is sorrow

There is holy ground.

~Oscar Wilde

There is a sacredness in the sorrow we feel when we lose our child. It is to be honored at all times.

Somewhere in time, my beloved one,

Our hearts will meet again...

And what an extraordinary

moment

That will be..
