Sunday's Sorrow - Child-Loss Grief Amidst the Holidays






Sunday's Sorrow

Child-Loss Grief 
Amidst the Holidays



Merry Christmas In Heaven To Our Angels


We do not need a special day to bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you are very hard to find.
Each morning when we awake we know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache as we try to carry on.
Our hearts still ache with sadness and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you no one will ever know.
Our thoughts are always with you, your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly; in death we love you still.

There will always be a heartache, and often a silent tear,
But always a precious memory of the days when you were here.
If tears would make a staircase, and heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven and bring you home again.
We hold you close within our hearts; and there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives until we meet again.
Our family chain is broken now, and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Monday's Mourning Ministry - I Miss You Most at Christmas Time ~Mariah Carey






Monday's Mourning Ministry

I Miss You Most at Christmas Time

I Miss You Most at Christmas Time

~Mariah Carey


The fire is burning
The room's all aglow
Outside the December wind blows
Away in the distance
The carolers sing in the snow
Everybody's laughing
The world is celebrating
And everyone's so happy
Except for me tonight
Because...


[Chorus:]
I miss you
Most at Christmas time
And I can't get you
Get you off my mind
Every other season comes along
And I'm alright
But then I miss you
Most at Christmas time


I gaze out the window
This cold winter's night
At all of the twinkling lights
Alone in the darkness
Remembering when you were mine
Everybody's smiling
The whole world is rejoicing
And everyone's embracing
Except for you and I
Baby...


I miss you
Most at Christmas time
And I can't get you
Get you off my mind
Every other season comes along
And I'm alright
But then I miss you
Most at Christmas time


In the springtime
Those memories start to fade
With the April rain
Through the summer days
Till Autumn's leaves are gone
I get by without you
Till the snow begins to fall
And then...


I miss you
Most at Christmas time
And I can't get you
Get you off my mind
Every other season comes along
And I'm alright
But then I miss you
Most at Christmas time
