Blessed International Bereaved Mothers Day 

~ Sunday, May 4th 2014

Yes, though I walk through the deep, sunless valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with me; Your rod (to protect) and Your staff (to guide), they comfort me.
Psalm 23:4

Point to ponder…

"Anna Jarvis officially founded the traditional Mother’s Day to honour her own mother Ann who experienced the death of 7 of her children. This day was created in honour of a bereaved mother! "

International Bereaved Mothers Day - May 5, 2013

International Bereaved Mothers Day

May 5, 2013

I will tell you a story

about a mother...

how her voice trembles

when she speaks his name

how her heart aches

just to hear his voice

how the tears gather in her soul

whenever she wears her mask

and how her love burns bright

with a fire she can't tame

I will tell you a story of my heart

~TeriAnn Sargent

Jarred's mum

Be aware that this will be a long and difficult journey. . .

Just when things begin to look better, the calendar slaps 

you with another reminder of your loss.

Sometimes the pain will be deeper five years after the loss.

As the Chinese proverb says: "We can't stop the birds from

flying over our heads, but we can stop them from

nesting in our hair."

Don't shut yourself down from the pain.

The feelings you bury will not go away;

They will hide below the surface for years to come,

but sooner or later, they will erupt without warning,

in ways that can affect your physical

and mental health.

Grief itself is not a feeling;

It is a process that can take a lifetime,

a slow journey towards acceptance and peace.

~Wings of Hope

Do You Need Me?

I Am There . . .

You cannot see Me, yet I am the Light you see by.

You cannot hear Me yet I speak through your voice.

You cannot feel Me, yet I am the power at work in your hands.

I am at work, though you do not understand My ways.

I am at work, though you do not understand My works.

I am not strange visions. I am not mysteries.

Only in absolute stillness, beyond self, can you 

know Me

as I am, and then but as a feeling and a faith.

Yet I am there. Yet I hear. Yet I answer.

When you need Me, I am there.

Even in your fears, I am there.

Even in your pain, I am there.

"Be still and know that I am God! 

I will be honored by every nation. 

I will be honored throughout the world."

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

the Father of mercies 

and God of all comfort; 

who comforts us in all our affliction…

~2 Corinthians 1:3-4
