let us recognize ALL mothers.
The ones who nurture their children here on Earth.
The ones who carry some if not all of their children in their hearts
and the ones who yearn just to conceive a child.”

Honoring
Mothers Grieving
the
Loss of their Child
“Grief is the price
we pay for
love.”
~Quote: Queen Elizabeth II
“Sometimes when one person is
missing
the whole world seems
empty.”
~~~
“I have heard it said that the greatest loss a human
being can experience is
the loss of a child.
This is true.
It doesn’t just change you,
it demolishes you.
The rest of your life
is
spent
on
another
level.”
~Gloria Vanderbilt
~~~
“The big misperception some people have
tell those who are grieving
not
to openly
display their grief.
The only way
to
release
this pain
is
to go through it
and
to express it.
“There is no other way.”
~~~
“Grief is
the most
powerful emotion,
yet
it is the one emotion
we are taught
least
about.”
~Necole Stephens
~~~
“It’s just fine
to feel a little heavy,
and it’s just fine
to sit here
and
catch
my
breath,
and it’s just fine
to be a mess at times,
and it’s just fine
to be relatively
normal
sometimes.
It’s just fine to miss them.
It’s just fine
to let it all hit me,
surrendering
and
succumbing.
“And its just fine to remember that
grief has no rules,
and that
really, it will,
in many ways,
last
as
long
as
love
does.
Forever.”
~~~
“Time doesn’t heal all wounds.
It just puts more space between the times you
remember the events that gave you those wounds…
.
There are some hurts
that never stop hurting
no matter how faded the scars.”
~Charlie Walton
~~~
“Grief is
not
a disorder,
a disease
or
sign of weakness.
It
is
an
emotional,
physical
and
spiritual
necessity,
the price
you pay for
love.
The only
cure
for grief
is
to
grieve.”
~Earl Grollman
~~~
“Grief
is
love
not
wanting
to
let
go.”
~Earl A. Grollman
~~~
“Grief is so human, and it hits
everyone at one point or
another, at least, in their lives.
If you love,
you will grieve,
and that’s just a given.”
~Kay Redfield Jamison
~~~
“The reality is that
you will grieve forever.
You will
not ‘get over’
the loss of a loved one;
you will learn to
live with it.
You will heal
and
you will rebuild yourself
around
the
loss
you have suffered.
You will be whole
again but
you will never be the same.
Nor should you be the same
nor would you want to.”
~Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
~~~
“My grief journey has
no one destination.
I will not ‘get over it.’
“The understanding
that
I don’t have to be done
is liberating.
I will mourn this
death for the rest
of my life.”
~Alan D. Wolfelt
~The Wilderness of Grief
~~~
“Each person's grief
journey is as
unique
as a
fingerprint
or
snowflake."
~Earl Grollman
~~~
“I have this feeling of
weight on my chest and I
don’t know how to get rid
of it.
The feeling
of Grief
or just
the realization of
the truth.”
~~~
“Tears are just the
silent
language
of
Grief.”
~Voltaire
~~~
“Tears are words
too
painful
for
a
broken
heart
to
speak.”
~Author Unknown
~~~
“To weep is to make less the depth of grief.”
~William Shakespeare
~~~
“But grief is a walk alone.
Others can be there, and listen. But
you will walk alone
down your
own path,
at your own pace,
with your sheared-off pain,
your raw wounds,
your denial,
anger,
and
bitter loss.
You’ll come to your
own peace,
hopefully
…but it will be
on your own,
in your own time.
~Cathy Lamb
~
“They’d crossed over to that continent
where grieving parents lived.
It looked the same as
the rest of the world,
but
wasn’t.
Colors bled pale.
Music was just notes.
No longer transported or comforted,
not fully.
Never again.
Food was nutrition, little more.
Breaths were sighs.
And they knew something the rest didn’t.
They knew how lucky
the rest of the world was.”
~Louise Penny
~~~
“It has been said,
“Time heals all wounds.”
I do not agree.
The wounds remain.
In time,
the mind,
protecting its sanity,
covers them with scar tissue
and
the pain lessens.
But it is never gone.”
~Rose Kennedy
~~~
“Some days, the tears must flow.
There’s no cure for grief,
you endure
one
day
at
a
time.”
~~~
“When you tell a griever to
let the past go…
(your message to them is
leave your loved one behind
and
move forward):
This hurts more
than helps.”
~National Grief Awareness Day
~~~
~~~
“Sometimes
crying
is the only
thing to do
to make you
feel
better.”
~~~
“Grief is a form of love.
Honoring grief
is
honoring love.”
~M. K. Shear, Center for Complicated Grief
~~~
“When you love deep,
you grieve deep.”
~~~
“I am blooming from the wound where I once bled.”
~Rune Lazuli
~~~
“BEAUTIFULNESS
Be - You - To - Fullness
Bring your authentic self to your life,
even when you come with grief.”
~(grieving mother) Dr. Joanne Cacciatore/FB
~~~
“I am a better person for
having known your beauty.
I am a better person
for loving you.
And I am also a better person
for mourning
your
absence,
even if I continue to
wish
it wasn’t this way.”
~Joanne Cacciatore
~~~
“Today, I pray for
every person that
secretly
lives
in
pain.”
~A Woman of Faith
~~~
“Lord, I bring to You
my burdens
and
You know
my situation.
You know
I can’t make it
without You.
Comfort my heart,
give me strength,
and help me
carry on.”
~~~
“Be merciful to me, LORD,
for
I am faint;
O LORD heal me.
My soul is in anguish.
How long,
O LORD,
how long?
Turn O LORD,
and
deliver me.
Save me
because of
Your unfailing love.
All night long
I flood my bed with weeping
and
drench my couch
with tears.
“The LORD has heard my weeping.
The LORD has heard
my cry for
mercy;
the LORD accepts my prayer.”
excerpts from ~Psalm 6
~~~
“Her absence is
like
the
sky
spread
over
everything.”
~C. S. Lewis
~~~
~~~
“Keep me in your heart.
I’ll stay there forever.”
~~~
“I’ll hold you
in my heart
until
I hold
you
in
heaven.”
May God bless you all,
Angie
