A hard weekend

Losing a child to death brings a myriad of emotions ...                   

all complicated ... all different ... all difficult.

Silent Grief speaks today about ... Father's Day weekend ...  

Losing a child brings about so many life-changes! In fact, our lives are never the same and we can't expect them to be. When a child is taken away, our hearts are permanently broken. We look to others for some guidance, for some hope, for some kind of encouragement. Friends often don't understand how much they are needed during our moments of emotional meltdowns and feelings of abandonment. What helps most? A friend who listens to us tell our story over and over again without judgement. A friend who includes our child in conversation. A friend who asks us sincerely how we're feeling and then stays by our side during our hours of falling apart. A friend who won't give up on us. What hurts most? A friend who walks away. This is an especially hard weekend -- Father's Day weekend. Bereaved parents need friends. Now. Today. Everyday. A five minute phone call can help so much by letting us know you care! God bless every family who is feeling the heartbreak of losing a child today!

Father, Yahweh, I pray today for Silent Grief, and all who have lost a child. or a grandchild.  I pray that You will hold them as close to Your heart as You hold the child they love and lost.

Father, bless them today.
