shattered ... weary ... confused ....

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

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

Silent Grief speaks today about ... confusion ...  

When a child dies part of us dies, too. Children are "life", and they are our future as well as our present. When we lose a child so many of our hopes and dreams die and we are left wondering how to pick up the broken pieces and rebuild some kind of life that has meaning. It's not easy -- not one little bit of it! It can take years to gather up enough strength to look to the future with new hopes and dreams. And, sometimes, that never happens.

That's just what losing a child does to a person's heart -- we are left shattered and weary and confused.

May today be a more calm day in the journey of child loss for all who are traveling this harsh, unknown path!

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.
