ALL of our children

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

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

Silent Grief speaks today about ... numbers ...

"How many children do you have?" often becomes a question parents of child loss find so difficult to answer. Why? We know how many children we have, but when we mention our "child who is in heaven" people get squeamish, act uncomfortable, and so many times we only mention our living children in order to avoid explaining child loss to others. Then, guilt sets in because we didn't mention ALL of our children. When will society become more aware of how important it is for parents to talk openly and freely about child loss?

Father, Yahweh, I pray today for Silent Grief, and all who have lost a child. or a loved one.  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.
