I WILL ROAM
I cry myself to sleep
Behind closed doors I weep
But I make it day by day
God you have showed me the way
I feel the pain, hurt & sorrow
Because of You, I live for tomorrow
I cry myself to sleep
Behind closed doors I weep
But I make it day by day
God you have showed me the way
I feel the pain, hurt & sorrow
Because of You, I live for tomorrow
The following piece was sent to me by a fellow grieving dad, Kirk L. The topic is based on how our friends respond to us after our losses, how our circle of friends change and our new perspective on our own demise. I have spoken to many grieving parents and almost to a dad, most no longer fear death. Feel free to weigh in on this topic.
SOMEONE once asked me, "What is the best way to deal with the grief of loss?" I had to think for a while, but in the end came an answer true to my own experience. The answer in truth is captured in the above quote; this is no new answer; it is as old as the ancients and anyone may apply its wisdom.
Talk about the extremities of human emotion and nothing compares to the disparity between love gained and love lost. Life can mean acceptance, excitement and joy, or equally it can prove a destination of despair, drudgery and hopelessness.
Valentine’s Day, Past and Present…
When some one we love dies, days on the calendar take on a new meaning. Days that once were full of joyful anticipation can now be a cause for dread and fear. Knowing that we can no longer celebrate special days without our loved ones has changed every holiday and other special days.
Happy holidays?!? Your love one has died, your world has been turned upside down, and all you want is the one thing that you cannot have --your loved one back. The rest of the world goes on with the parties, the celebrations, the lights and the cheer, and you want more than anything to magically skip this season. What do you do?
