If you are healing from the loss of a child

Verse....  "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you asthe world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."  John 14:27



Thought for today...   Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.

This was posted on a message board I frequent and it spoke volumes to me! I guess I am doing pretty well according to this. I dont think people truly understand how hard it is to "function" half-way normal after losing a baby...




If you are healing from the loss of a child and you get out of bed in the morning,

You are doing well.



If you healing from the loss of a child and you hold down a job,

You are amazing.



If you are healing from the loss of a child and and you are still remotely pleasant to others,

You are a lot nicer than me.



If you are healing from the loss of a child and you cannot always be there for a friend,

You are still a good friend and a strong enough person to know what is best for you.





If you are healing from the loss of a child and you cry daily or have nightmares,

You are normal.



If you are healing from the loss of a child and seeing happy, healthy pregnant women makes you sad, angry, jealous and worse,

Join the club



If you are healing from the loss of a child and think that what happened was your fault,

you are wrong, but you are not alone.



If you are healing from the loss of a child and feel like your significant other truly understands and is 100% supportive,

He or she is rare and a keeper.



If you are healing from the loss of a child and you have a good support system,

It will help A LOT.



If you are healing from the loss of a child and feel painfully alone and isolated,

Please know that there are thousands of people healing with you in spirit.



If you are healing from the loss of a child but still looking to the future,

you are a survivor.
