| Grief and pain are the price we humans pay for the love and total commitment we have for another person. The more we love, the greater the pain. But, would we have it any other way? Memories are a gift from God, to those left behind. They bring comfort, joy, and laughter. They enable one to live on forever in the hearts of those they loved. ~ Author Unknown ~ |

| My Grief is Like a River My grief is like a river-- I have to let it flow, But I myself determine Just where the banks will go. Some days the current takes me In waves of guilt and pain, But there are always quiet pools Where I can rest again. I crash on rocks of anger-- My faith seems faint indeed, But there are other swimmers Who know that what I need Are loving hands to hold me When the waters are too swift, And someone kind to listen When I just seem to drift. Grief's river is a process Of relinquishing the past. By swimming in Hope's channels I'll reach the shore at last. Author Unknown |
