This is your story, and it’s personal. Some will find it healing to talk about it, and some will never mention it. And that’s okay.
But if you know anyone who has suffered the loss of their mother, or a child, or infertility, be gentle and be compassionate. If they don't want to attend church or Sunday brunch, bring Sunday brunch to them. Remember, some of us can't help the tragedies that have befallen us. We have to cope with deep wounds through no fault of our own, therefore, a hug and an understanding heart is always appreciated.
I am grateful there is a date set aside on our calendars to honor moms for all their hard work and sacrifice. However, I know firsthand that, for some, this day is just a painful reminder of loss.
When I awoke this morning, I read a text from my friend: "T passed overnight." I didn't know this precious 93 day old, but my heart has been aching for his family as they've lived life in the NICU since his birth...
On August 26, 2021, a friend and former writer passed away from a weeks-long battle with coronavirus.
While it's not something particularly pleasant to consider, I firmly believe that we have an obligation as parents to teach our children how to mourn as surely as we teach them to ride a bike.
Everyone's journey is different; he or she might want to test new ways to live and want someone to discuss this with. Genuinely listen to thoughts, hopes, and fears. Be a safe place for the person when he or she wants to dream and live well to the very end.
