Prayer Circles

Dear All :) ~ I have not posted in quite a while, but I have kept all of you in my prayers. Thanks for keeping me in your prayers! I am currently taking physical therapy for my hand and arm, and have been advised to give both a rest, so that the healing could take place. Well, I've done that! Ha-ha! Now, I will do my best to catch up on back post. :) I have really missed everyone. I have also tried to keep up with reading back post, and will try to post to everyone within the next few days. :) I ask that you all continue to pray for divine healing of my hand and arm, because I get so much satisfaction from keeping in touch with all the wonderful moms who post here. Even when I can't post, I always know that I can come here and read, and pray for everyone -- That God will give each of you those moments of relief from grief, and provide those precious moments of peace for which we all pray.

Dear Father, ~ Thank You for the breath of life. Thank You for family and friends who pray for all who have lost a precious child or children. Thank You for giving each of us the strength that we need to go on; Sometimes minute by minute -- Especially on those special days. Lord, we know that our children are with You in heaven, and we thank You for the times we shared with our children while they were here on earth. And, we thank You for the unconditional love which will always exist between a mother and her child! And though we will always miss their physical presence, thank you for allowing us to feel our children's spirit so strongly on some days! Thank you also, God, for the fond memories that we cling to; memories that take away some of the sting of missing our children so. But, most of all, Father, thank you for giving your Son,... providing each of us with the blessed assurance that we will, indeed, see our precious children again someday -- FOREVERMORE! In Your Son, Jesus' name I pray, Amen!

Hello Verna! I'm so happy to see a post from you! We've all missed you here, but taking care of your own health is more important - but you know you're always in our love and prayers.
I know that the physical therapy is going to work wonders with your hand and arm. But the great physician Himself, Our Lord Jesus, will heal you through your great faith. We all join in praying for this Divine intervention.
A beautiful prayer once again for all, I love the line where you ask for the strength we need, minute by minute, because sometimes that's the way we're feeling, especially on our bad, or 'valley' days. We're very happy that you're feeling better, and welcome back to the Circle! Love and prayers to you,
Luv Sandy

Dear Sandy and Everyone,
Hello to all, I hope this finds everyone doing ok today. I'm doing ok, it's just that I've been somewhat depressed lately and haven't really felt like writing, but I do read everyday and you are all kept in my prayers. Fall time is a difficult time for me and my family. Joe's anniversary is the 20th of Nov. It will be 3 years this year and I think that is hitting me harder for some reason, the length of time it's been since he's been gone. I have so many mixed emotions about it and I can't seem to do anything about any of it. I don't know what to do sometimes with myself.
~~~Anyway, I have been keeping myself busy helping my daughter get ready for the arrival of her baby girl due Oct. 23rd. Just 2 weeks away. We have thouroughly enjoyed our new granddaughter Zoe who is 7 weeks old now, my son's daughter. She's a real blessing to me and my husband. We just can't get enough of her. We see her about once a week. We got to babysit for the first time last week and that was a real joy! I like being a gramma!~~~
It seems so much pain here lately. And new moms coming on to express their loss. Please know that each and everyone are in my prayers and I always think of my compassionate friends here at this circle of prayer. This circle has helped me alot to express just how I feel without being judged. Thanks to all of you for being here. It truly helps to know we are not alone in our grief. And Our Father in heaven is right beside us through it all even if we don't feel it. He is holding us up as others are praying for us to get us through day by day.
~~~ Dear Jesus, I ask You today to hold each and every Mom here close to Your side and let them feel Your presence today. I ask You to show us your love and Lord guide our steps to a closer walk with You as we learn to live with our loss of our child or children. I surrender my loss of my son Joseph to you today and I release him to Your care. Wrap Your loving arms around each one today and bless them in Jesus Name, Amen. God Bless all of you today.
Love, Yvonne<><

Dear Elparro, ~ I just wanted to let you know how sorry I am to read about the loss of your precious son, Matthew. My prayers are with you today. I lost my 36 year old daughter, Diane, in a chain reaction wreck on Aug. 31, 1996. I still have my valley days, but the constant minute by minute pain that I experienced in the beginning stages are not so intense now. Over the years, I have learned that by expressing my pain, and talking about my child with others whom I know understand,I am able to continue making progress, one day at a time. Your grief is so new, bless your heart, no doubt you are still in shock and the pain and loss that you are feeling are very difficult to describe. It's been six a little over six years for me, and I still feel there are no words that can describe what it feels like to lose a child. Please know that I, and the other Moms who post here, can relate to what you are going through at this stage of your grieving process. May it help to know that we share your heartfelt pain. You may be sure that Sandy, the other bereaved moms, and I, have you and your family covered in our heartfelt prayers. May God give you the kind of peace that only He can provide; today,... minute by minute, hour by hour, and in the days, weeks, and months ahead.

LOVE2U

Hi Sandy,Debby, Yvonne, and all the other bereaved moms, ~ I pray that our Lord and Savior will continue to guide us in our efforts to reach out to our newly bereaved moms, to pray for them, as well as for each other, even as we are grieving. I would also like to thank all our moms for praying for others, even as they themselves are grieving. As we all know, the power of prayer is tremendous; and there is no prayer request that God cannot hear.:) Even during times when we cannot pray, God knows our hearts and supplies our needs. Even when we can't feel His presence, He is still there for us, and will never leave us; especially during our valley days! It is my prayer that God reveals Himself to each of us today, and in the days, weeks, and months ahead. :) And, as always, may He give each of us those precious moments of peace for which we all pray!
LOVE2U ALL:)

Dear All, ~ As Sandy would say,triple the post, triple the blessing! :)

Dear Selvam, ~ I just clicked back on and read your post. I am so very sorry to read about the loss of your precious 20 year old daughter. I can feel your pain, and my heart goes out to you! I have been where you are at this very moment. As I just shared with another newly bereaved Mom in one of my post above, there are no words to describe a mother's pain when she loses her child. As Sandy and the other moms will tell you, when we lose our children, a part of us goes with our children. The hard part is learning to go on, to regain our will to live in spite of the indescribable pain which we are feeling. I learned many, many months after my daughter's sudden and tragic death, that I should have sought counseling very early on in my grieving. I also learned that I should have told my doctor what had happened. Instead, I tried to deal with it on my own. No one; not even my closest family members knew how close I came to giving up. Not one, not two, but three times during that first year, I thought long and hard about ending my life. The pain was just that great. Having these feelings are a part of the grieving process; but must not be acted upon. Only in time did I discover the truth. The truth which I speak of is this: I didn't want to die. What I really wanted was to stop hurting! There are many, many other moms who have posted at this very site that will tell you the very same thing. I urge you to read some of the back post so that you will discover that the grief and pain you are feeling so deeply is a normal part of the grieving process. It takes a lot of time to reach a point in your grieving where you will begin to feel longer and longer periods of relief from the seemingly never-ending heartfelt pain. Even after the passing of time, you will still have periods when something or someone will remind you of your loss. That is also very normal, and to be expected. Once you learn to understand and accept these feelings, as a part of your grief process, you will begin to accept the challenge to move on; but in a different way. Most importantly, you must give yourself all the time you fell you need to grieve your loss. There is no set time for one to grieve; especially the loss of a child. Please know that all the moms who post here care deeply about your loss and what you are going through. Those of us who have been on our grief journey a little longer and have received the kind of encouragement that helped us to move on in spite of our grief ... can tell you; You will not always feel the way you are feeling right now. A year can and often does seem more like a day, when it comes to grieving the loss of one's child. So, be kind to yourself. You deserve to pamper yourself. Don't worry if others seem to think you should be farther along in your grieving process! No one can determine this but you and God! Trust me and some of the other moms on this. And, please, read every word of Sandy's post to you. She is the best when it comes to advising moms who are having what we refer to as a valley day or valley period. I pray that as I type this post, that Sandy or Yvonne, or Debby, or any of the other moms will verify the things I am telling you. If no one has been on to read your post since I read it, please read some of the back pages. They are filled with advice on getting through the valley days! I pray that I have given you the kind of advice that will help in some small way. Just hang in there, and the other moms are sure to provide you with additional ways of coping with your loss. Many will share titles of books on the grieving process, which have proven to be helpful to them. Many of those books are already listed in posts on some of the previous pages. You can also visit the MADD site online and request many of their free pamphlets on grieving the sudden and tragic loss of a child; even if drunk driving was not involved. The advice is still helpful. As will the other bereaved moms ... I will keep you and your precious daughter in my heartfelt prayers.
LOVE2U,
Verna

Thank you so much for your kind words it is important to talk to people who understand. I have red many of the above message. I am seeking prof. help but no help so far. I am praying and learning how to meditate and taking prozac, but the pain just increases every day and I miss her so much. I will pray for you and everyody in this circle She was my only daughter, a very happy child, she felt sleep while driving (no alcohol involved), all I have left is one brother and my wonderful friends.May God Bless You All. I builded a Memorial her name is Solange Menendez, you will find it under the memorials. Selva

Shanes Mom,
I have lost my only son this year. Your words ring so true for me also. I feel your grief. A grief that will never be erased. I have periods of overwhelming grief and a hole in my heart that will never be filled. My son was only 30 years old. You are all other parents that have had to bury one of their chldren are in my daily prayers.
In Gods Love,
Chadds Mom

Hello Selva, and welcome to this Circle.
I'm so sorry to read of the loss of your beloved daughter Solange. I can also read your pain through your post, God bless you. Verna, (love2u) gave you some very good advice, some of us are further along the Journey of Grief than others, but that first year or so of tremendous all-consuming pain is forever etched in our hearts and minds. Like Verna and some other moms, I also wanted to die that first year, I would pray every night asking God to bring me home too, the pain of losing my Shane was that great. I joined a support group for Bereaved Parents, and they were a big help to me. Do you have one in your area? By talking about your pain, your feelings, you're able to let some of the pain out, and that starts the slow process of learning how to deal with it, your loss. As Verna indicated, read everything you can on a loss of a child, those books also helped me out, just knowing that there were other parents out there who understood what no one else could. I'm very happy to read that you've reached out to your Dr. for help, that's wonderful, please keep it up even though you don't think it's doing you any good. And here, at this Circle, you can freely talk about how you're feeling, we all honour each other's feelings here, there's no judgements, only love, support, compassion, understanding and lots of prayer. That's terrific that you built a Memorial Site for your sweet Solange, it's a way to honour her life, and the joy and love that you and she shared, and continue to share. Love is eternal, it never dies, so hold onto that, your love for each other is always there. You may feel alone Selva, but you're not, now you have this Circle of such amazing moms, and God will never desert you! Anytime you want to post here, and I pray that you will, you'll come to realize that you're not alone, we're all here for each other, and as Verna said, be gentle with yourself, your grief is still new, and the pain still great. My fervent prayers are with you sweetie, as are all the other moms, may God bless you, lean on Him for strength, and post here whenever you feel like it, we're all travelling down the same road. Love and prayers to you,
Luv Sandy

Hello ChaddsMom, and welcome to the Circle. We all belong to a club that we'd much rather not belong to, but this common bond brings us together, and we receive strength and love from each other. I'm so very sorry to read about losing your cherished son, I can feel your pain too through your post. The grief is terrible, and you've just lost your son, so it's very fresh and raw for you right now. A part of you has gone with your child, and the void left behind is so painful. I truly believe that only another parent who has gone through this understands how deep our pain is, and how we live with it all the time. You will experience overwhelming periods of grief, there's no way around it, and we all here at this Circle understand how you're feeling right now. As I said to Selva, the first year of my Shane's passing, I just didn't want to live, the pain was so great. But with lots of help, and lots of prayer, I made it through that first year, and now it's been 3 years for me. If you're overwhelmed by your grief sweetie, please don't hesitate to reach out for help, see your Dr., join a support group, and you can always post how you're feeling here, we all understand! Give yourself plenty of time, grieve at your own pace, and I pray that you have loving support around you to help you and to be able to talk about your beloved son and how you're feeling. We think that no one else could possibly understand what we're going through, or how we're feeling, but all the wonderful moms here do, and together you can lean on us and on God, you're not alone, you're part of our family now. I found doing something to honour my Shane's life helped me a great deal too, keeping his memory alive. And also reading, as Verna and I told Selva, there are so many good books out there that truly speak to your heart about your aching loss. The hole in your heart is that part of you that went with your son, and together we learn how to live with that void. I feel your grief and your pain, God bless you, and please post here anytime! you'll only find love, support and understanding, love at this Circle. Talking about your son, and your pain is a way of letting the pain out, and that starts us on the road to slowly healing, so please post back here whenever you feel like it, we all will lift you up in prayer, understanding and love. Much love and prayers to you,
Luv Sandy

Hello Yvonne, it's so nice to hear from you, I had a feeling when you didn't make your weekly post that you were going through a rough patch. I'm so sorry that you're having a hard time. I do think that because you're coming up on Joe's 3rd year Anniversary that it's bringing up difficult times and feelings for you. I think you're like me, and just plain miss our boy's. I also went through a rough few days last week, and it's because it's hit me that I haven't seen, heard, or talked to Shane for 3 years. And perhaps that's some of the things that you're feeling too. It's very hard to believe sometimes that that amount of time has gone by, and you miss your Joe so much in your life. And you've also had some life changing events this past summer, your Aaron's wedding, the birth of your first grandchild, and all without Joe being there for it. We always wish that our missing child was there to experience these happy family times. So all these things that happen in our lives since our child was called home are bittersweet for us, always in my heart I wish that my Shane was here when something happens in our family. We know our children are with us in spirit, but it's their physical presence in our lives that we miss so much. God bless you, sweetie, you know you're in our love and prayers. I'm so happy for you that you're getting so much joy out of being a grandma to little Zoe! And now preparing for your 2nd grandchild to be born! That's wonderful Yvonne, and I know that this grandchild will bring you so much joy too! Hold in there Yvonne, these rough times we go through do pass, we just have to work through them when they arise with the help of Our Lord. And you know it goes without saying that you're being prayed for and we send our love to you. I know Joe's Anniversary day will be hard on you, but with our prayers and your great faith, you'll get through it. May Our Lord send you Doves to remind you of your Joe, and feel him close to you. Love your prayer at the end Yvonne, and our love and prayers are with you!
Luv Sandy

Hello Verna, I'm so happy to see you back posting too! YES, triple the blessing, :) Reading all the wonderful new moms posts who are newly bereaved is so sad, isn't it. My prayer is that those of us as you said, who are further along on the Journey of Grief, is that we will be of some help to them, and that they realize that they're never alone, we're here for them, and God is always here for them too. Love your beautiful prayer for all, and yes, may God continue to use us to help one another. He's so good to us grieving moms! Father, hear the prayers of your beloved children on these pages, pour your healing balm on their hearts, and let them feel their child, or children, close to them today.
You do hear all our prayers, and you walk with us on our Journey. For this I am eternally grateful. The power of prayer is tremendous, I believe strongly in it and have seen first hand as you all have, how it's helped us in our lives. All of you wonderful moms are in my prayers and love, and we're so blessed that new moms have posted here, through Our Lord, I pray that they will continue to post here and that we're a help to them. May God bless you Verna, as I know He has, and much love and prayers to you,
Luv Sandy

I posted once before. My son Kevin was in a car accident, June 26, and after six days in ICU we lost him. Why? What is the purpose in our losing our beautiful babies? He was so much to me and I love him with all of my heart! How can anyone tell me he is in a better place or his mission was served here and it was his time to go. I still need him and I WANT HIM BACK!!! I cry, I scream, I plead, he was my joy. I still have 4 other children to try to be a great mom to. How do I do that when I feel like this? Kevin was the action in our life. I've always been the one who helped with homework, cleaning, bills, groceries, work, play, etc. etc.. Now I just don't have the energy for it. Now what? What is God's plan?
Lord, help me and anyone else out there feeling like I do the help we need. Lead us to the answers we need. Keep our children in your care and help them to adjust to where they are now. Amen

Hello TKH63, yes, I remember your post well, and I'm happy that you've posted here and were able to vent some of your intense feelings right now. This is a safe place to do it, we all understand, and we honour your feelings here. I did the exact same thing and felt the exact same way over my Shane. I did not want to hear that he was in a better place, or that he was my guardian Angel, or that his mission on earth was over, I just wanted him back, I would get so upset and yes, even angry at those people who would tell me that. I didn't want to have just a picture to look at, I wanted to see him again, sitting on the couch next to me!Your anger and your questions have all been experienced by us all, but don't forget sweetie, it's only been a very short while since you lost your precious Kevin, you're still in a lot of pain. Losing a child is the worst pain that a parent will ever experience, it's hard, it's biting and it's mean. A big part of ourselves goes with our child, and we slowly learn how to live with that void. Our lives are now split in two, the one we shared with our child, and now the one we have to rebuild without them in it. And this takes a lot of time, reflection and prayer. I know it's very hard for you to believe right now, if someone had told me this 3 years ago, I never would have, but the good memories, and the good days will start becoming longer, and the sad days will start to shorten. They'll never go away, if you read some of the posts on this page, you'll see moms who've lost their child a few years ago, like myself, and still have 'valley days' as we call them, when some little thing will cause us great grief and depression. We're all still on the Journey, learning how to start our lives over again, without our child, or in some cases, children, all over again.
Being angry is a normal part of grief, and God understands this! No matter how angry we're feeling, or questioning, He's always there for us, He never leaves our side. Lean heavily on Him, He knows what's in your heart better than we do ourselves, and He'll be there for you even in your darkest times, when you feel completely alone.
Grieving takes a lot out of us, emotionally and physically, so that may be one of the reasons why you're feeling so tired, out of energy. Is there someone, a family member, a friend, who can help you with your other children, when you're having such a hard time right now? Is there a support group in your area that you could join, to talk about your feelings with other moms who've lost a child? Don't be afraid to reach out to your Dr. for help, a lot of us needed that help when we first experienced our child's loss. At the end of your post you've already reached out to God for help, and that's the first start! And you can post here anytime, we all care, and understand, and we'll storm Heaven for prayers for you, Dear Lord, you know what Kevin's mom is going through, you know of her great pain, please wrap her in your loving arms, ease her pain, and give her some peace and supportive people to help her at this time, show her the way and stay close by her side right now. Be gentle with yourself TKH63, and know that you have our support, love, understanding and prayers to see you through this very difficult time for you right now. Please post back and let us know how you're doing, we all care,
Luv Sandy

Hello Peggy (JoeyRick), just a note to let you know that we're praying for you as you mark your son's Anniversary date tomorrow, these special days are so hard on us, sometimes they bring us back to square one, but I hope your day is filled with all the good memories of your son, the love you shared together, and peace in your heart. May God in His goodness bless you and your family,
Luv Sandy

Hello, my name is Janice, I was truly blessed when I saw this site for mother's who had lost child, praying for one another and keeping in touch. I had a child to die with brain cancer in June of 1994. She was diagnosed on November 10, 1993, we stayed in Little Rock Children's Hospital a long time. I thank God for my husband and my family, but I thank God most of all for being saved, and having a personal relationship with HIM, because I wouldn't have, made it this far either. And I was reading some of the different letters, I know what you mean, when the different months that all of the memories, we get out videos and pictures, and it helps so much to be able to share that time with family and loved ones. All of you will be in my prayers. I pray that GOD will strengthen all of us. Everyone take care, and I hope to see a note from you.
Bless all of you!!!
Love always,
Janice.

My daughter's name is Dorothy, and she was 6 years old when she died, she was 5 when she was diagnosed, and lived through her 6th birthday that March 18,1994, and died June 18, 1994. All of you will be in my prayer.
Again, I say bless you, Love you.
Janice

Hello Janice, and welcome to the Circle, I'm so happy that you found us!
I'm so sorry to read about your beloved Dorothy, only 6 years old when she passed over. It must have been such a terrible time for you and your family, first the diagnosis, staying at the hospital with her, and then Our Lord calling her home with Him. It's so painful to lose a child, isn't it. But as I say, love never dies, it's eternal, and one day when it's your turn you'll see your precious Dorothy again! That's so wonderful that you had your husband, family, around you for support, and that your great faith has helped you during this painful time.
Seeing all those photos, videos must bring such comfort to you all, that's the one thing I don't have, is some video of my Shane, it would be so wonderful to be able to see him again on a video. No, I wouldn't have made it this far without God's help either, as I have said, He's so good to us grieving Moms! Thank you so much for your prayer for us all, and I also ask for God's strength for you and His blessings upon you and your family. Please post back whenever you feel up to it, you're part of this Circle now, and together with love, support, understanding and prayer, we welcome you and your precious daughter. Love and prayers to you, Janice,
Luv Sandy
