When my grief,
takes a hold of me
when blinded by
all the tears I see.
That’s when I call,
on God’s grace
to shine His glory
on my weeping face.
When my pain,
makes me writhe
and I find it
so hard to breathe.
That’s when I call,
on God’s mercy
to keep my faith
in Him sturdy.
When my grief,
starts to surface
I know for my pain
God has a purpose!
~~~~~
“The Lord is nigh unto them
that are of a broken heart;
and saveth such as be of
a contrite spirit.”

I forgot to say add I do.. miss my mam in law her very unique essence but I carry it with me always in my heart..there’ll never be another like her for sure.. same as her son Ron I knew him only a little while compared to herself as a mammy.. but he left some memories ..while he was here with me.. if only a few he was no angel at times he was who he was supposed to be but he did have a good soul underneath you could tell.. God must have reasons to take them way too soon..it’s ours to try figure it all out in he end.. .lifes a mystery at times they do say God moves in mysterious ways he certainly does at times where things lead us to guide us to .. in our lives too..ttfn..

I do believe God has His reasons for taking some to be with Him before we think He should . . . I don’t know what those reasons are, but I can rest assured that He does and as you said “He move in mysterious ways” and they are not our ways at times! ~ Blessings ~

Gut/heart.. renching poem.. thank you for sharing.. if I could make it or kiss it all better for you I would. all..your pain….I watched my dear mammy in law Sarah..doing the same she lost her youngest son.Ron… years ago but I never forget it ever.. listening to it….the crying sobbing especially at night into her pillow.into the small hours bless her… when I used to sleep there..stop over..yes let’s hope there is a reason or rhyme to it for..all.. she always said after it happened too God is good .. so.. she had faith hope like you too.. she never could put it into words talk about it.. but you knew she was feeling it..her therapy was always helping others with anything.. she was never bitter..even after her son.. loss …she want ever the same lady// but she went on and did the same until she died.. so..very courageous brave too.. I loved her.. very much.. God Bless her she’s long gone now..and maybe in heaven where I think she deserves to be with her precious son..too .. take care.. x Love hugs.. God Bless you..
I married/wed her other precious eldest son.. so she’s still around in him and.. my son and grandson.. which brings me some comfort also..

Thank you Angela Mary . . . God has been so good to me and has given me great peace and has comforted my grieving heart . . . Glenn would have been 43 next Saturday and I struggle every year with losing him as the days approach his birthday. So, I write what I am feeling and then turn my sadness and grief back over to God. My solace comes in knowing my tears He is gathering and they are not shed for naught. I have seen and read about a lot of different types of grieving and know people who like your mother in law cry long into the night. I pray for all who are grieving long into the night that they will find “joy in the morning” in the hopes of seeing their loved one again! Though my son isn’t here with me physically he will always be with me in my heart 🙂 ~ Blessings to you and yours Angela Mary may you be blessed with joy and peace ~ Deborah Ann
