Help Endure A Loss
| "Parents Prayer" By James Vinson For all those who have ever lost a CHILD, this is for you! We are the parents of a loved lost one Some to a daughter, others to a son Some didn't make it onto this earth Some made it, just past their birth Some only a few years, and some made it through Into their teens and adult lives too But, whatever the reason that they are gone Their memory will flow through us like a sweet song Always touching our hearts, in so many ways Filling us with their love, for the rest of our days So we send our prayers high above And ask for understanding, healing and your love To help get us through our grief together Because we know the pain will last forever So we ask that you keep them safe and sound Until the day, that we come around And enter the heavens and open the doors So we can meet our loved one at the pearly shores |
We have to say that the HEAL program is the best
one on one theraputical progrms there is for grieving
parents who have lost a chlid. They offer group
meetings also on a monthly basis. And have many
activities for Parents, Including a tree Lighting

and learn ways to help cope without Matthew. She
has become more than a friend, she has become
part of our family. A big sister, sort of! Please, if
you have ever lost a child, contact them to see if
they may be of help to you!

| The gift of healing is an ever-changing journey. The path is sometimes smooth, the road is sometimes rough. But always, the journey is a beautiful tapestry woven of yesterday's memories and tomorrow's dreams. The gift of healing is an ever-changing journey with threads of faith and courage intertwined among gentle colors of hope. And though the road is sometimes long, and our hearts sometimes grow weary, there is joy in the knowledge that we are walking ever closer to the healing gift of peace. By Kimberly Rinehart |

During the service names of our children are read and we light a candle in honor of our children. there are many other readings including poems, like the one I have at the top of the page. It is a very cleansing and heart touching ceremony. And a beautiful way to celebrate the memory of your child. |
