Significant loss can be raw and new. Grief also has a way of revisiting us on holidays or anniversaries. Either way, its force can be unexpected and overwhelming. It throws us off course, filling us with despair and emotional pain that feels unbearable.
Perhaps "Hope's Whisper" will help you move through this day.
**********************************************************************************************
Where is hope when you’re in despair,
When grief engulfs you everywhere?
Hope is in the light that filters down,
A dim ray at first, upon your frown.
Hope’s glow then shines into your heart,
And gently whispers, “Once more, start.”
It warms you from the inside out,
And in that warmth, you move through doubt.
Next thing you know, faith tiptoes in,
Beaming bright upon your long-lost grin.
Hope and faith shine together with Love,
To light your path from powers above.
Take heart as you move through this day, these hours.
My son passed away on December 21st. A great friend gave me your book, rays of hope. Its beautiful. Thank you.
