Pain Is Inevitable-Suffering Is Optional

"I don’t believe that time heals all wounds. Time simply goes by us. Time becomes one year, five years, ten years, and now, in our case, decades. Time passes and our lives continue day-after-day, whether we want them to or not. What time does do is give us the space to process our thoughts and choose to heal. If we honestly look at ourselves in the mirror, we realize that grieving doesn’t just go away, and existing in a nothing-less life is totally exhausting. We see others living life around us; and we secretly want to be like them. We choose to step from the emptiness to something half-way normal again. We re-invest in life."

A Mothers Letter To Heaven


A MOTHERS LETTER TO HEAVEN"

I SIT AND WRITE THIS LETTER
WITH TEARS RUNNING DOWN MY FACE
BUT I KNOW DEEP IN MY HEART
YOU ARE IN A SPECIAL PLACE

I THINK BACK TO THE TIME
WHEN GOD GAVE YOU TO ME
I HELD YOU IN MY ARMS
AS HAPPY AS I COULD BE

FIRST WORDS FIRST STEP FIRST SMILE
I WAS THERE TO SEE YOU GROW
YOU GAVE ME SUCH HAPPINESS
MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW

TEENAGE YEARS YOU HAD YOUR FEARS
BUT TOGETHER WE GOT THROUGH
IN GOOD TIMES AND IN BAD TIMES
I WAS ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU

I (WATCHED) YOU GROW AND LOVED YOU SO
SO PROUD OF WHAT YOU HAD BECOME
YOU WOULD ALWAYS BE MY BABY
AND I WILL ALWAYS BE YOUR MUM

THE DAY YOU DIED HOW MUCH I CRIED
MY HEART WAS BROKE IN TWO
HOW COULD I LIVE IN A WORLD
HOW COULD I GO ON WITHOUT YOU

BUT I KNOW YOU ARE STILL HERE
I FEEL YOU NEAR ME EVERYDAY
YOU LEAVE WHITE FEATHERS EVERYWHERE
I KNOW (YOU'RE) NEVER FAR AWAY

I SWEAR I HEAR YOUR VOICE
TELLING ME I LOVE YOU MUM
ONE DAY WE WE WILL BE TOGETHER
I KNOW THAT DAY WILL COME

REST IN PEACE MY CHILD
I SEND THIS LETTER WITH ALL MY LOVE
UPON THE WINGS OF AN ANGEL
TO HEAVEN UP ABOVE

KNOWING DEATH IS NOT THE END
HELPS TO EASE THE PAIN
BY HEAVENS GATE I KNOW YOU WAIT
TILL WE ARE TOGETHER ONCE AGAIN

To My Dearest One On Earth

My dearest one, I'm sending this letter from above.
I know right now (you're) missing me, I can feel your love.
You think about my birthday, and the day I had to leave.
But always remember this: I don't wish for you to grieve.

When I wrote my first letter, from Heaven on that day,
I wanted you to understand, that I was doing okay.
I knew the hurt of losing me, would take time for you to heal,
And even though it's been awhile, to you, it seems unreal.

But Mom, here in Heaven, with Jesus by my side,
The Golden Gate will open, when you come here to reside.
I know it's difficult for you, to understand your pain,
But once you arrive in Heaven, it will all be explained.

It's okay for you to cry, just let the tears give way,
Then tilt your head and look above, you'll feel my touch today.
Just keep the faith, believe my words, you'll see the morning light.
God and I are with you, every morning, noon and night.
