SORROW IN THE WOMB

There is nothing holier than the sound of the silent heartbeat of a child wrapped inside the womb of its mother tied to her through an inner connecting cord of life.  Many babies are able to travel through the birth canal after nine months and are cut free from that life-bond cord to live on their own.  Then there are those who were not able to make it through the canal to journey into life outside the womb.  Those moms remain heartbroken because that life inside of them did not get to finish in their creation.  Left to suffer through interior grief, the silent heartache of parents remain hidden for their child every single day, especially on every uncelebrated birthday.  

There are no human words that bring comfort.  Nothing nor anyone can ever replace or fill the void of that beautiful life that started its journey, but came to a sudden end.  Only the hurtful pangs of an unfinished birth echo a deep remembrance for a life that could have been.  The multitude of tears inside your soul also fall from the eyes of a loving God who cries with and within you because God does know what it feels like to lose a child.

Herein lies a truth:  that life remains alive inside the hearts and souls of those whose love for each other interconnected two one-of-a-kind seeds bound together in the rarest moment of time and that miraculous connection will forever carry the memory of that precious life within them.  May you find consolation in knowing that child is love and that love is imprinted deep within you tied by a divine cord that will bind you forever.

“When you were born, your umbilical cord wasn't cut.”  Ezekiel 16:4a

GREED AND GRIEF

GREED AND GRIEF No doubt after the death of a loved one, money issues can arise that can cause disparity and disruption inside a family relationship.  Suddenly, folks who were scarce come out to claim their share of the family money pie.  The death of a loved one doesn’t always bring out the best in people as it can bring out emotions of entitlement, especially when larger sums of money are on the line.  Trying to deal with these difficult issues can harvest a variety of negative emotions and really can make it extremely messy inside the family system.  It’s always hard to put a price or value to one’s life after death, let alone trying to satisfy the financial quest of those who become filled with greed.   Greed is an emotion that can compromise one’s values – not value in terms of money, but the values we hold in our own self-worth.  Greed always begs one to ask themselves this question:  Is my greed really worth It? If you are dealing with fami...

HATE

HATE.   We should all hate the word hate.  Hate is an extreme and real feeling people can have for another.  Hate is holding a deep hostility with such an intensity, especially when someone has been wronged or deeply hurt by another.  Hate is derived from fear, anger or sense of injury.  In the case of grief, issues of hate can arise when someone we love has been injured or died because they were wronged by another, regardless of whether the act was intentional or accidental.  The problem with hate is that it can become all-consuming and fill our minds with such negativity and darkness.  Hate can and will stunt our emotional maturity.   When someone has been wronged by another resulting in the death of a loved one, it would be almost impossible not to experience the feelings of hatred toward the person who committed the act.   But working through the multitude of feelings that hatred can spring within, there should be more dist...

GRIEF AFTER DIVORCE OR BROKEN RELATIONSHIP

Image
GRIEF AFTER DIVORCE/RELATIONSHIP BREAK-UP Grieving after a divorce or breaking off a relationship with someone you once deeply cared for means taking a different road down the journey of grief.  Regardless, you still need to take the time to grieve the loss of an important relationship.  Not all relationships can bear the weightiness of working through disagreements, conflicts, jealousies, immaturity, and a variety of issues that crop up in staying unified in a relationship that involves two very different people.  Personalities, life experiences, conflict resolution and getting through tough situations takes a lot of communication and the ability to compromise, forgive, change direction and working together no longer works.  Many couples simply have a difficult time trying to maneuver through many of those life challenges.  Still, there remains an inner sadness because what was once a love story has soured into a relationship ending, oftentimes with unkind thou...
