Words of
Encouragement
For every mother out there who is experiencing a loss, my deepest heartfelt condolences go
out to you and your families. I can’t say I know exactly how you feel, but I can say that I sympathize with you for your loss. You are strong, you are loved and you will make it through
this season in your life. I know that at times such a this we often look for someone or something to blame. Sadly, people tend to blame God for “taking away” their loved one. However,
I pray that you can find some sort of comfort in knowing that God is surely with you and he
has NOT forgotten you. Although you may be hurting, know this one thing, God loves you
and he cares for you. Nothing he does or allows is done out of anything but love for us, and
his word reassures us that in our time of grief we will be comforted. Matthew 5:4 “Blessed
are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” And the book of Psalms tells us that
though you may be weeping, joy will come again. Not that you would ever forget your love
one, but joy in this life is still available to you. “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy
comes in the morning” (Psalms 30:5). Cry when you need to cry, it’s O.K. You are certainly allowed to feel what you feel, and no one can tell you “how” to handle the pain you’re experiencing, but I will tell you this… don’t stay in your grief forever and die. Take the time you
need to grieve, but strive to keep living! This is a sensitive time and for some the mind can
conjure up thoughts of death or suicide, but I bind those thoughts NOW in the name of Jesus! You shall live and not die. You can’t afford to die in your grief. Live again precious mom.
Be encouraged and know you’re not alone, and that this is not your end. I love you and if
you are in need of support or help with the thoughts or emotions you’re feeling be sure to
reach out to SOMEONE for help. Be encouraged precious mom.
