No child should be afraid to sleep and no parent should ever have to watch their child be sick.
We pray for a miracle, but if the miracle doesn't come, I pray that you'll find peace and comfort. I believe that part of being strong is knowing when it is time to let go. It doesn't mean you failed. It just means you were fighting harder than you ever have. I pray also that your family does not lose faith. God has a plan, even if it doesn't make any sense. You're a beautiful, remarkable child and you will never be forgotten. Even if you leave us, you'll live on through the people you inspired. ![]() We have hundreds of ways to express our feelings, through words and gestures both large and small. All too often however, we keep our feelings to ourselves assuming that those we care for know how much they mean to us. The truth is they often don’t. The next chance you get, tell that special someone how much joy, they bring into your life. Let them know how special they are to you. Think of a friend that is dear to you and that you haven’t connected with lately. Pick up the phone and give her/him a call. It will make your whole day and brighten hers/his too.
You know what it’s like when you get together with a close friend whom you haven’t seen for a long time? It’s like you’ve never been apart; you just pick up where you left off. Your connection with your friend goes back to all your shared experiences, values, feelings and emotions. Time does not diminish those in any way. Your connection endures time and remains strong. Nothing enriches your life like a solid friendship. Remember when you were first in love?
Remember the small things you did to show your love to your boyfriend/girlfriend? Things like a phone call in the middle of the day just to talk or say “I love you,” a love note left in his car, a foot massage, simple gifts, and cooking romantic dinners. Remember those days? As time passes you get weighted down with simply living life and forget all those things that made the difference in the beginning. Rekindle and reconnect with your relationship by consciously going back and doing the things that you did when your love first began to grow. Who knows? You may fall in love all over again! Is something worth the effort, the sacrifice, the angst, the tension? It’s
understandably, if you are of the opinion that time has either run out and little hope exists of salvaging something within a relationship or arrangement, or investing more time and effort will result only in more frustration. Progress in the form of a positive shift is imminent. Have that long overdue progressive communication. It might be small but can't be overlooked or ignored. Those who have lost a loved one, it can be a difficult time each year. It is hard to know, how to handle the holidays with that person suddenly absent from your life. All of the traditions seem inextricably tied to them, and you might not be able to figure out what to do without them.
Here are some suggestions to help you cope. Write a letter to your loved one telling them how you feel. Light a candle in their memory. Place their favourite flowers on their resting place. Dedicate an ornament on the tree in their memory. Walk down memory lane with the most cherished memories of your loved one. Watch the old home videos remembering them fondly. Take time out to pamper yourself. I am sure your loved one would want to. Give yourself permission to grieve. You have the right to cherish the memories of a loved one you have lost and to spend holidays in your own way. |
