International Bereaved Mothers Day

May 1, 2016 · Leave a Comment

 

Did you know today is International Bereaved Mother’s Day. The Sunday before Mother’s Day was honored for mothers who have had to say goodbye to their children too soon. It was founded by Carlie Marie in 2010 for us moms who have lost our precious ones to remember, to cherish and honor a day just for us. Grieving a child is no pain I would want anyone to feel but the truth is many moms have experienced this unimaginable loss such as myself.

I was never ready for her to leave. I was never ready for her to be in the arms of Jesus before I was. I was never ready for my heart to be broken and my soul to feel completely lost. When you lose a baby you also lose all of the years that could have come. The first tooth lost, the birthdays that were to be celebrated, the first day of school, so many firsts and other milestones that are celebrated.

My heart is with all of your precious mamas today. You are brave. You are courageous. You are a mother. I honor you. I respect you. I admire you.

To my daughter Payton.

You have changed me entirely from that moment I held you ten years ago. That moment when life and death met in instant and my heart felt like it was completely shattered never to be mended. As the years went by and life continued with out you I faced my grief and pain head on with the bittersweet intertwined feelings of sorrow and gladness of living. Missing you had stripped my soul bare but strengthened my heart and filled it with compassion and joy. Through all the waves of grief and sorrow that seemed like it would never end unexpectedly arises courage and bravery I never knew I had. All because of you. I have experienced the deepest joy through my deepest grief. Today I do not live in pain but in complete joy and hope in the moment I will hold you again in Heaven. To be your mama and have a heart that longs for you I would choose it again. No matter the time and distance I’ll find my way back to you. We love and miss you today sweet girl and I know you are waiting for me.

Chalkola + Birthday

We celebrated our sweet girl turning 12 years old! She loves all things horses, rainbows, and farm animals. I loved being able to spoil her with her favorites for the day. Riding horses, horse and rainbow cake, family time, pizza, and this adorable Chalkola Chalkboard. I am not an artist but the Chalkola brand chalk […]

His Love

This world is full of sorrow and suffering and death. But thankfully, this world isn’t it for us. Because of God’s greatest gift of salvation, we have the hope of the world to come, where there is no suffering and peace surpasses everything.  The storms that are raging and crashing all around us….will stop. That sickness […]
