Grief Unwinding

 

Sorrow you can hold, however desolating, if nobody speaks to you.  If they speak, you break down.  
~Bede Jarrett

 
While grief is fresh, every attempt to divert only irritates.  You must wait till it be digested, and then amusement will dissipate the remains of it.  
~Samuel Johnson 


 Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak whispers the o'er-fraught heart and bids it break.  
~William Shakespeare



Grief is itself a medicine.  
~William Cowper, Charity


Man, when he does not grieve, hardly exists.  
~Antonio Porchia, Voces, 1943

 



Sorrow makes us all children again - destroys all differences of intellect.  The wisest know nothing.  
~Ralph Waldo Emerson







Even hundredfold grief is divisible by love.  ~Jareb Teague


We're counting on it...

Praying for you all. I'm so sad for you and for little Keira. But I am so confident ALSO that HE who began this good work in your home WILL COMPLETE IT and WILL use it to bring glory to His name. When you are too tired and heart sore to believe it yourself, remember that there are those of out there that are believing it on your behalf.

Hugs to you my friend.

I am sorry that her little heart was and is breaking. I am happy, however that you recognize it for what it is, and that you are able to keep in mind that it is a very healthy and much needed process.

I am excited for you to start seeing glimpses of her beautiful little personality shine through. Bless you for helping her little heart to heal.

My heart breaks for what these tiny babies have to endure.
While in our heads we know grieving is appropiate, our hearts want to stop the pain.
Hugs

Thank you for sharing this. This is the part that I am trying to prepare my heart for because I know our little girl is going to grieve for the lost she experiences.

Oh Christie, my heart just breaks for little Keira! She is going to be fine I know, but how hard it must be for both of you to know that her little heart is broken and for right now, cannot be fixed.
We love you all and send our support to you as well during this rough time.
Life will be so good for her and happy. She is and will be so very loved by everyone.
Keep looking forward, she is so beautiful and worth it, as you well know! Love you
