To Those Mourning a Loved One

Lord, in your Hands I commend my spirit.

73
To Those Mourning a Loved One
Eliza Cabrera

There are no words to heal the pain you feel. If I could say a few magical words, believe me, I would. You are allowed to feel everything you feel right now, and those feelings are real and valid. Let out your rage, your sorrow and your suffering. Cry as long as you need to, desahogate, let it all out. It is your right to mourn.


By the sweat of your brow

you shall eat bread,

Until you return to the ground,

from which you were taken;

For you are dust,

and to dust you shall return.

Genesis 3:19


You may feel like your world is spinning out of control, and even though it may seem like you just can't take any more blows from life, reach out your hand to those you love. They share your pain; they know what this person means to you; they understand your loss and they will support you during this difficult time.

Remember, the things that made you love this person. Their smile, their laugh, their favorite food, your favorite memories, the way they made you feel. These precious things will always be in your heart, the beloved person departed will always remain in your heart. Have faith that one day, you will meet again in Paradise.


Jesus told her,

“I am the resurrection and the life;

whoever believes in me,

even if he dies, will live,

and everyone who lives and believes in me

will never die.”

John 11:25-26



Even though you've lost someone you truly care about and love deeply, believe they are in a better place. Pray they are with our Lord. Pray they are resting in heaven. Pray they no longer are suffering. Pray for their eternal peace. Que ellos en paz descansen, pray they rest in peace. When you feel like you are broken and you can't keep going, pray. Pray for strength, healing and comfort. Pray for the heavy heart you are carrying to be lifted. He will not abandon you; He will not let you suffer; He will take you under His wings, and there you shall rest. In difficult times, pray.


Comfort me with Your love O God

Comfort me with Your love O God
Wrap me up in Your strong embrace
Shelter me from the storm O Lord
Envelop me in Your tender care

By day I pour out my heartbreak to You
By night I give you my racing thoughts

In You I take refuge
In You I will not be afraid
For you hold me strong, You hold me safe

Calm my fearful heart O God
Still my anxious mind O Lord

For all my life is found in You
All my being is given to You
All my hope begins in You



To all those whom we have joined our Heavenly Father in Paradise, although your wings were ready, our hearts were not. You are missed deeply every single day. Please watch over us until we meet again. We love you with all of our hearts and souls.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
