Debra

Ecclesiastes 3:4 — a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to wail and a time to skip about;

Sometimes, the most fulfilling moments in a loss are when the two most powerful emotions join together.

Our hearts fill up with memories of happiness and we miss our loved one so much. There is a time for sadness, and happiness, even at these times in our lives.

Storyas,

 

I have seen that poem on facebook and it is very touching.  Certainly gave me another perspective on the situation.  My father passed in Sept of this year, so I am struggling some.  Thank yo for posting it here.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Hi everyone!  I'm sorry I haven't been on much lately.  I started doing a class in September plus my husband and I both have had continuing health problems, so I've had to slow down a bit on a lot of things.  But, I wanted to say thank you to everyone for all of your support during my grief and to say Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you.  I know for most of us it is hard to have a Merry Christmas or sometimes even to have hope for the New Year, so I hoped this poem might help some.  My Mom died on December 8, just shortly before Christmas, so Christmas has been very hard for me since (I find solace in buying for the kids, but I don't even care if I get presents or anything like that).  Someone gave me this poem, and it did help a little bit:

This poem was written by a 13 year old boy who died of a brain tumor that he had battled for four years. He died on December 14, 1997. He gave this to his mom before he died. His name was Ben.

My First Christmas in Heaven

I see the countless
Christmas trees
around the world below
With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars,
reflecting on the snow

The sight is so spectacular,
please wipe away the tear
For I am spending Christmas with
Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs
that people hold so dear
But the sounds of music can't compare
with the Christmas choir up here.

I have no words to tell you,
the joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description,
to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me,
I see the pain inside your heart.
But I am not so far away,
We really aren't apart.

So be happy for me, dear ones,
You know I hold you dear.
And be glad I'm spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.

I sent you each a special gift,
from my heavenly home above.
I sent you each a memory
of my undying love.

After all, love is a gift more precious
than pure gold.
was always most important
the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other,
my Father said to do.
I can't count the blessing or love
has for each of you.

So have a Merry Christmas and
Wipe away that tear
Remember, I am spending Christmas with
Jesus Christ this year

I am finding some comfort in honoring my Dad.  Like amking a quilt patch in his honor because he was an organ donor.  My mother-in-law purchased an ornament celebrating a hospital's 100th anniversary and had my Dad's name engraved on it for me.  Today I also realized that it is okay to be happy and joyful.  My Dad loved life and loved having fun.  He would not be happy with me for letting his death consume me.  I'm sure he is honored to know just how much I miss him.  So I decided to let myself be happy and have fun.
