The day God called you home
God looked around his garden
And He found an empty place
He then looked down upon this earth
And saw your loving face.
He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw that the road was getting rough
And the hills are hard to climb
So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered "Peace be thine."
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone
For part of us went with you
That day God called you home.

This was printed at the back of my mom's obituary paper. A colleague of my mom's found this poem and I still cannot read it without crying, it is so beautiful. I know my mom is in a better place but I do feel like a part of me died too. It's strange, 2 days after my mom passed away I woke up thinking "I don't have to worry about mommy, she is better now." I prayed so often for God to heal her, but it was not His will. The pain I felt to see her so sick and not being able to do much for herself was just as bad as the pain I am feeling now. I hated to see her suffer. But now I am the one suffering, because she is not there anymore. I miss her so much. And on 15 December it will be one year since my dad died, so there is all this raw emotions I am experiencing as that day approaches. Never imagined that within 9 months I would lose both parents and become an orphan.

This is so beautiful, brought tears to my eyes. We had something similar printed in my moms obituary papers at the funeral. This just speaks to my heart because I know that God saw my mom getting too sick here on earth and he decided that he needed her back, so that she could live with him in peace and pain free. I know that God knows our hearts are breaking, so he allowed us to be there when she took her last breath. I was able to hold her hand when she went to be with our loving God. There was a peace, a silence that I could never explain other than to say it was God giving her rest and us peace. Thank you for posting.

My Fathers Loss
Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

Traumatic loss of an only child
I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.
