Diary Of A Grieving Mother

When a beloved one dies, a lot of thoughts run through our mind and like a raging storm with waves upon waves, these thoughts threaten to drown us. We mostly do not know how to proceed from this sort of situation. It's like a sinking mud. Once a person enters into it, they do not know where to start from. The ones who survive often have help from the outside who points a stick or rope towards them, and then they can focus their thoughts on survival. For others who have no source of hope anywhere, they begin to beat around until they start to sink into the mud slowly.I use this illustration because that was how I felt. It was a very confusing time for me. I started to beat around until help in the form of my support system showed up. It gave me hope that this was not the way it was meant to end. I could still overcome it. And after that, God Himself showed up and tossed me the stick/rope that hauled me out of that mud. Not everyone is that fortunate, but Christians are. As Christians, we are fortunate to have a path towards survival which is God.One of the major reasons I wrote this book is to be able to share my experience with others who are going through the same loss or who have people around them that have gone through same. At the point when I lost my son, I had nobody's experience to relate with. There was nobody to assure me that I have gone through same and I survived and you can too. I felt like nobody could understand. This is the sort of book I wished I had when my son died. Being able to share from the experience of others who have experienced such trauma as I would have been a motivation towards living life. I wished I had something that could have reminded me of the constant nature of God through sorrow and pain and tragedy and loss. Something that I could relate with. It is my prayer that someone can come across this book and come into the revelation I did and get the strength to forge ahead on his/her path.Overall, another reason I wrote the book is so that Christians can understand that they have an option, an alternative to the oppressing hands of emotional downfall. Christians should know that they can go through fire and come out unscathed because they have a God who has endowed them with the strength to go through the storms of life. In the bible is the complete arsenal of a Christian. Everything you need to understand times, seasons and your different challenges have been outlined in the Bible for you. All you just need is to spend time with the word of God. There are 365 fear nots in the bible. Each one for each day to remind you of the fact that He has completed all concerning you and that there is nothing you need to fear again. So, cast away your fears and your burdens and trust on God, only then can you live life completely.
