"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love."
I hope that my previous post does not depress you. As I have found it most healing and it has allowed me acceptance. Thank you all.

Julee,
Your letter is beautiful... your words are beautiful. Those words made me bawl like a baby. I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you.
Julee, so sorry for your recent events. You're amazing and so strong. Our prayers are with you!
I saw this years ago... after our first. I've kept it written on a scrap of paper close to me ever since.
"We can't pray that God will make our lives free of problems. That won't happen, and it is good that it doesn't. We can't ask Him to make us and those we love immune to disease, because He won't do that. We can't ask Him to weave a magic spell around us so that bad
things will only happen to other people, and never to us....
But people who pray for courage, for strength to bear the unbearable, for the grace to remember what they have left instead of what they have lost, very often find their prayers answered. They discover that they have more strength, more courage than they ever knew themselves to have.... Their prayers helped them tap the hidden reserves of faith and courage which were not available to them before." - Harold S. Kushner
