Struggling through grief

A chapter in the book Remembering loved ones

Lord will you help me?

by Joanne Gill-Maddick



Dear lord up in heaven please help me find my way.

I've lost so many loved ones whom I miss every day.

I wish I could hold them close and say I love you, one more time.

Though I know this cannot happen Lord, I talk to them in my mind.

I feel like I've lost my way. How will I ever find my way home?

When grief washes over me Lord I feel so sad and alone.

I cry and cry and wonder why they were called away.

Life without them is not the same I wish they could have stayed.

Lord I know it would be selfish to wish my loved ones to stay.

I would not want them to suffer it's too high of a price to pay.

So lord I trust them in your keeping as the seasons come and go.

Please don't let them forget how much I love them as the universe unfolds.

Lord will you help me to be strong and be my guide each day.

Help me heal my broken heart and feel joy in some small way.

Lord I ask you to hold my loved ones tightly and give them hugs from me.

Until I join them in heaven above for all eternity.
