This Thursday it will have been 3 years.
This Thursday I will offer something I have been working on for 1 year.
This Thursday an ebook that I have poured my heart and soul and many prayers into will be available here for free.
Psalms for the Grieving Heart is a devotional that leads the grieving parent, spouse, sibling, child, friend through 30 days of Scripture that heal, encourage, and comfort.
If you or someone you know could use this gift, please return on Thursday to download your very own copy to use, to give away, to bless and be blessed.
I’m looking forward to giving this to a sweet lady at church whose first child died right after birth. Thank youi n advance for writing it.
Oh, I’m so sorry! I will be praying for you this week. I lost my mom three years ago January 25 and I agree that the time flies by crazy fast. I am so grateful you know The Healer.
I’m praying for you and your family as you face this week. Our God is faithful!
Thank you, Amy! I have a friend who lost her son Judson to a devastating disease three years and three months ago today. I want to share your e-book with her.
If you are interested, she writes about her journey in her blog at http://www.storyofjudson.com/christina .
Thank you for doing this! I found your blog yesterday when I was searching for chore systems. I spent hours reading so much of your writing. I read the story of Emily and cried. I read your posts about grief and agreed. Nearly 8 years ago I lost my husband; and, although I do not know the grief of losing a child, I do know the grief of losing a spouse. I will definitely make use of your ebook as other young widows are constantly being brought across my path.
(By the way, thanks for the WEALTH of organizing info, too!)
All the effort (and tears I’m sure) will bless many. I’m looking forward to reading your book…because we heal with God’s help but we never forget.
Amy,
I don’t know how it’s been for you, but for me, the anticipation of those “anniversaries” is much harder than the actual day. That may change as time goes on, but I didn’t want to wait until Thursday to let you know that I am thinking of you and remembering you as you remember your sweet Emily.
I look forward to reading your devotional. Thank you for pouring out so much of yourself into a project such as this. I know it wasn’t easy, but I do hope you’ve experienced some healing through its completion. I pray God uses it to touch many, many hurting hearts.
Blessings to you,
Kim
Kim – Often, I will forget why I am in a funk, only to realize it is because “the day” is approaching. There is almost a relief when the actual day (her birthday, the day she died, the day we buried her, the day we first took her to the hospital) finally comes…almost as if my mind, heart and soul says, “I made it…one more time.” And yes, there was healing in writing this. {hugs} to you, my friend.
Thank you so much for doing this, Amy… I look forward to reading it. My baby girl passed away a few weeks ago after a courageous 4 months here on this earth. We are hurting…and this e-book sounds so comforting. Thank you…
Thank you so much for offering this! The DAY before you wrote this, I found out a friend of mine lost her newborn Saturday night. The baby was born with an enlarged heart and passed away 6 days after birth. This was her first baby AND her sister is expecting a baby in just a months time. So, the grief is even harder to deal with. They have had such loss in this family. The grandmother lost a child, her sister-in-law lost twins and now her baby. I don’t live near them anymore. My plan is to get your ebook and mail it to the grandmother and let her give it to her daughter when the time is right. I’m praying it will help them walk through the grief. Thank you for your heart and your willingness to share! God bless!
I have been reading your blog for quite some time. I love how so many times when I read your posts it happens to be on a subject that I have been pondering. You are so encouraging and you have given me many good ideas and concepts to ponder.
This post reminded me that Feb 10, 2008 is also forever etched in my memory. My day was not as tragic as yours, but none the less, one I will alway remember. My husband had a heart attack at age 31. Praise the Lord, the blockage was removed and he is healthy. Saying a prayer for you… I cannot imagine losing a baby. I’m so encouraged by your story of faith. Even though I cannot specifically relate, my heart imagines and grieves.
I know that today is a hard day for you. Two of my five sons live with Jesus. So, I really know. It doesn’t matter how long they are with Jesus, their Glory Days are hard. I am praying for you today.
And thank you for the very lovely gift!
I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for providing the ebook. I lost my son almost 5 years to leukemia. I admire your bravery and willingness to share.
