The Grieving Mother

This section of Raising Arrows was born out of my own grief, poured out onto these pages following the death of my 5th child, a beautiful little girl named Emily.

What you will find here are pieces of me and my journey with the prayer that other grieving parents will find encouragement and comfort from the things our family has gone through and continues to go through.  And above all…

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.  2 Corinthians 1:3-4
