To Those Mourning a Loved One

Lord, in your Hands I commend my spirit.

To Those Mourning a Loved One
Eliza Cabrera

There are no words to heal the pain you feel. If I could say a few magical words, believe me, I would. You are allowed to feel everything you feel right now, and those feelings are real and valid. Let out your rage, your sorrow and your suffering. Cry as long as you need to, desahogate, let it all out. It is your right to mourn.


By the sweat of your brow

you shall eat bread,

Until you return to the ground,

from which you were taken;

For you are dust,

and to dust you shall return.

Genesis 3:19


You may feel like your world is spinning out of control, and even though it may seem like you just can't take any more blows from life, reach out your hand to those you love. They share your pain; they know what this person means to you; they understand your loss and they will support you during this difficult time.

Remember, the things that made you love this person. Their smile, their laugh, their favorite food, your favorite memories, the way they made you feel. These precious things will always be in your heart, the beloved person departed will always remain in your heart. Have faith that one day, you will meet again in Paradise.


Jesus told her,

“I am the resurrection and the life;

whoever believes in me,

even if he dies, will live,

and everyone who lives and believes in me

will never die.”

John 11:25-26



Even though you've lost someone you truly care about and love deeply, believe they are in a better place. Pray they are with our Lord. Pray they are resting in heaven. Pray they no longer are suffering. Pray for their eternal peace. Que ellos en paz descansen, pray they rest in peace. When you feel like you are broken and you can't keep going, pray. Pray for strength, healing and comfort. Pray for the heavy heart you are carrying to be lifted. He will not abandon you; He will not let you suffer; He will take you under His wings, and there you shall rest. In difficult times, pray.


Comfort me with Your love O God

Comfort me with Your love O God
Wrap me up in Your strong embrace
Shelter me from the storm O Lord
Envelop me in Your tender care

By day I pour out my heartbreak to You
By night I give you my racing thoughts

In You I take refuge
In You I will not be afraid
For you hold me strong, You hold me safe

Calm my fearful heart O God
Still my anxious mind O Lord

For all my life is found in You
All my being is given to You
All my hope begins in You



To all those whom we have joined our Heavenly Father in Paradise, although your wings were ready, our hearts were not. You are missed deeply every single day. Please watch over us until we meet again. We love you with all of our hearts and souls.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
