To Those Mourning a Loved One

Lord, in your Hands I commend my spirit.

67
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.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
