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.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
