It's hard to ward off sorrow that
we feel when loved ones die.
This burden comes to everyone,
and grief we can't deny.
This earthly separation that fills
a heart with pain,
It is a natural function to hurt but not restrain.
Take up old associations, ride, or walk away the care.
The best medicine for sorrow is keep active they declare
Lose yourself in worthwhile
projects and utilize the brain.
Employ yourself with busyness
and get started once again !


It is difficult to do this and
resume a normal life.
But, it is our only answer to relieve us from our strife.
Fill your days with creativity and thereby shift the strain.
God's spiritual prescription will release a heart from pain.
By our faith we have assurance that we are not alone.
When they crucified our Jesus,
His earthly life was done.
Because we do not see him
doesn't mean he is not there.
So, when we lose a loved one,
it helps us to compare.
Their suffering has ended and
God provides us strength to bear !
Our faith allows eternal life to
those who leave us here.
Our God in his great mercy shall
release the bond of fear.
Give way to grief, and slowly
time will help the grief depart.
Trust in God to comfort you and
heal your broken heart
