  I hope you will find this website a place of comfort if you are grieving or a place to gain understanding if you're walking with a friend through loss or maybe you just clicked here from one of my other blogs and want to get back to birthing with guinever or at home with guinever.
  
  Please realize that you're not alone in the feelings that you might be experiencing. Also know that true and lasting comfort comes only from the Lord.
  
  Webster defines grief as,"The pain of mind produced by loss, misfortune, injury or evils of any kind; sorrow; regret. We experience grief when we lose a friend, when we incur loss, when we consider ourselves injured, and by sympathy, we feel grief at the misfortunes of others."
  
  So if you decide to stay awhile, grab a box of tissues. As you explore this site, you'll find out why I am no stranger to grief.

• blogs I read from other mothers who have lost children

  Molly writes about losing Felicity in utero. She has an excellent series on how to help the grieving.

  hair like hers
  wispy and blonde
  I see a girl with her mother
  alive
  I used to have a girl like that
  but now she is vanished. . .

• hope in God

  Why are you cast down , O my soul?
  and why are you disquieted within me?
  Hope in God;
  for I shall yet praise Him
  for the help of His countenance.
  
  Psalm 42:11

• I invite you to look at my pictorial walk through the cemetery

  
  my favorite tree: it weeps, and other spring pictures Caleb looking at a turtle at the loading dock and more pictures of Abby's stone following Mary through the garden a face in granite lake reflections and more autumn pictures feeding the fish on a sunny, muddy day duck prints in the snow and more winter pictures
