Resources on the Subject of Grief

The Rain to the Wind said,
"You push and I'll pelt."
They so smote the garden bed
That the flowers actually knelt.
And lay lodged - though not dead,
I know how the flowers felt.
- Robert Frost

O Christ Jesus,
when all is darkness and
we feel our weakness and helplessness, 
give us the sense of Your presence,
Your love, and Your strength.
Help us to have perfect trust in
Your protecting love and strengthening power,
so that nothing may frighten or worry us, for,
living close to You, we shall see
Your hand, Your purpose,
Your will through all things.

    (St. Ignatius of Loyola, 1491-1556)
O God of Love
It feels like an ocean of sorrow under my skin
Sorrow on sorrow, I am waiting
Sorrow on Sorrow, Heavy I am anticipating
Trusting the current of Your Love to carry me.
 
O God of Love
Our hearts are restless
Until they find rest in You.
This is where my hope lies
This is where my souls sighs
I will always find my rest in You.
