    A grieving mother

    This morning I went to the cemetary to spend time with my Emmanuel and whilst there a mother was sitting alone sobbing her heart out. I could feel her pain, so raw, I wanted to put my arms around her but just wasn't sure if that would be the right thing to do. Her cries were getting louder, I wanted to take her pain away. I walked over to her, knelt down beside her and placed my hand on her shoulder. She looked at me and then embraced me, I held her so tight like you would your child and cried with her, we didn't speak, we didn't have to. Once she stopped crying she thanked me, I gave her my phone number but I'm sure we will meet again, our angels brought us together but sometimes I just think life is so unfair. Why do these things happen, why do people have to go through so much pain?
    Thanks for reading, I just needed to get that out, can't stop thinking of her, hope she is ok.

    Regards,
    Dianne

    That touched my heart so much, in fact my keyboard is all wet from crying. You are a beautiful person, and in that moment exactly what that grieving mother needed..

    what heartbreaking circumstances that have brought you to each other. And what a priviledge to provide comfort and healing to each other.

    What an amazing thing to do, in this day and age no-one even looks sideways at people if they look emotional, let alone go and sit with them in their time of need.
    You made me cry

    I hope you hear from her and she is doing ok!

    I am so glad you were there for her today. It is an honour to be with another in such pain - & you are a beautiful compassionate soul for meeting her in a "place" that is so raw.

    Hugs to you & to the other Mama. xxx
