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.
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..
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.
Sometimes the blessing that comes from our pain is the ability to reach out to those feeling the same torture, that same sense of loss. You are a special woman to reach out through your own loss to comfort someone on a similar path
Dianne, you are amazing. And I think you did the right thing. As sad as that made me, it's also so beautiful, I find it uplifting in a strange kind of way. If there were more people like you, this world would be a more gentle place.
Keep doing the things you do......... I am really moved by your courage and kindness.
Your courage and kindness melts my heart. Promise me you'll keep doing things like this. If only there were more people like you. I am sure karma will smile on you for your unselfish deed.
A grieving mother
