Thoughts about Mothers and Grief

Is yours the night of bereavement? Is it not often at such a time that God draws near, and assures the mourner that the Lord has need of the departed loved one, and called "the eager, earnest spirit to stand in the bright throng of the invisible, liberated, radiant, active, intent on some high mission;" and as the thought enters, is there not the beginning of a song?
~Streams in the Desert, June 7



In all nature, there is no beauty to compare with the beauty of a mother's love.



The problem with death is absence.



An individual doesn't get cancer, a family does.
~ Terry Tempest Williams


Weeping may last for the night, but a shout of joy comes in the morning.
~ Psalm 30:5


Only those who have sorrowed know how tender is the "Man of Sorrows."



All mothers are quintessential: In pain and joy they are always with us,
encouraging,
instructing,
loving.

~Peter Megargee Brown
