Remember

Over and over come the words from well-meaning family and friends--
​
“You need to get over it...”
“Time to move on...”

And the grieving parents are broken-hearted yet again that they must stuff their pain and their memories back inside, so others won’t have to see them.

There will come a time, dear mother and father, when your tears will no longer be right at the edge...when your grief won’t be just at the surface, ready to spill out. Someday, you will be able to set this aside for a little while and think of other things.

But no parent can ever get over the loss of a child. There’s no need to conform to that expectation. No need to hide away all signs of the precious life that filled your hopes and dreams, the one who still lives on in your hearts.

Wrap around you whatever memories you have of your little one. Speak his name. Keep her pictures on the mantle. He is your son. She is your daughter. Forever missed. Forever loved.
​
Take comfort that your baby is safe in the arms of the Savior, free of all sickness and pain, more alive now than ever before, dancing in the glories and perfection of Heaven.
