.It is terrifying for many to consider actually mourning the loss of their
children. Tears of remorse are difficult to release because we fear that these emotions
will consume us. But it is not until you acknowledge your baby as a lost child that you
will be able to grieve his or her loss.
God developed the concept of mourning to allow us a way to release the pain of loss. it is
a human trait to need closure after the death of a loved one. Funerals and wakes are all
passage rituals that ensure mourning and encourage tears.
The main thing to remember about grief is that you don't get over it - you get through it.
Your sun shall no more go
down, nor shall your moon withdraw itself, for the Lord shall be your everlasting light,
and the days of your mourning shall be ended.
Isaiah 60:20
They who sow in tears shall reap in joy and singing.
Psalm 126:5
A time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance.
Ecclesiastes 3:4
Blessed and enviably happy with a happiness produced by the experience of God's favor and
especially conditioned by the revelation of His matchless grace, are those who mourn, for
they shall be comforted.
Matthew 5:4

"The Lord is close to the
brokenhearted;
and those who are crushed in spirit
He saves. Psalm
34:19."
