It’s completely up to us how we choose to respond.įinding Hope in the Darkness of Grief is a gleaning of insights from artist Diamante Lavender. Nobody is immune, but everyone has the opportunity to grow tall or wither like a flower in harsh light. It is a Pandora’s box of emotions, situations, opportunities, and failures, all wrapped into a package we call life. This earthly plane offers much for us to learn: happiness, wisdom, loss, heartbreak, and enlightenment.
It is also the recipient of a Silver Medal from Mom’s Choice Awards!
I hope that it helps others find comfort and healing.Ībout Finding Hope in the Darkness of Griefįinding Hope in the Darkness of Grief is a winner of a Pinnacle Achievement Award for Spirituality. Thank you, Diamante, for sharing your poem and story with me and my readers. And we all need to be comforted and to know that beauty is looming on the horizon no matter how much pain we’ve encountered on planet earth! We all need to know why we’re here and what our actions will lead to in the future. And I am exceedingly grateful for that knowledge and to be able to pass it along to others who are embattled and mourning. Because of them I know that this life is a learning ground that leads to bigger and better things. They gift me with a sense of purpose and meaning, with the understanding that heaven is real, it’s not just a wish or a fantasy. They visit me and make themselves known not only to help me write so that I can help others but also to let me know they’re okay so that my heart doesn’t break beyond repair.
But I know that they are still alive and well beyond heaven’s veil. One only after ten hours’ time and the other after nearly nineteen years. I wrote this for my daughters who passed away. Love us and guide us from your ethereal view, To experience life’s sentence of lessons and fateīefore we, too, find ourselves in heaven’s estate. Over life, over love, over a darling child’s soul It’s a hard lesson to learn that you have no control I begged God for time to extend your stay. Just as you when you left, my child, my friend. The sun’s light was strong, the warmth intense,īut the leaves shriveled up and neared their end, Their remaining life brief before they fell from the trees. I’ve asked Diamante to share a poem from the collection and its inspiration, and I’m hoping you all find it as moving as I did. My guest today is Diamante Lavendar, who is celebrating the release of her newest poetry collection, Finding Hope in the Darkness of Grief.
