Tragedy had a Beautiful Face

There once was a beautiful prince and princess
Their wedding was a splendorous sight to see
Their future looked as bright as can be
To live happily ever after was not meant to be

The love they shared
the cross they beared
was too much for them
and their new family

The baby to come
would not be born
an angel in heaven
she was meant to be

Their lives they ended
one by one
to have peace at last
their mental anguish
no more to be felt
and a thing of the past

Broken hearts they did leave
the void never to be replaced
the lessons to be learned
were many and displaced

Forgiveness, acceptance
love and compassion
their deaths left
us to learn

Our soul’s perfection
our unity with God
all is in divine order
was our mission to understand

Our reunion a time to behold
when all answers will be told
our anger dissolved
for love to prevail

Your path served a purpose
t’was different than mine
to be left behind
my own purpose to find

The years have gone by
the love never dies
your presence and guidance
in our heart does lie

Love and peace
My dear children
Until we are together again
Tragedy had a beautiful face

Suicide Survivor’s Prayer
Let us pray together:
Dear God,
In the past weeks, months, years, our lives have changed dramatically.
Our loved ones made a decision we wish she/he had not made,
leaving us heartbroken with disbelief, guilt, anger, confusion,
so many “If only’s and Why’s”.
Help us to accept what has happened.
Help us to live with only partial answers.
Help us to find a way to cherish our memories.
Help us to find a new focus.
Help us to respond in a positive way, to go on with a renewed
faith in your everlasting love.
Amen

Finally...the morning came after the mourning.
