Sharing A Few Really Great Sites Around Grief

[niamh]

I figured I'd post this in this section as most people read here. I recently came across a couple of great sites on facebook, I think you should be able to see them even if you don't use facebook. They continuously post so many beautiful pictures with the most apt words, quotes etc around grief and missing our loved ones.

This is another site related to one of the above facebook pages that has lots of great articles, poems and many more resources around dealing with grief.

I wanted to share one of the poems I've just read, it really made a lot of sense to me. The first thing I thought of when I read this was "yes, that explains exactly how I manage to get up everyday and enter the world without my Dad"

I will come to you in your sleep.

And lie awhile next to your gentle breath.

I lay my head down next to yours and feel the beat of a heart that's broken.

I feel the ache within you and gently breathe life back into your hurt.

I give you my love, I give you my heart and I leave you with hope.

And when you awake, you know not how

But your life has been touched by the invisible presence of love.

I will come to you in your sleep and rest with you awhile.

I hope you find these sites as beautiful as I do,
