  Joy Remembered
|
|
Easter or Passover is a time to celebrate renewal and rebirth. Signs of spring are everywhere. Celebrating for some, may mean a time of Easter eggs, chicks and bunnies. There are others for whom it is the most religious time of year, celebrating the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. For some, it is a combination of the two. As suicide survivors, we have many beautiful Easter memories, kept safely inside our hearts and memories. Each one is a moment in time that is very precious to us. The Easter joy that we created with those we have lost to suicide and now remember, can never be taken away. Easter Joy Remembered was created as a place where suicide survivors could share all of their precious Easter celebration memories created with the one they have lost. Here you may share photos, Easter stories, poems, prayers, verses or whatever else you would like. Religious and non-religious items are welcome. We have collected some Easter icons for use with items if you would like. You may view the icons by clicking here. Submissions: If you would like to submit an entry to Easter Joy Remembered, click on the email link at the bottom of the page. Include in your submission: any photos you would like to share, the name of your loved one, their dates, your name, website address (if you have a memorial site), your relationship to your loved one, where your loved one lived and any Easter icon choice that you may want to include. We will add your submission at our first available moment. You need not be a member of our organization or any of our affiliates to send a submission. |

If ever rain should sing a hymn
© Alan Harris
throughout and throughin;
if ever unfolding buds with tiny pain
should bloom big over meadows;
if ever hearts in deepest pain
should find a silver light--
let it be on Good Friday,
our day of holy surrender to
more than we know,
our bow of reverence to
more than we are,
our wail of grief for
all that might have been,
our needed emptying
of the cup of self to
find an inner morning--
an Easter wherein
the Sun of Love
will rise again.
Grief's Lonely Path
Some say, hope conquers sorrow,
And they say crying, soothes the pain
Give it, "time" they say so in "time"
And can they tell us, how much
It's been 10 years now, and do
by: Ginger Bethke
For now, and forever,
With all our love,
well we've tried, but for us,
there is no "son", in our tomorrows.
but really for us, it's just the same.
will we know, what they know?
What it's like to live, without pain.
"time" they have allowed us?
Can they tell us, "time" really
does erase the pain? Or does it,
do little, but just go on?
"they" really think, we have not
tried to heal, to feel, once again?
Can "they" tell us, is it "time" yet?
Dear Todd,
Sending our love and hugs,to you in Heaven.
And may God hold you close,until we can.
that's how long we'll miss you!
And that's how long, we'll hurt!
