Today's Birthday 

Please remember that today is a special birthday. 
Help them understand that the memories don't go away. 
Bless them with ears to hear and hearts that care. 
Enable them to listen while I share. 
Shelter them, that they may never know my pain. 
Help them to help me know that my child's life was not in vain. 
Help them....... 
to understand that I wish my child were here so we could celebrate, 
to understand that I still feel the nearness of my child, 
to see beyond my smile and the words, "I'm okay," 
Please let just one remember today is a special birthday!

For Grieving Grandparents

We are the grieving grandparents, the shephards of our children's and grandchildren's lives.  Our grief is two-fold and at times we feel powerless to help.  We seek to comfort our children in the depths of their grief and yet we need the time and space to face our own broken hearts.  We have been robbed of the special tender touch a grandparent shares with a grandchild, and we have lost a symbol of our immortality.  As we walk by our child's side, we both give and draw strength.  We reach into their hearts to comfort them, and when they reach out to us in their distress, we begin the journey to heal together.  We continue to be their guardians.  We allow traditions to change to accomodate their loss.  We support the new ones, which symbolize the small steps on their journey.  It is in their healing that our hearts find comfort.


~Susan Mackey

To Bereaved Grandparents
I am powerlessness. I am helplessness. I am frustration.

I sit here with her and cry with her. She cries for her daughter and I cry for mine. I can't help her. I can't reach inside and take her broken heart. I must watch her suffer day after day and see her desolate.

I listen to her tell me over and over how she misses Emily, how she wants her back. I can't bring Emily back for her. I can't even buy her an even better Emily than she had, like I could buy her an even better toy when she was a child.

I can't kiss the hurt and make it go away. I can't even kiss a small part of it away. There's no Band-Aid large enough to cover her bleeding heart. There was a time I could listen to her talk about a
fickle boyfriend and tell her it would be okay, and know in my heart that in two weeks she wouldn't even think of him. Can I tell her it'll be okay in two years when I know it will never be okay, that she will carry this pain of "what might hove been" in her deepest heart for the rest of her life?

I see this young woman, my child, who was once carefree and fun-loving and bubbling with life, slumped in a chair with her eyes full of agony. Where is my power now? Where is my mother's bag of tricks that will make it all better?

Why can't I join in the aloneness of her grief? As tight as my arms wrap around her, I can't reach that
aloneness.

Where are the magic words that will give her comfort? What chapter in Dr. Spock tells me how to do
this? He has told me everything else I've needed to know. Where are the answers? I should have them. I'm her mother.

What can I give her to make her better? A cold wet wash cloth will ease that swelling of her crying eyes, but it won't stop the reason for her tears. What treat will bring joy back to her? What prize will bring that "happy child" smile back again?

I know that someday she'll find happiness again, that her life will have meaning again. I can hold out hope for her someday, but what about now? this hour? this day? I can give her my love and prayers and my care and my concern. I could give her my life. But even that won't help.

My Butterfly Child 
by Elaine Roebuck, TCF Queensland, Australia 2001 

I watched you laying there in stillness, 
the nothingness of your cocoon ... in death. 
I find no beauty in the world at this time. 
Was there ever beauty? 
It seems not. 
Little did I know what beauty was to come, 
Not only for you ..... 
But the lessons you would teach would bring beauty to my life. 
Then you come to me. 
You're reborn, You've emerged ... Now my beautiful butterfly. 
At times you come playfully, 
Reminding me of your childhood ... and wonderful memories. 
Sometimes you even bring your friends ... darting about as you did in 
life. You seem to say "We're here, we're happy ". 
Darting about on the wind with mischief, 
But also showing the freedom you've gained. 
Showing your different colours, 
like the many personalities you have.
Pastels for peace ... for compassion ... for serenity ... your 
gentleness ... the peace you enjoy, 
For love.... for fun ... happiness ... sunlight ... beautiful 
sunsets ... rainbows. 
You come to me, show yourself. 
Your beauty ... the beautiful woman you were ... 
the beautiful spirit you are. 
Sometimes you just sit quietly on my window ... 
you seem to say ... 'Be still, look around you ... 
look at this world of ours ... breathe it all in ... enjoy' 
And at times I can enjoy, my beautiful butterfly .... 
I just wish that you'd not be so elusive, 
But stay a while ... let me hold you gently in my hands. 
Till then... ....I must hold you in my heart. 
Our precious Katie.... lovingly remembered on your birthday 
sweetheart, from all your family xxx 

MEMORIAL QUILT 

My daughter told me you were coming soon, 
as my shining eyes grew as big as the moon. 
I hurried home to clean and prepare,
for the greatest joy no other could compare. 
I gathered together all my many yarns, 
to crochet a sweater for your tiny arms. 
As the yarn took on a loving shape 
instead of a sweater it turned into a cape. 
Soft pastel colors of fuzzy rayon 
come together with colors of the crayons. 
with the cape all done up with pretty little bows, 
next came booties to warm tiny toes.
Then came the soft, cuddly blanket of love, 
awaiting your arrival from up above. 
Then came the bonnet as delicate as lace, 
to warm your head and surround your lovely face. 
With each double and single stitch, 
it all comes together without a hitch. 
Then the wonderful day was finely here, 
Your birth came without any fear. 
These memories of you are so very dear, 
as your birth date came with hardly a tear. 
Only tears of joy from those that love you, 
with waiting arms that want to hug you.... 
Now time has past and the tears come from sadness, 
no longer are there days of bliss and gladness. 
For those that loved you more than life itself, 
broken hearts weep as the blanket rests on a shelf. 
Now two years later and still hurting with pain, 
Those torn hearts cannot be mended again. 
As tears fall down and the flowers begin to wilt, 
Grammy's tears now fall on your MEMORIAL QUILT...
