Amanda's post over at Cooker and a Looker was about remembering her own loss, the grief she still feels, and the bond she shares with others who have lost loved ones.
I for one can not imagine losing a child. The thought literally chills me to the bone, makes my heart grow heavy and crushes my soul. I feel nauseous.
This post comes during the week we farewell Daniel Morcombe nine years after he went to buy Christmas gifts and never came home. A story that hit Australian's so hard many of us were left winded and gasping for breath at the reality of the world we live in. If this is how we felt, I cannot fathom the extreme pain the parents have had to endure in their souls. Last year they finally found his body.Thirteen year old Daniel could now be put to rest.

This Sunday is Worldwide Candle Lighting to support those who have lost a child. Perhaps we could all light a candle, with a red ribbon around it, as a sign of support, hope, celebration and gratitude.
Linking up to 52 weeks of gratitude with Maxabella over at Village Voices at Kidspot.
Thanks for helping to spread the word Leanne.
ReplyDeleteI will light a candle. x
ReplyDeleteThis week has made me feel so grateful for my family being safe with me at home. I've been thinking of families dealing with loss. I hope candles will be lit Australia wide.
