Because I know many a heart...

Erma R. Hall

Because I know many a heart is aching over the loss of a loved one, I should like to acknowledge and give thanks for a healing of grief which I experienced over fourteen years ago.

When our little boy was two and a half Years old, my husband and I were anxiously awaiting the arrival of another child, but this baby did not live; then in another year we had a little girl who lived only five days.

Because of this loss, I was so bowed down with grief that I had times of deep depression when the love of my husband and little son meant nothing to me. I felt as though a dark blanket had been thrown around me which I could not lift. This agony persisted for seven years. Time was not healing my sorrow. I even entertained thoughts of self-destruction at times, my grief was so tenacious!
