Sister, after loss, life will never be the same / Please know that it does get better / I tell you this in Jesus' name

 

 

 

Shocking Bleeding Heart

                    By Yvonne M. Terry

 

After the deaths of Larry and Mike I was unable to cope

Oh, the pain, the pain, the pain . . . .

pounding on my chest like terrible rain

After the Shock, it became so real

For all I could do was cry and feel, feel, feel . . . .

 

Then one day God removed the block and gave me hope

He sent me the Holy Comforter to help me deal with pain

Yes, with his Mighty Hand He sent away the rain

 

Sister, after loss, life will never be the same

Please know that it does get better

I tell you this in Jesus' name

 

I pray peace and blessings for you and me

I love you and so does He

Sister Grief: Defined and Conquered in Jesus

By Yvonne Terry-Lewis

"Sister Grief: Defined and Conquered in Jesus" is an engaging book that confronts the universal experience of living with death and dying. The author personifies the personal loss of loved ones as "Sister Grief." The book, partly autobiographical, provides a holistic plan for conquering grief through faith, through a special relationship with Jesus. This plan is designed to help navigate one through the grieving process. The book includes personal stories, poetry, testimonials, letters, practical suggestions, and strategies based on a love for the divinity in one's life. Although the circumstances that cause grief may be sad, this book is filled with love, encouragement, and hope that lead one towards spiritual health and wholeness.
