Category Archives: Grieving

This is Cheyanne’s Lullaby. A must see during these 12 days of Christmas.

This is a video just now made by Mary Rose, who created this expression of grief, of hope, of looking forward to a meeting in heaven.

This was made for her cousin, Sandy Hook Elementary School victim,  Allison Wyatt, and her nineteen little friends who died there.

Mary Rose is the twenty year old daughter of Joe Maher, who, as readers of HSH know, is the founder of the great organization, Opus Bono Sacerdotii. Joe sent me the video in these days after Christmas.

Know that there is an element of the lamentation of Rachel, who refused to be consoled, because they were no more, a passage cited about the wailing that went on in Bethlehem and environs when Herod had all the children two years old and under murdered, with our Lord just escaping into exile for the many years to come. His time would soon come. He also would know a most violent, tortured death, so as to bring us to life.

Yes, there is hope in this video. Much grief. But remember, grief comes from love.

I am reminded of these posts for your review:

(1) The beatitude about the blessedness of grieving, of knowing the love in the midst of grieving.

(2) The Grief Woman - a chapter in a book I’m writing about the women in the Gospels. This one is a widow who is grieving for her only son.

Please use the sharing buttons. Pass it on. This is the request of the relatives. A message of hope in the midst of love that grieves is importnat to share. Thanks. We help each other in this way.
