Very well stated.<br />Grief counseling...we did alot of that at home, together, I just made it apart of our homeschooling. we drew or wrote answers to questions that the children's page and teen page had. http://childgrief.org/childgrief.htm<br />Even though the teen one had deeper questions I was amazed at what my young boys drew and how they explained their pictures. We built with clay or playdough, made a chain of all the people praying for us, and many, many times colored gingerbread shaped men where we felt our grief and used varied colors. We wrote letters to other kids we learned had lost their dads, we made blankets a few times and sent them. Shared with each other and cried together. Knowing they aren't alone in their sorrow and being able to express it/share it in healthy ways is very healing. <br />Our pastor is also a wonderful counselor. <br />Praying for you as you seek what is best for your children. <br /><br />How did the adoption go?<br />I didn't want to give birth to our third child without Jim either. But I did and the Lord was with me. I am sure you felt Jesus with you today, even though you were missing your beloved imensely also. <br />Many HUGSChristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07155383233560215768noreply@blogger.com
