Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

As some of you may know I design and maintain websites. Part of the service I provide deals with email and guestbooks. Due to a high volume of spam in conventional guestbooks I am now posting them manually via forms.

One of the websites is Mother's Grieving Heart. Last night I received a message from this site that has me extremely worried for this woman.

I am going to quote some of her message here, her name is Diane.

Diane wrote:
I lost my son, Jonathan, age 25 years, 13 ½ months ago from a brain hemmorage - I cannot go on. I've been told through friends, reading, Compassionate Friends, etc., to take care of myself. That would be okay if I wanted to - but I don't. I've skipped blood pressure pills, eat very unhealthy in hopes that it will speed my death and just short of commiting suicide. I do have another, son and I only go on because of him. I fear horribly that God will take him too. I just want to go be with Jonathan and get out of this miserable, ugly world - it would be such peace.

I feel that if I can only breathe for a second - but then I don't want that second. I thought maybe this would ease somewhat but it seems to just get worse. I have gone for grief counseling but to no avail. I'm still angry at God but don't want to be - it just somehow won't stop.

I don't know what to do, how to want to go on because I pray every night for that next day to be my last but here I am. I feel guilty because I know I should feel that I'm here for a reason and that may be to help another mother but that makes no difference to me.

I tried medication - no help. I'm so exhausted living.


Please, please lift this woman up in prayer. I don't know who she is other than her name but she is really hurting and I am worried for her and her other son.

I have passed the message on to Maria and I can only hope she can help her during this most difficult time.

Blessings,
Krisann

Sometimes just getting up in the morning to face the day requires a heroic struggle. Praying this mother finds the strength to carry on.
