On the Loss of a Child
By: Helen Steiner Rice

There are some things that no words have ever been invented to fit...and there is so little I can say to soften your sorrow or lessen the stabbing pain, that fills your hearts today, for your loss is so keen and so new and so deep that your days are made up of nothing but "lost loneliness" and "heart-hurt" at present, but in the months ahead you will gain strength that will enable you to realize that life stretches into eternity and it never ends, and your little one is not dead, she has only gone "back home to God," and she is hopping along gaily on the tip of a fluffy cloud and scampering through fields of enjoyment with the wind in her hair and blowing bubbles out of moonbeams and playing hide-and-seek with the stars.

This deep emotional and spiritual experience that you are sharing is one that will link you even closer together as you go through the years...for to share happiness brings joy to the heart-but to share sorrow is treasure for the soul, for love is a unity of the soul, and sorrow is only a closer joining. And in this tragedy you were drawn a little closer to God and to one another. And while your hearts hurt you now, you will find a newer and deeper beauty of "togetherness" since this tragedy came to clear your vision. Life takes on a deeper meaning and significance with every spiritual experience that is shared, and this truly is another evidence of the mystery of life and the impenetrable greatness of the Master Builder whose plans for our lives are without flaws, for He sees beyond the horizon of Today into the Eternal Tomorrow. We are all a part of God, and God is everywhere, and your little one just decided to go back to heaven instead of continuing her journey in a world so full of restlessness and turmoil. God is at the beginning and the end of everything, and there is nothing beyond Him...so find comfort in that thought.
