Let There Be (edit)
Weeping is not the same thing as crying.
It takes your whole body to weep, and when it’s over,
you feel like you don’t have any bones left to hold you up.
~Sara Ockler(edit) A few more notes to self: Crying is at an emotional level.
Weeping is from the soul.I find when soul weeps, sometimes there is no noise. It is silent, but draining. But healthy, still, I think.
I am feeling the deep maternal howls from across the miles. I feel her pull towards death. It is heavy, her call to stop the hurt. Though I can sense her ache, I do not know if she hears my words. I tell her to hold on.
Healing. So different for each of us. No designated time, or technique. So raw at times, there are only groans. I tell her, I don’t know how you will live without your baby. And my soul embraces hers. I hope she feels it.

There are moments crying is like a flawless river that has no end on its way …
Yes, that is weeping. Weeping and I have become friends over the years.
I always cringe when I hear a child of any age has died at the hands of someone else. When many children die needlessly, I cringe even more as I shake my head in utter astonishment and sadness. The young person who did this unspeakable act, I think was still a child himself.

Thank you for the introduction to Gungor. I am looking up their music. This song was so wistful and sad – an apt soundtrack for the sorrow swirling in the hearts of many.
Thank you for the sensitivity shown in this post and the last post Tamy. prayers, hugs and blessings to you dear heart.
Dear Tamy,
Just read that you had to disable comments. Sorry for that. I don’t usually read other’s comments anyway, as a rule, so don’t know what prompted you to have to do so. (although I think I can guess. I don’t watch TV news either.) I like the photo of Elf Boy below. Excellent sentiment here. Worth one of my rare recommendations.Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours, including all dogs, horses, and other assorted critters.Michael F. Nyiri, poet, philosopher, fool
what a sensitive,heartfelt post! I can relate to this, and yes it is so very draining.
I think all Mothers are reaching out with their souls and holding those parents close to their hearts right now.
Tamy, I couldn’t respond to anyone’s posts on these subjects the past few days. It’s all been too difficult to deal with. I wanted you to know why I haven’t read and responded until now.
Thank you for sharing all that you have, here.

@murisopsis - Gungor is so healing for me.
@plantinthewindow - Never an obligation to ever read/respond. Never feel the need to explain. I am confident in our friendship, I do not need to know the whys. I have only read/commented on a handful myself. It’s a season of few words. Or many. (((hug)))
It is a tragedy but that principal was as prepared as she could be. I am glad to hear other funeral homes are helping with the funerals, lending hearses and their staff services. This has to be truly overwhelming for that small town. :(
What some people fail to recognize is guns used in this and other situations were obtained legally and the purchaser was not in trouble with the law and passed the background check.
I admire your ability to open yourself to this. I have moments, but I’m not brave enough to let it all in. I hope she hears you. <3
i think soul weeping is more draining than physical weeping. the soul doesn’t recover as fast.
