ABOUT US

When my daughter died, I wanted to die, too. My world was caving in around me to the point that I couldn't lift a finger to do any of the menial everyday tasks we often take for granted. If it were up to me, I would have withered away and died. But my community, my church, my friends, my family, and even distant strangers reached out and lifted me up when I couldn't.

I was provided with compassion, friendship, meals, prayers, planning of the funeral, cards, books, personal letters, visits, yard work, cleaning, shopping, caring for my kids, and the list could go on. Each individual story could touch your heart and bring tears to your eyes. It's those kinds of gestures that allow me to share this site with you.

To be quite frank, when my daughter died, I was more than devastated. I thought my life had ended. I didn't see a future. And I didn't want to.

But God had other plans. God stepped in, through so many instances; support from strangers, community, church, friends and family. He kept my heart alive when I thought I had died. He took my anger, bitterness, confusion, hatred, and jealousy, and helped me work through those feelings―that is why I started Good Mourning Lord.com.

I pray God helps you find peace through your loss and in the process grow closer to Him.

Hugs Forever,
