This is what I woke to spinning in my head this morning. It is about a group of mothers that have 1 thing in common the loss and bereavement of a child.
Yes there really is a group here in the surrounding area where these moms meet to help one another find a new path without their child in their life…..
The Listening Hearts
When a woman gives birth to a child her heart grows bigger in every way. As her children grows she prays everyday to keep them from harm in hopes that they will grow strong.
Then one day there comes a knock on the door, it’s the worst nightmare a mother can hear as she falls to the floor, she was given news that the child she did bore was found living no more.
Her heart gave out as she started to shout, what will I do, I can’t live without you?
As the days grew longer the nightmares got stronger and she found herself not wanting to live any longer.
Then along came a friend that said, “let me lend you a hand, I want you to meet other mothers like you that do not know what to do.”
These mothers they meet to find answers they seek, instead of the hand they find a new friend whose heart is broken just like them.
They listen with understanding and compassion to every word you are passing for they too, are hurting like you and are needing a new heart and asking, where do I start?
Listen, do you hear that beat?
It’s other mothers that are here now standing at your feet, and they greet you with kisses on the cheek. It is these other mothers who have lost their child’s hearts too and they now welcome you.
There is a bond that no one other than a mother of the Listening Hearts can hear as they tell you that you my dear are always welcomed here!
Listening Hearts where moms find others in a similar struggle, a bereaved heart that is missing a beat from losing a child.
Where and when is there a group in Knoxville?
