Download or read book Agriculture of Grief written by Mejdulene Bernard Shomali and published by New Women's Voices Series. This book was released on 2024-08-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: agriculture of grief: prayers for my father's dementia charts the gradual loss of a beloved parent to dementia. The poems here attempt to navigate multiple landscapes of mourning, multiple iterations of loss. They are quite literally grounded in grief, calling on Shomali's father's relationship to the land as a farmer and a Palestinian. The poems also reference Catholic faith practices, sacraments, and prayers. Shomali invokes, questions, and resists that religiosity as she reckons with her father's relationship to his faith. The poems are at times religious and at times sacrilegious. Written primarily in English, with some Arabic and Arabish interspersed throughout, the poems play with translation, transliteration, code switching, and refusal. The poems experiment with form and lyric, attendant to sound and song especially. Anchored in language and loss, agriculture of grief explores grief as the final form of love, and the capacity and limits of prayer as a kind of mourning.

We must always remember that our loved ones never die, but always live on in our hearts, and these poems do come directly from the heart. I didn’t feel grief straight away. Then all these poems started to come to me. It was like my parents were communicating to me to do it. My dad was so happy when I was going to get married that he bought me my dress. But he couldn’t walk me down the aisle, as he passed away before the big day. My husband-to-be Tony and I decided to hold the wedding on my dad’s birthday. My mum ended up giving me away with my sister Ann as my bridesmaid. We did not forget my dad that day and raised a glass to wish him a happy birthday and wish he was with us. Please enjoy and take comfort from these poems and remember that you are never alone in grief.

Download or read book Magnificent to Hold written by Takira Charles and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-04-24 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where does one begin to put themselves back together again after losing a baby? Broken into tiny pieces, scattered parts of you hidden and never again able to find the core of your identity. Pregnancy, infant loss, and miscarriage are often stigmatized and taboo topics in many cultures, families, and even religious circles. Most people do not know how to respond to grieving mothers or how to be supportive. The lack of dialogue can result in an isolating experience for grieving parents; left alone to ward off feelings of shame and guilt, they suffer in silence. In this collection of poems, the author exposes her brokenness after losing her baby girl due to cervical incompetence at 22 weeks of pregnancy. By sharing her spiritual and emotional journey of pregnancy loss as a Christian, she hopes to provoke conversations about pregnancy loss and help others understand some of the emotions grieving mothers, in particular, may experience. The poems do not shy away from "ugly" emotions, as the author exposes her anger, resentment, confusion, and hopelessness in the unfair unpredictability of life. Yet, her message rings clear throughout the book, that in our darkest nights, in sorrow or depression, we can still trust God with our hearts.
Download or read book The Cure for Sorrow written by Jan Richardson and published by . This book was released on 2020-08 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Jan Richardson unexpectedly lost her husband and creative partner, the singer/songwriter Garrison Doles, she did what she had long known how to do: she wrote blessings. These were no sugar-coated blessings. They minimized none of the pain and bewilderment that came in the wake of a wrenching death. With these blessings, Jan entered, instead, into the depths of the shock, anger, and sorrow. From those depths, she has brought forth words that, with heartbreaking honesty, offer surprising comfort and stunning grace. Those who know loss will find kinship among these pages. In these blessings that move through the anguish of rending into the unexpected shelters of solace and hope, there shimmers a light that helps us see we do not walk alone. From her own path of grief, Jan offers a luminous, unforgettable gift that invites us to know the tenacity of hope and to recognize the presence of love that, as she writes, is "sorrow's most lasting cure."
