How can a Mother overcome hurt of a Broken Heart while loving and caring for her child?

A broken heart is something almost everyone has experienced at least once in his/her lifetime. But there is no hurt or pain a person could ever go through like that of a mother when she tries to care and love her child and while handling her child’s wrong doings. I believe once a mother, always a mother, but after many disappointments there comes a time when a mother has to finally take care of herself as she takes care of her child. As mothers, we deal with a lot of hurt and stress too often that causes a broken heart which can at times be very severe. This hurt could ultimately lead to regret or tragic circumstances, consuming a mother’s life if she doesn’t resist it. However, with the right treatment and advice there is hope to mend a broken heart and make any mother live as a whole again.

While facing a few difficult times with my own children, I've discovered that thousands of mothers are similarly dealing with agonizing heartaches and pain. I feel blessed and take pleasure in sharing my own experience. I take pride in telling that now many of my pains are limited, and most of them are over. Through my learning of how to make peace with my children’s dealings, my advice to a broken hearted mother is that if you find yourself in heartbreak for endless number of times, all mothers must make peace with what is going on with their child. At the very least, respect the effort and cherish every moment you spend with your child. I learned to do that through prayer, practicing patience and understanding. I came to the realization and made peace with what was going on with my children and learned to treasure every moment we shared.

How to overcome hurt from a broken heart?

Firstly, spend some time in prayer on a regular basis. This will help you in analyzing the mistakes you make while trying to cope with your child’s ill behavior or bad deeds. Secondly, help your child realize that their activities haven’t been up to the mark, and continue to show love but firm love. Thirdly, get involved with other mothers by joining a support team (trustworthy church-going mothers). Last but not the least, never give up hope, never speak rudely or shower negative words on your child even when it seems like things are getting worse. This requires considerable control over anger and managing the situation tactfully. Always stay positive, try not to think about what wrong has the child done, and don’t make an issue of what the child did although this might hurt you. Make peace with what the child did and start doing things with the child that you both love doing. It could be anything, like bowling, watching TV, singing, dancing, etc. This will show that you love them, which would in turn keep your communication line open to maintain a loving relationship thereby.

A Journey called Life

This journey called life is full of heartaches, joys and many lessons to learn. However, it up to us to decide how we begin and end it. I truly believe that every day when we wake up in the morning, we should be cognizant of the fact that time is slipping away very fast and furious like sand in an hourglass. On this journey in this life, we never know the beginning nor the ending to our destiny. Nonetheless, life is a journey where we must live life to the fullest from one moment to the next and remember on this journey only you hold the map.

Life is a journey that is like a broad highway which consists of constant ups and downs, nonetheless, it is up to us to choose and create our own path. We should not allow our heart to guide us, we need to search for ways to stop allowing life’s challenges to get us down. We should always remember this journey we travel consist of path and meditation that can lead to an ongoing journey of gratitude and discovery. Life’s journey can also provide a vehicle to travel on a road that extends infinitely into long distance that is an endless journey where only you hold the map.

We can choose to liberate our minds for whatever lies ahead and prevent life from limiting our vision of the future or discouraging us from achieving what we are inclined to become. Although, the journey of life will not always be smooth because most times we will encounter many challenges, we should never despair but treasure every moment. Every choice or decision we make should be pursued carefully and passionately because on this journey only you hold the map.

Despite the fact that at some point life present to us infinite possibilities, it those challenging times that always propel us towards realizing our purpose in life and greatness.

Each one of us has the potential to succeed. The challenges we face in life are only meant to test our courage, strengthen our spirit, transform our weaknesses into strength and inspire faith for a better future. Sometimes life’s challenges can make us feel that the current situation we face clashes with how we’d like to proceed in life. However, it is only if we allow life’s challenges to control our direction and resolve that we may never live or realize our full potential. We should not allow life’s challenges to limit our reach for a better future. If we take control of today to our advantage by leaving no stone unturned, tomorrow is already reshaped for the better.

Today Message: Leaving the past in the past & Looking forward to what’s coming next (Brighter days!!!)

What’s done is done, what's gone is gone. One of life's lessons is always moving on. Getting over a first love, dealing with heartbreak, dealing with death and dealing with life. It’s ok to look back and think of fond memories, but keep moving forward and you will live your life happily.

Sometimes you have to forget what’s gone, appreciate what still remain, and look forward to what’s coming next. When a thing is done, it’s done. Don’t look back. Look forward to what’s coming next. Have a Super Saturday!!!

The eyes are useless when the mind is blind.

Meandering down the promenade alone, peering at the grassy greens I go by and seeking desperately for the haven of Life. I do not know how I attained this distance, but I cling to the hope that I will find my way. Nothing familiar has entered my view; my ears have yet to encounter familiar sounds, and my heart, defiantly, opposes my hope and whispers to me that I am still hopelessly far. I have been traveling for such a long time without a clear picture of my ultimate destination that I am frightened, exposed, and vulnerable. I cringe at the thought of taking a step, yet I am horrified at the prospect of not moving. The mechanics of sight still attend me, for my eyes search to and fro, but I can perceive nothing because my mind is disconsolately absent and lost. These eyes are useless when my mind is blind.

I move forward in fear, and even if only through the learned repetition, I begin to talk with the Lord. "Lord, I cannot feel, but I know you are near me, Your Hands stretched out to help me." But how can you help me, this lost sojourner seeing but blind? I am gripped with unimaginable terror. I know you, but I also need to feel you. To feel your loving and warm embrace.

In a moment of epiphany, with a temporarily resuscitated mind, I come to recognize that I cannot fight this war in fear. My paralysis is the result of my despair, and the end of it will be no different from the beginning.

But I sink again to the absence of mind. I suddenly notice again that in all my wandering; I am very alone. I question my movements, my motives, my past, my decisions. Should I keep going? Will the haven of Life be worth it upon my arrival? Can I make a U-turn and change my course forever?
