My Daughter - 2/22/2008 5:49 PM ( #1 )
I would like to ask my Gratitude family to join me in prayer for my daughter who is facing a crisis point in her life at the moment.
She is in a very unhappy marriage and is struggling to move forward into the next stage.......whatever that may be.
It's very hard to see your child unhappy and seemingly unable to do the things which will bring change. Mid-life is round the corner for her and I wish her courage to find a life for herself while still young.

Jude, I will say a prayer and light a candle for your daughter, Jean. Life is just too short to stay in an unhappy marriage. I pray that she finds the courage to find the happiness that she deserves.
 
With Hope each of us can have a life with Peace, Faith and Love.

Hi Jude, Adding my prayers that your daughter finds positive focus and makes choices for her highest good. My heart goes out to you having to stand by and just be there for her when she needs you. Do you think that we mothers just forgot to pick up the hand book " How to be a mother, stay sane, not worry while at the same time have a fantastic relationship with your children"? Namaste my friend Glenys x

Dear Jude,
Having just returned from a workshop in a very intense spiritual atmosphere, where the theme was following one´s conscience, which is God´s voice in each one of us, I pray that your daughter will be guided to make the decision which is right for her. I have thought of you in prayer while at that place, and I am going to light a candle for both of you now.

Love, Juliana

An update on Jean who is staying with me for a few days.
 
She seems to totally lack any motivation or interest in anything and is not the Jean I know at the moment. It's quite worrying, but I'm letting her just 'be' and talk if she feels like it. She's normally quite a fiery type and it's sad to see that missing in her. Perhaps she just needs to relax for a few days without any pressure.
 
Thank you for caring and please keep up the candles.
 
Jude

Dear Jude,
I keep your daughter and a mother´s sorrow in my prayers and am going to light another candle for both of you. I know only too well how a mother identifies with the cares and worries of her "child". In an earlier post you wrote of 18 years of unhappiness - so what seems to be most needed now is patience, how hard ever it may be. And trust that eventually all will be well.

Love,
Juliana

Dear Jude, I am sorry to hear that you find Jean not her usual self. She may, as you say, just need some space to relax and assess her situation. This is hard for you to watch, I am sure.
I'll light another candle and keep both of you in my prayers,
 
Much love,
Edda
Peace and joy!

Dear Jude,
Your daughter, Jean probably just needs to get away to recharge and think. She's lucky that she has a great Mom to come and stay with for a few days. I pray that Jean will again find the love and happiness that she deserves.

Thank you dear Vicky.
 
Today Jean came circle-dancing with me and said afterwards that it energised her and cleared her brain a bit. We had a meal out afterwards, and when we got home she opened up and talked a bit.
 
I'm trying to steer her towards going out on her own, which is hard I know, and finding some pastimes which will make her feel better about herself.
 
Lots of Love to all, Jude
Love is the only way

Hi Jude, praying that your daughter makes positive decisions for herself. Praying that the Angels surround you and your family in healing, comforting energy. Take care. Glenys x
