My Sister is dead. My mother’s 19 year old DAUGHTER is DEAD. I have sought support from the church. Rallied light in written form by google mapping houses all up & down the city my mom lives. I spent $100 so I could print and send 100 letters, and that was just to begin. Calling upon the community to send my mom a LETTER, spreading their story of hope, of rising, of love, of support... anything. Now my mom is dying in her living because she is not seen, and she is not carried in her grief. She will not reach out because she is withering in her pain. I have to be the one to hold her because it’s our responsibility to carry each other when we’re falling.
I have had ZERO responses from the church. 0 from her neighboring “community.” Well, I’m not done looking. Community can be found wherever somebody raises their hand.
It takes a village to raise a child, and it takes one to raise a mother when her child is gone.
Then I found TR. I asked Glennon's team to rally light, from her tribe ... because she has one and we don’t, (yet.) I’m trying. In my grief, I am trying. I lost part of my Soul losing my sister. I will not let my mom die in her life on my watch.
Please raise your hand for her. You can email me and I'll reply with details.

We are watching my sister-in-law and cousin both battle through the loss of their only children. It all feel so unreal and we all feel helpless at times. One thing that has helped our healing is our gigantic family. Because of there strength, I would like to help hold space and stand up with you while you’re supporting your mom ❤️

I would love to reach out to you and your mom. Losing a family member is devastating and no one should be isolated in their grief. Thinking of you and your mom.
would love to create and send a card to her. My email is kmdico@aol.com. Sending much love and continue to keep you all in my heart and in my prayers. Xoxo Kristie
I have watched my mom die from her grief for the last 10.5 years after losing my brother. It's a very painful process to watch and wreaks havoc on our tender hearts watching those we love suffer. I would love to send her a note of encouragement and some light in this darkness. I'm happy to sit with her and talk about her grief, as I did with you after Jami passed. I can offer healing art through writing, creative expression, or just talking... Whatever she needs. My heart goes out to both of you. Please let me know how I can help. Here's my email whimsicaljewels@rocketmail.com
Sending love and light, Toni

Much love and prayers!
So grateful that you reached out in your time of grief & loss! I hope you will be able to forgive those around you for their lack of response. Unfortunately our culture is uncomfortable with dealing with grief and loss. It is like the " horse on the dining room table"....everyone sees it but they are too uncomfortable to mention it. I know this because I lost my son in a terrible accident years ago. I felt totally isolated and grief stricken for months but luckily I received some tender mercies along the way. I learned that I could become bitter or better. I chose better. I learned that if my son's song was too be heard then I would have to be the one doing the singing. There are so many tears to be cried, it's best to cry them out as they come, rather than repress the anguish. Now, many years later I realize that I have found peace in my journey. I have sought and received answers from above and an unshakable knowledge that my son is still close to me and that we will be reunited. Continue to walk the path of grief, there is peace and a depth of character and empathy derived no other way as a result of this journey. Tragedy is a part of this mortal life on earth but it is in no wise the end....
Sending a multitude of love and prayers in behalf of both you and your precious Mom.
(((Hugs))) Sincerely your friend,
Mary Lou

Hang in there.
I love what you are trying to do for your mom. I’ve been trying to do the same for mine for almost 3 years. I lost my sister, too. I know what you see when you look at your mom. That’s why I want to send my letter to you. You’re lifting someone up, but you need lifting, too. You need to be seen, too.

My tears are flowing..... your precious heart is carrying a big load. The loss of a young sister who you loved and identified with more closely than you realized till now in her absence.
As well as the tender but heavy burden for your grieving mother.
She may not seem to be recovering well.... she is in the deepest despair at this time. However, your presence and concerns are reaching into her heart. Your Mom is experiencing a normal response to this great loss.
If I could I would hold your Mom in my arms and rock and rock her gently as if she were my own daughter. And maybe for just a moment she could rest from the torment of necessary grieving.
You are and will always be her deepest comfort even if it doesn't seem so right now.
We also lost our vibrant handsome young son a few years ago. No.... you never completely get passed the heartbreak. But you do move ahead. And the love of your remaining children is a great life line.
I don’t know you but somehow feel quite close to you and your dear mama at this time .
My earnest and compassion filled prayers are with you. Love Michelle O’Brien
With warmest regards and heartfelt hugs,
Meredith
The strength you are showing right now, while you’re grieving, is an inspiration. Your mom needs you, and she’ll get more support than ever imaginable from this amazing community of sisters. Take care of yourself too- whatever that looks like to you, and have faith that love from the universe will help you both through.
Please know that your Mom is being thought of and held up by all of us in the amazing community Glennon created through Together Rising. It is in fact To Get Her Rising, after all. Thank you so much for reaching out even in this hardest season of your life, to make us all aware of the help your dear mother so desperately needs. May her pain ease in time and the light return to her eyes soon.
I will be hear to listen or to help, which ever she wants or needs.
She is not alone, she has a wonderful daughter in you !

I am so very sorry to hear that you lost your sweet girl, Jami. I am a new mama to 2 girls. Eleanor is 2.5 and Charlotte is 2 months old and my mama heart absolutely breaks to think of losing one of them. I know that there is nothing that can be said or done to take away your pain. It may feel like you are alone in your pain, but please know that we see you and grieve with you. I am sending you love and strength and big mama hugs.

I lost my sister 26 years ago—killed by a drunk driver (at the time, she had just turned 21, I was 17). I have been where you are now and have watched my family fall apart and then put itself back together again— forever changed, still broken, but stronger and wiser and more grateful than before.
I would love to send a note of encouragement to your mom—to let her know that she has the support and love of strangers—and to help her understand that love always wins.
Your mama is so fortunate to have you looking after her, Jessi. Thank you.
I am so very sorry about the loss of your sister. I can only imagine how difficult it has been and on top of your loss to witness the pain your mother is bearing as well. You are a kind, sweet soul to care so deeply and work so hard to help your mom. I would love to do whatever small part I can do to help raise her spirit or offer some support and love.

We lost a brother just a few months ago and we all need a tribe especially for times like these! You are all seen and cared for.
Kristy, I am so very sad for the loss of your precious baby, Jami. I also had to say goodbye to a teenage child. The pain is searing and feels like it will rip and tear until you think you are disappearing.
There are no words to make it less painful, but Kristy, there is a world of caring women holding you close in their hearts, praying. Once in awhile try to lean into that compassion and allow them to (virtually) lift you from the mire. It may only last for a moment or two at first but those moments will grow longer. Wrap you arms around yourself and imagine hundreds of gentle hugs.

Assonta - Thank you so much!! I emailed you yesterday (9/16) with details!
Anonymous - Thank you kindly for sending your love : )
Love, Jessi
I am doing a service event with mom and daughters that would love to write your mom. Can you give me a little more details like her first name and and address we could send them too? Is she able to receive other things like small treats or trinkets that might brighten her day?
We are getting together June 28th and would love to put something together to send her. Let me know if this would be helpful to her.
Thanks,
Mollie
