number 5, you are surrounded by the praying hearts of mothers - I believe that as mothers we are the strongest prayer warriors around when it concerns one of our children. I also believe that when our own prayers feel like they aren't landing in God's ears, the prayers of other believers keep us in His presence. I know how hard it is to keep your chin up in truly awful circumstances. Acknowledge your feelings and give them a voice during the journey through darkness but always remember that joy will come again.
