About Our Ministry
Rainbow Faith is a Christian Grief Ministry. Our mission is to encourage and uplift those
traveling the painful journey through grief, with words of inspiration, faith and hope through
our heartfelt grief poems and stories, and a full line of unique and inspirational bereavement
gifts.
After the last casserole dish has gone home and friends and family have gone their own
way, the bereaved still have the difficult task of trying to piece their lives back together, find
some sense of direction in their life, and fill the void losing their loved one has created. The
reality of their grief has only just begun.
Ferna Lary Mills
Director/Author
After losing both of her parents within a ten-month span, Ferna relied heavily on her deep
faith in God for the strength to make it through her own personal grief. Much of her time
was spent in writing down her most heartfelt thoughts and feelings in poems, essays and
journaling, which she decided to share here at this website and in her book, "The Rainbow,
Words of Inspiration, Faith and Hope".
Ferna resides in Texas where she manages Rainbow Faith Gifts and this online Grief
Ministry. Her strong faith shows in every aspect of her life as she strives to continue to be a
source of encouragement to others for Christ.
This website began with a simple poem, Letter From Heaven, that she wrote as a tribute to
her mother after she went home to be with the Lord in 1999. After writing that poem, she
decided to create a single web page to share the poem with her brother who lives in
Connecticut, many miles from her home in Texas. He shared that web page with a dear
friend of his who had just lost her father and her response was so heartwarming, Ferna
decided to share it with others who may be going through that same loss.
She says, "I was encouraged to share many of my other poems and essays that I had
written after my parent's deaths, and thus Rainbow Faith began it's growth. I've since
referred to this website many times over as "God's Snowball" for it just continues to grow,
not by my work, but by His."
She named this website "Rainbow Faith" because the Rainbow is a symbol of one of God's
many promises and Faith is simply that courage to trust in all of His promises. This is best
described in her poem, "The Rainbow".
"I thank God daily for the many blessings I've received as a result of the website, and for the
many friends I've met along the way. He has never left my side, through all of the sorrow
and the pain, and I pray all of the Glory from this website truly goes to Him. For without the
Lord's grace, strength, and wonderful peace, this place would not exist." ~ Ferna
Betty Sue Eaton
Associate Author
As our Rainbow Faith Associate, Betty is a woman of amazing grace and diversity. Her
stories on Life After Loss come from a wide range of grief experiences: Her daughter died
as a result of a car-pedestrian accident at age 11; her son died from renal cancer, her
grandson died from injuries he received in a motorcycle accident. Yet, through all of her
losses, Betty has clung tightly to her faith and the amazing grace that God has bestowed on
her.
She is the author of "Bittersweet Autumn", and "Listening to the Garden Grow", a spiritual
book about finding God in the garden. Prior to moving to her new home in Boerne, TX, she
co-sponsored a grief recovery counseling group in St. George, Utah.
From the cover of her book, "Listening to the Garden Grow", Jack Canfield, author of
Chicken Soup for the Soul said it best:
"Betty Sue Eaton uncovers the silver lining behind every cloud ~
the pot of gold beneath each rainbow."
Bereavement Gifts, Memorial Gifts, and Sympathy Gifts
After many requests, a special selection of bereavement gifts was added for those who
wanted to say they cared but just couldn't find the words. Every sympathy gift we offer is
faith based and from the heart. With each gift purchased, you have the option of adding a
special gift card with your exact sentiments at no additional cost. The proceeds from these
gifts help to support our online ministry. Visit our Sympathy Gift Shop online today.
