Yes....in time God heals the wounds and uses our experiences to give us more compassion for others in similar situations. God has not forgotten you nor will...
I felt from the time that my Stephen was born that he was only on load to us
for a time. His condition brought us great sorrow but also in time he
became the...
After Stephen died, a hole opened up inside me and for long days that is
where I lived, in that deep hole. I wrote this and put it away and had
honestly...
Wow, Evelyn, that's amazing--stunning, really. Thank you for sharing. You are a person I'm really going to enjoy meeting when we all reach glory together. John...
John, I hope that those words written in a time of great sorrow, will bring some
comfort and peace to grieving hearts. I wrote several pieces right after he...
Evelyn, what a pretty name. That was my mothers name. Thank you so very much for sending Transistions. I have printed it off and plan on reading and re-reading...
i am sorry for your loss. i lost my son 6 months ago and sometimes i sleep with his picture. his wife will not send us any of his belongings so i have nothing....
Oh yes, Sephen had a little stuffed Gizmo fromthe movie Gremlins. That little thing had traveled with us every vacation we took and he slept with it every...
Donna, It will get better. Maybe not tomorrow or the next day but it will get better. Losing a child is the worst thing in the world for a parent to face....
When I read the posts here, I think of this quote: I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise,...
I have never lost a child but I wanted to make one point loudly and graciously clear to you, Donna, and to everyone in this group. Not one single of you will...
Donna, Evelyn is so right, sometimes we need to let others know we are not doing fine. I believe each of us that has lost a loved one, or one of our precious...
i can understand what you each are saying. i have often said if anyone i know comes to this part of their lives i will be so there for them they will wish i...
Hi Donna, I'm so glad you come here. First, you have a ministry here. Maybe it doesn't feel like it, or you don't experience "good" feelings about this group,...
thank you john for all your encouragement. even when i sound nuts. which i probably do all the time. did you start this group? what a blessing to so many of...
Sometimes the "ministry" God asks us to perform at points in our life is like in Ephesians 6...once we have put on the whole armor of God each day to stand....
i head says you are right. but my heart says this hurts to bad to be of any possible good to anyone. oh sure, i can be there for others who lose their children...
Maybe in this time God is trying to let you know what a blessing it is to others when you serve them by knowing firsthand what the feeling of being served and...
Trust me...in the long run it will make it shorter! I tried to still do and be everything to everyone else in the beginning and it just felt like it was ...
what is God's plan for working through grief? i have never heard it that way before. Does He have a plan. I have read my bible and must have missed it. if i...
Could God's plan in working thru grief to teach us compassion, faith and an even deeper sense of love from God as He takes us thru it? I don't know why we...
thanks. i will probably need you more then you know. friends i have never met and probably would have never except for these times. where do you live? tell me...
Hi Donna, My default answer would be that you're not nuts, but I'm sure everything within your being is screaming at you making you feel that way. You're not...
yes, we love that song. it was played at Bryan's funeral. not for him...he was in Glory. But for those of us left behind. everytime i hear it i think of how...
Hi Donna, Something came to mind as I read your post. Donna wrote: once he told me that when me and his dad got older it was his responsibilty to take care of...
i must not understand. i read the passage. you say bryan did not have to die for this message. but are you saying that i would not have depended on God fully...
Hi Donna, Sorry I didn't explain it a bit better. After Jesus' died, he was saying that wasn't the end of their relationship with him. It would just take a...
thanks, i couldn't imagine you meaning it in a hurtful way. i just am trying to understand things the best i can. even though we do not get the whole picture,...
