2 Years ago today

I'm sitting here at my desk at my job waiting for something...anything, the phone to ring, something more crazy to happen to the USA...Just saying I miss him and I love him doesn't even come close to how I actually feel right now. When does the pain end?! We were only together for 7 years but he was my everything!

 

I know the feeling. I was with my husband for 38 years and it's now 2 months since he died. I feel so totally lost. I can survive on my own, I'm not a helpless aging biddy, but surviving isn't living. Hang in there. I tell myself that this too shall pass.

 

I can assure you that it will not always be this bad for you. This walk of grief is a time of attempting to adjust to the drastic changes that have taken place in our lives. It does not happen in a short period of time. It is a walk through time.
I could not have gone on without God helping me. Our son committed suicide and I did not think I could go on even one day. But I knew enough about how good God is and how much He cares for us to know that He would help me. I just continued waiting for His help and He did help. When I had questions and talked with a counselor, hthe counselor would always pray right then with me. He didn't have to have the answer because I received the answer from God. The Lord Jesus Christ gave everything for us to show us how much He loves us. When I couldn't go on, he carried me. When I was ready to give up and end my life, he protected me. When I thought my heart was going to break because my chest hurt so badly, He comforted me. When we turn to God for help, we always receive it.
Jesus gave his life for us to show us how much he loves us and to make it possible for us to repent of our sins, turn to him for forgiveness, and come back into communion with God. Jesus is light and life. He is everything we could need. His grace is sufficient to carry us through this life even when we feel we can't go on. If you will turn to Him and ask for his help during this devastating time in your life, He will help you.
We care about you here because we have all suffered a great, deep, heart wrenching loss of someone we loved dearly. Please continue to share your feelings here as you feel led. Talking things out helps to sort out some things that are so troubling to us.
Chris
