    Just take one day at a time. Worrying about the future never changed anything. Sometimes this is part of grieving: feeling lost and alone.
    You are not alone. We are here to support you. We care. And God cares. If you can form a close relationship with Jesus, He can be a great source of stability and strength in your life. The scriptures tell us to cast all our care upon Him, for He cares for us. He is a rock when all the rest of your world is shaking. Trust in Him. He carried me through a time when I honestly didn't think I could go on another day. He rescued me. If I can survive my son's suicide, then you canl also be a survivor of devastating circumstances.
    Love,
    Chris

    I definitely felt this on my soul. My dad was killed, my brother died from cancer, my husband took his own life and then grandpa passed away last week. All of this was within the past 2 years. I’m petrified to let my kids go anywhere. I feel terrible because I have 3 teenagers but I don’t want to risk losing all I have left in this world.

    Thank you for honestly sharing your feelings. I am sorry for all the losses you have suffered in so short a time span.
    I don't know if this will help you, but a scripture says, "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and love, and a sound mind."
    If you believe God can help you, then claim this scripture for yourself every time you start to feel fear. You have learned, as I have, that we are not as much in control as we thought we were. But I have a great trust in Jesus since He proved His love by offering up His life. God is really the only source of stability in this shaking world. May He help you.
    Chris
