With sincerest gratitude and tears streaming down my face, i thank you for your love and concern. He was a lurker and loved free Rebublic. He grew in wisdom and everyday common sense because of this site. I would be emotional whereas he was practical. He would have to wait at least 5 minutes for me to stop laughing when out of the blue a freeper would make a joke when a serious subject was being discussed. this is why we love this site so much. i don’t know if that makes sense, however, with all the different sites I read, this is the best. My God I miss him!
“Grieve not nor speak of me with tears,
but smile and laugh as if I were beside you,
I loved you so...Twas Heaven here with you.”
Time and prayer will heal your sorrow. You are not alone and do not isolate yourself. Try to seek our a grief support group at a local church or other organization. Prayers up for you.
You were lucky to have a good loving spouse. I know how sad you are without him but I’m alone right now with 4 kids because my husband needs time to fulfill his responsibilities to us, and I don’t know if he ever will. I’m not alone but so very lonely too. And I don’t have that connectedness to miss. I’m happy for you that you had it, I’m happy for you and your memories. Hugs.
My belief is that the Lord rarely takes away someone important from your life without bringing someone else to fill that void, Sometimes, it’s the Lord Himself that wants a closer relationship. Ask the Holy Spirit to comfort you and lead you to your next source of joy and security. He will be faithful to provide the way.
God bless you this Christmas.
We send our FReeper love to you and we miss that fellow as well. Not that this is much comfort but you’re in our FR family forever.
I pray that you gain strength in the passing days ahead. You show courage and strength through your notes of appreciation.
God Bless you!
I am praying for you, dear FRiend.
I went through this three years ago, and it is a struggle.
((((HUGS))))
