Last night I finally got some sleep. That was a miracle right there.
My head is spinning with everything that we need to do and my family has voted that we take a ‘day off’. We’re not writing the obituary. We’re not working on the funeral. We’re not doing anything about that for one day.
Thanks to the snowstorm in Denver, all of the people who were supposed to be coming in tonight are stuck - so I guess that G-d wants us to take this day of rest.
That’s hard for me, but wise.
Thinking about you and your family tonight. Praying still.
My thoughts and prayers are still with you, Marie. Don’t forget to take care of you.
How are you doing? Still praying for you.
Many tears have been shed for you and your family and friends from many of us on FR. I believe that The LORD uses all the tears, including mine, shed for you to somehow bear some of your burden of grief. May He wrap His arms around you and your love ones and comfort you. When I have grieved deeply I have found that within my grieving is an indescribable joy in the knowledge of all the beauty that God has blessed me with through the life of the one I have lost.
I lost many of my love ones and for a period of months everyday I had a time of sobbing that was so hard that I thought I might die. I felt like I was being turned inside out. I knew they were in heaven but my mourning could not be quelled until one day my friend and I were driving past a Church that had a message on the sign in front of it. The sign said “Tear not for I am with you”. Somehow that message on the sign that Jesus was with me was delivered into my heart and the God used it to deliver me from my intense long period of grieving. Though I still have times of tears because I miss my love ones I no longer daily sob uncontrollably with almost unbearable grief. Jesus is with me and He is with you. He loves us! Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted.
