I will pray for Carlina and her family that they may be healed of their grief and that joy immediately fill their lives once again.

Job 38:7
When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Job 41:22
In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.

Gonzo,
My prayers are on the way.

Carl and Carlina and family,
This is such a difficult time in your life. Know that I know what you are experiencing since my husband died from lung cancer.

It is a rugged road to walk, but the Lord has afforded me "knocks on the head", guidance, assistance (food and encouragement) when I needed it and a spiritual healing that only comes from our Savior, Jesus Christ.

I pray that Gonzo will copy off this thread for you, and that you will discover that these items are available to you also.

Some books that I found helpful were:
When Bad Things Happen to Good People by Rabbi Kirschner
On Death and Dying by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
and my favorite -- Without Thorns, It's Not a Rose by Father Jack Scott.

Of help to me (give yourself 9 months to a year to work through some grief) was a grief-recovery Beginning Experience weekend. There are probably some offered in your area. Check the source out.

Prayers for your friend from Texas.

[Exit148]

Carlina and Carl -- My deepest sympathy goes out to you ----losing a mother and wife is not easy, and I hope our prayers will ease your heavy hearts.

Think of those lovely lines from a famous poem ------ "She is not dead, she is just away." The words may help lift your spirits.

God bless you all.

Prayers going up for Carlina and her family, and Smooches to YOU!

[Chong]

Dear Lord, I pray that you soothe Carlina, Carl, and the rest of the family's hearts and bring them peace and comfort. It is so hard when we lose our loved ones, but help us remember that this is only the beginning, not the end, oh Lord.

When we are born, we have to leave the comforting place we've been and scared, but loving hands and smiling faces eagerly await us. I believe it's like that when we leave this earth. Your Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.

Thank you for the time you grant us with our loved ones and help us celebrate the lives of them who leave before us. I pray in Jesus' Name, Amen.
