Dear Kim,

 

If only I could remove this pain from you, I would do it. However, please allow me to make a suggestion that I have found helpful. I believe that Jesus gave us a hint by what is mentioned at Hebrews 12:2, which says, " . . .looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured. . .”

 

Jesus set an example for us to look forward to the future, or, the end result. He knew he was going to die but his death, no matter how terrible, would mean life to all mankind and it would glorify his father’s name. He would also become the King of God’s Kingdom government that would bring blessings to all men. His focus was on the benefits of bringing the earth back to its original paradise conditions, bringing all those in the memorial tombs back to life and destroying death forever.

 

(Psalm 37:10, 11)” And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more; And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. 11 But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.”

 

(Psalm 37:29) “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever upon it.

(John 5:28) Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.”

 

(Revelation 21:4) “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

 

So it helps me to focus not on the present pain of our losses, but on the future promises of God. If we focus on the pain, that is all we have, pain.  However, if we focus on the future joys, we have HOPE – if we don’t have hope we truly have nothing. . .

 

Your friend,

Brenda

Having a really really hard time coping with the loss of my loved one.  She passed 7 months ago.  It doesn't get easier with time and especially around the holidays.  At times I wish I would have died too. I feel when she left 1/2 of me went too.  I don't know who I am any more.  I feel like an empty shell.  I just go through the motions in life.

Yesterday the family buried my 29 year old nephew. Charlie died from Lung cancer. He fought his battle for almost 7 years.

There is no war like the war of cancer.

I felt so bad for my niece Sarah. They were driving back home from a weekend trip (supplied by the "make a wish" foundation) and he took a turn for the worse.

He died as they pulled into the driveway of their home. What a night mare.

As bad as cancer is....death feels worse.

My mom died on March 18th, 2011.  I miss her more every day.  I am just waiting to join her.  There is no more life to be lived without her.

He died the day after Christmas last year...just dumbfounded....not sure what to do...not sure about anything..Major depression, guess that's normal...just hope and pray that somehow God will help and comfort us all through the upcoming weeks....love Joni

Debbie I feel you.  Been 6 months on the 12th.  It is getting harder and harder.  Her son's birthday was yesterday and it is the first time without his mom.  It broke my heart.  He tried all day to be strong but finally broke down.  We were talking about how difficult holidays are going to be and i told him some how, some way we would get through it together.  I don't understand why life can be so cruel.  I was just talking to someone on another site who just lost her 34 year old daughter.  Her daugher left behind her husband and a 3 yr old and 7 year old. This world is cruel.  SENDING  U A BIG HUG!

I really don't think I'm going to make it through this holiday season without the love of my life here. it's been 8 long months but still feels as though it was just yesterday! How in this world am i suppose to go on??Days like today I wish I could just join him. God I miss him so much! I don't understand how I finally found happiness and true loove again only to have it all taken away. WHY??? All I wanted was to be happy and I was. He treated me like an angel now what?? 

Comment by Peggy Henry on November 10, 2012 at 4:29pm

It is almost 5months since i lost him to cancer.  Today did the switch for seasonal clothes, summer away and winter out.  What a lonely feeling to have only your own to deal with.  I hate this life!
