Why do we have to struggle? If we didn't...then what would be the nature of Faith? We think we know how things will be...then we are given a totally unexpected situation. There is much in life we cannot control...and as much as we want an answer to our 'Why?'...we just need to have faith that there is a reason...even though we cannot understand it...and although we don't have control over certain circumstances in our lives...we do have control over how we respond to those circumstances...and remember that doubt sees the obstacles and faith sees the way...

Faith ~v~ Doubt

Doubt sees the obstacles. 
Faith sees the way.
Doubt sees the darkest night. 
Faith sees the day.
Doubt dreads to take a step. 
Faith soars on high.
Doubt questions "Who believes"?
Faith answers "I".

It does seem to get worse every day Gail...the days seem to get heavier and even merge one into another...and the weeks go by and there seems to be little comfort in anything...as each day confirms that they are gone from us, and nothing will change that in this lifetime.

I do know that doing a little each day goes a long way...and we have to do little things for ourselves too...it is what our loved ones would want...they do not want us suffering and struggling...and although we are submerged in sadness...there will come a day when we will remember the happy times too...and that is way of witnessing and sharing their lives here.

So have F.A.I.T.H...FOR Angels Inspire To Heal...O:)

I am here if you want to share... 

Gail...I think it feels worse as we are grieving...and we have to go through the grieving process...no-one escapes it...if we loved deep then we grieve deep...and some days will be easier than others...but we have to keep going...to keep growing...and then one day you will feel a little better...and I will feel a little better...and our days will get a little better too.

JO...thank you for sharing your valuable thoughts.

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More

Being the Other Woman/Other Man

This is for anyone who has lost their lover to death and you were the other woman/other man in their life. We have to grieve in silence. I can't find any support groups and feel like I'm the only one going through this situationSee More
