Viki, i am sorry for your loss. My dad passed away March 4th. I went quietly insane for a bit. I use that term because I feel my mind was all over the place and so many thoughts and memories were constantly running through my head. I couldn't focus or concentrate and the basic functions of life were to hard to do. (getting out of bed, getting dressed, brushing my teeth, etc.) What you are going through is tough, it's tough for all of us and we hurt in many different ways. But i think the key to all this is reaching out, finding tools to help you along with this processes. I struggled, but I turned to this site, went to the doctor, i have antidepressants, and sleeping pills, but not taking them so much anymore, and i attend a griefshare group. It is a 13 week program, a video session, book and support group, i have completed it once, but i am going through it again. It really really helped me. They also offer online stuff for you too, check them out, www.griefshare.org. So as we journey through our grief and mourning, i hope you realize you are not alone, we are here and we all know the anguish that you are experiences. Isaiah 40:31, "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not be weary, they will walk and not be faint." I will pray for your comfort, your peace of mind, and your pain my friend. Be strong in the Lord! Love & God bless ya, mel.

I am new to all this & I am trying to find a way to help me deal with the loss of my Father. Not sure if this is where I need to be or not, I did a google and this looked like a safe and welcoming site. If I am doing this wrong, please tell me and point me in the right direction.....

You will raise up from the ashes of grief and find each day a bit of sadness and pain has burnt away from your heart. Lean on the Lord for strength and love. Lately my sister and i are turning to each other, and becoming closer too. I know its because of my dad, his spirit, his blood, his blood runs through us and its up to us to keep him alive. Just as our ancestors give us our heritage, our parents leave us their legacy. So draw on the strength of all the teachings, instructions, and love your dad bestowed upon you. You are who you are because he decided to be a loving father that invested himself in you. Again, HOPE for better days is what will carry you thru the tough ones, as well as the Grace of our LORD! Love & God bless ya!

REally leaning on the Lord for strength and comfort. So i hope you all are doing good, and just wanted to share, whatever you may be going thru, you will come thru it, May God give you strength and carry you in your times of need. God bless you all.

July 9 would have been Dad's 75 birthday. It has been a tough week trying to remember the good times and missing him so much. I love you Dad. Please God tell him for me. I do appreciate all the time I had with him. Please pray for me that I will be able to deal with this tomorrow. I am going to try and stay busy. Thanks yall for letting me once again vent. I pray that you all are ok.

just wanted to post this, "I will turn mourning into gladness, I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow. - Jeremiah 31:13 From laughter to tears, a cycle that repeats itself constantly, i have been battling with just moving along. 'Moving along', that's what i call it. Not that i need to get over losing my dad, but just moving, versus, staying in bed, not wanting to do nothing for myself or my family. So i tell myself to keep 'moving along'. I have received lots encouraging scriptures that joy will return, so my hope is in the Lord to fulfill His promise. So if this scripture helps you, which i hope it does, then have hope in JOY and LAUGHTER returning again. Love & God bless you all.
