Berna my prayers go out to you. My daughter was shot Sept 2012. She was 29 with 2 sons 9 and 6. They do have the three guys and their trials are in May. It is very hard. My children and I are so close. I just try to keep it together for her sons, they have something to say about her everyday. I pray that God gives us all the strength we need and I truly love being able to come here and vent with so many caring people. Thanks to every one of you.

Berna,

I am so sorry! (((hugs))) There really are no words that will remove your pain but I hope knowing that others care bring you a sense of peace. We all travel this "grief" journey differently but knowing you are not suffering alone might bring you some comfort. We can live through it but it will be painful.

Friends of ours just suffered a home invasion that resulted in the death of a husband of 32 years. We were at a party where we would have celebrated their anniversary with them. Instead they did not show up - when we heard that their garage door was en we knew something was wrong - they never left the garage open. Came to find him tied up and stabbed to death in one closet and her tied up in another closet. Instead of a party we got a funeral.

When someone takes the life of another they follow in the steps of Satan the Devil. John 8:44 says, "YOU are from YOUR father the Devil, and YOU wish to do the desires of YOUR father. That one was a manslayer when he began, and he did not stand fast in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaks the lie, he speaks according to his own disposition, because he is a liar and the father of [the lie]." Many people today truly seem to follow in Satan's footsteps as though they want to be like him.

The solace and comfort we need I believe, can only come from the promises of God found in the Bible. How do you feel?

(Isaiah 41:10) "Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not gaze about, for I am your God. I will fortify you. I will really help you. I will really keep fast hold of you with my right hand of righteousness.’"

(Isaiah 41:13) "For I, Jehovah your God, am grasping your right hand, the One saying to you, ‘Do not be afraid. I myself will help you.’"

Thankyou Brenda,

I just don't see no future for me. I feel so shame. I feel like everyone know me and I had 3 three children. Now MY family is missing my only son. Why do I feel so shame. I raised 6children. And  at the age of 21. They are all grown except my son was still at home with us and my only son. I always only want one son...to look after me...A mother's son...Bond! Now I am 50 and to old to have anymore children. I know having a child would never replace my son...I just want to be needed again. Someone to call me Mom.
