Profile Information:
- About Me:
- I am a forty year old father of two girls. I am married for a second time. I am more sensitive than most men, a consequence of being primarily raised by two strong women, my grandmother and mother. At this point in my life I have lost both grandparents and my mother as well as my faith....
- About my Loss:
- I lost my grandmother to leukemia some years ago. My mother passed six months ago after a ten year battle with cancer. My grandfather passed two weeks ago after fighting Alzheimer's disease for the last six years. My father has just been diagnosed with prostate cancer. My wife has taken a job two hours from home and has a separate home until I finish the police academy in May. I have also lost any faith I ever had. I am alone

Adam, please allow my family and I to extend a truly sympathetic ear. May I ask, what faith were you brought up with? Why do you feel your faith is lost? We have a 40 year old son and 6 soon to be 7 grandchildren. My family lost my father in law July 2010 and we have all taken that very hard. To this day my, now 5 year old, granddaughter draws pictures for great pawpaw and we keep them in a Tupperware container.
This road of grief is filled with terrible highs and lows. Each person is different and handles grief in a way unique to themselves. Loss or damaged faith seems to be one of the normal things that can happen but does not mean that it is lost forever. Sometimes this kind of "grief related loss of faith" is more a list of new unanswered questions. Questions when answered from the Bible can restore a persons faith.
Just want you to know that you are not alone - many here have been where you are and will be here for you. If you become uncomfortable speaking publicly feel free to email me at
Passing it Forward,
Brenda
