Dear Tess,

   Truth be told, I wish you never had a reason to find this website.  However, you have found a very caring group who are walking the the grief highway as you are.  This highway is highly personal and individualized.  Still, you will find empathy, compassion and understanding.

   I lost my father in law on July 24th 2010. It seems it was only yesterday.  I think the way my family survives the agony is to look ahead to the future promised in the Bible.  Do you believe the Bible is God's word?  Well if you do, then maybe you understand what I mean. Revelations 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.”  I really look forward to when God will, through his Kingdom government, with Jesus as King, bring an end to death and the mourning and outcry it causes.

   My husband and I left early yesterday to go to our meeting at our church, so we went out to eat lunch.  As we sat there my husband told me what he wanted to do while visiting his father's grave-site while in Oiho in a couple of weeks.(we live about 1200 miles away) As he spoke and without hesitation I began balling.  Tears flowing like a river. . .  He just had to stop talking. . .  I look forward to the time when this enemy death is brought to nothing!  (1 Corinthians 15:26) "As the last enemy, death is to be brought to nothing."

   I hope you have a peaceful day today and can tell us more about your Mom later.

Sincerely,

Brenda
