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.

Does anyone else feel pressure to always reply because you're afraid it'll be the last conversation?

Hi everyone. This is my first post here.I lost my brother in December 2024 to an accidental overdose. He passed away suddenly in his sleep. We were only a year and a half apart in age, and he was the closest person I've ever had.One thing I've been struggling with ever since is that I feel an overwhelming pressure to reply to texts and answer calls as soon as I can. If someone messages me and I don't respond right away, my mind starts thinking, "What if something happens to them before I reply?…See More
