I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. :(<br /><br />My father passed away holding my hand 9 years ago and it broke my heart into a million pieces. I wanted to die. He was my pillar in life... the only person in my family who understood me and quite honestly, at the time, my best friend. It was so hard to breathe without him there. I didn't quite know what to do and I knew no one would understand the intense pain I was feeling including my family. I felt so alone. <br /><br />I was in my early twenties. I wasn't a Bible reader and I didn't know God's promises. My father was a strong Christian so I wasn't too worried about him. As for me, I was broken, almost beyond repair. I wanted to die and then God sent me a baby that lived in my womb until I was strong enough to go on. Then at 5 months gestation, on my father's first birthday after he passed (I scheduled it for this day to make it happy)I went to a regular Obgyn appt and found out my baby left me too. My baby had accomplished what God created it to do... to save its mommy's life, and that it did. I no longer wanted to end my life but I was still quite broken. <br /><br />All these years later, the Lord has worked in me and I am still sad but at peace about his death. The ache in my heart for my father has never left, however. Only now, I read the Bible to comfort me and know that one day I will see him again.<br /><br />*hugs to you my friend*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790575783281900923.post-79211607747879232962011-09-22T10:41:17.709-05:002011-09-22T10:41:17.709-05:00Bless your heart, dearest Carrie.

I wrote that verse in all of our thank you notes & it has come true time & time again...no one can comfort another like those who have had the same experience & been comforted by the Lord through it all. <br /><br />Tonight is my mom's viewing & tomorrow her funeral. The Lord will turn our mourning into laughter in His good time.<br /><br />Blessings from Ohio...Kim<><Marmee's Pantryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01612989781352785304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790575783281900923.post-44682156554782170282011-09-22T03:55:11.981-05:002011-09-22T03:55:11.981-05:00Sorry for your loss, but rejoicing with your dad, ...Sorry for your loss, but rejoicing with your dad, he has won the victory. I lost my dad 26 years ago, the loss does ease but the sadness will catch you by surprise. I know that when I got married, I wished he could meet my husband, I know they would be good friends. When my children were born, I wished he could have been there, that he could see all the things they have done, how wonderful they are turning out to be. That he could be at their games, celebrate their birthday, on and on, but I would not wish him back. His victory is won, and he doesn't have to struggle here. It will be simular for you, everyone is different. It is ok to miss him, remember him and cry, it is all good. Pray that you will be able to "crawl" onto your Heavenly Father's lap and find the comfort and that you will have peace in knowing He has the big picture and that He doesn't make mistakes, His timing is never off. That doesn't mean we can't be sad and morn, just know we can trust Him. Tell Him all that is on your heart, He knows anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790575783281900923.post-56611906029360783762011-09-21T20:19:03.739-05:002011-09-21T20:19:03.739-05:00ITS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT WE ALL GO THRUE THAT KIND ...ITS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT WE ALL GO THRUE THAT KIND OF THING..YOU HAVE GOD..ITS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT.WE PRAY FOR YOU...LOVES SORAYAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790575783281900923.post-18989008223866634122011-09-21T17:19:53.400-05:002011-09-21T17:19:53.400-05:00People never seem to comprehend the grief that com...People never seem to comprehend the grief that comes along with the loss of a parent unless they have felt the grief. My prayers are with you and the family during this painful time. "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference." During times of deep grief, the "Footprints" poem brings me comfort. I pray that it brings you comfort as well. :) :) Hugs my friend.The Whirling Dirvishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05631084360949975951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790575783281900923.post-89266045526285029252011-09-21T13:17:56.756-05:002011-09-21T13:17:56.756-05:00So sorry for your loss....and so understand the po...So sorry for your loss....and so understand the power of tears.

She passed away, us kids surrounding her bed, my right arm wrapped around her head. My other hand holding her left arm. All six of us around her.<br /><br />That night after I finally was home, an elderly gentleman from our church, whom we had been praying for salvation, called me and asked if there was anything he could do for me. I told him I didn't want to lose him, he was my brother, and I wanted him to accept the Lord, so we would always be together. He prayed there on the phone with me, and accepted Christ as his own. He had been in the church for years with his wife, and never had accepted Christ. he was in his 70's.<br /><br />On the night of my Momma's visitation, he and his grown stood with me in the receiving line! My other siblings were in the room, but they were with me. The Lord is not slack, He wastes nothing, not even the difficult things. All works for good, even the most heart wrenching. The days will come again for you to be in joy, even in the midst of your tears, the seeds for your harvest are coming to bear you fruit.anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269208573774815462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790575783281900923.post-54110381116136725962011-09-21T08:30:20.963-05:002011-09-21T08:30:20.963-05:00I'm so sorry for your pain.
