| Stop! I want off this ride! |
|
| |
So, this year has just been awful.
I have lost a Grandmother, a Grandfather and last night my Step-Grandmother passed.
I have 4 parents and 3 of them have lost a parent in the last 6 months.
Stop this ride, I want off...
With Christmas coming, I should be joyful, but all I really want to do it take the tree down and sleep for a month.
Maybe next year will be easier... |

| I can understand the hybernation wish. I'm some what afraid that when I'm going through a rough spot I'm neglecting something that I should be grateful for. |

My friend once told me that these trials come into our lives so we get stronger. I tell you, things will be difficult before the calm comes. So, If you need to get mad, anger and feel like screaming to the top of your lungs off a large mountain so people can hear you from the bottom of the valley. I encourage you to do just that. Then once you feel up to doing the next thing, buy a special journal and write down everything about that person in that one journal. Talk to them and tell them how much they meant to you while they were present on this earth. Think about all the wonderful things and funny things that occurred during this life time. Close the journal, put it up and read one year from now. This is a healing process, it will be frustrating at first and easier as time goes by and it may help you feel better and get through the grieving process.
I lost my best friend, who was my dad two years ago the day my son was born. Early that year, I also lost my step grandparents, Then my grandmother my dad's mom and another step grandfather. Then, I felt like WHY WHY WHY but guess what, almost three years later and I can remember the best memories and so many funny times, that I find myself laughing, and crying at times because God allowed those certain individuals into our lives to learn from them and let me tell you, it will get better. Journals are wonderful, driving in the country and rolling down the windows to scream to the top of your lungs and cry out loud... DO IT. If they were sick, they are now in the presence of our Lord and wow what a great place to be. I will be praying for you and just know that If you need to talk, I am always here for you. I will start praying tonight, that God please embrace you and your family and lift you all up.

| Kelly, I am sorry to hear.... If it makes you feel better to take down the tree, and quietly remember our Savior's birth in your own way this year, you are certainly free to do that. Our Father will definitely understand. Blessed are those that mourn, for they will be comforted. |

| Kellly, I am so sorry to hear of your pain and I will pray for you.... this year is especially tough for me too so I can relate... I won't give too much advice because we all deal with our struggles differently but I will say stay in The Word and PRAY those are your strongest defenses and are also exactly what satan will try to keep you from doing ( he not a dummy, he knows what works!)... My prayers are with you and my heart hurts for you. |

I wrote this on one of my sad days...
I went to sleep in defeat tonight
From fighting the wars of today.
I wanted to run so far from here
I wanted to run away.
But something encouraged me to press on
Even though I sobbed in despair.
I wondered how I could get through this sadness
Or if anyone understood, or cared.
But, even as the darkness came with the night
And things didn't look so good
Joy still came with the morning
Where the brightness make things look like they should.
Catherine Howell...
I know it's hard to see it now...but this too shall pass. I wish and hope for you...comfort and strength from the Lord above((hugs)) |

Kelly, just listen to the opening song on your playlist. Who are you? You are the daughter of the King of the Universe, the Creator of all things, the One and the Only God and Savior, Jesus Christ. He is the one you must reach to for comfort, strength, endurance, and understanding. Through His great love, mercy, and grace you can endure the storm.

Kelly,
Just try thinking about how lucky they are to already be in the gates. Yeah, I know you miss them but just think about it as temporary absence. You will see them again. Mean while, looks like you have some folks still down here who care about you a lot.
