Some weeks are just tougher than others. My husband and I have felt an overwhelmingly new sense of sadness this week. It marked 10 months since our daughter, Amy, passed away. I know it's part of the grief process but it hurts.
~ My soul aches ~
Tears flow daily.
I am clinging all the more to the cross of Christ!
Psalm 28:7
The Lord is my strength and my shield;
in him my heart trusts, and I am helped;
in him my heart trusts, and I am helped;
my heart exults,
and with my song I give thanks to him.
and with my song I give thanks to him.
Our family deeply appreciates all of you who have held us up in prayer.
You are a blessing to us.
Have a blessed weekend!
Dear Sister, you are in my prayers. I miss Amy girl too. xoxoxS
ReplyDeleteI know you do. Thanks for the Skype yesterday :) ♥♥♥
DeleteI am so very sorry for your grief. I know it never quite goes away, especially a child. I'll remember you in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary Ann.
DeleteDit is heel moeilijk ook al weet je waar ze heen is .het is wel je kind .heel veel sterkte jullie deze dagen.
ReplyDeleteI had to put your comment in Google Translator. Thank you so much for your kind words.
DeleteI'd say I'm sorry you're feeling down, Anne, but in one respect I'm not. Why? Because the pain you're experiencing is an indication of how deeply you loved your Amy. Her loss has left a hole in your heart that no one else can fill. Grief is a normal, natural, healthy response to the loss of a loved one. It's not an easy process, but it's one we have to go through. Time will help you heal, true, but there will always be some hurt when you think of your beloved daughter, because she's no longer with you. That's why memories play such an important role. So instead of saying I'm sorry, I'll send you a virtual (((hug))) instead.
ReplyDeleteYou made me cry more but that is a good thing. Thank you, Keli, for your friendship, prayers and hugs :)
DeleteI'm very sorry for your loss, and the grief that you're experiencing.
ReplyDeleteI lost my mother when I was fifteen (many years ago now), and though the pain has lessened, there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about her, and wish that she could have shared in my life.
I have no children of my own, but there can't be a more difficult loss than a parent of their child.
Thank you, Carole. I've lost my mom too and know the heartache lessens with time but the missing goes on. Appreciate you coming by today.
DeletePraying for you, Anne. I'm sure this has to be heartbreaking. I cannot even begin to imagine what you're going through. Let the tears flow and grieve your loss. You have that right. God bless you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your precious prayers, Nancee!
DeleteI am so sorry that you lost your daughter. I pray that time lessens the pain and allow you both to remember only the best of times with Amy.
ReplyDeleteWe sure do remember great times with her! She was a character, indeed :) It's just my mommy arms long to hold her once again. I know we will be reunited one day and it makes me look all the more forward to Christ's return!
DeleteOh my sweet friend, I ache for you and the grief you are going through. I am so sorry you lost your precious daughter, but what joy to know she is in the arms of our Jesus. I am praying for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteSending love and hugs your way,
Stephanie
Oh Stephanie, I know she is being cuddled by greater arms than mine. I am at peace with her death but it hurts. I know you pray for me and I so appreciate your blessed friendship. Thank you so much!
