About My Loss and Grief
On April 12th , 1999, My Husband Bob went home to Heaven.
I was there with him in our home, along with our children and friends. Even though we all knew he was fatally ill, and there was no cure, we all were still in shock when he went home to Heaven. Bob had Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Three months before the cancer wes found, he had four bypass surgeries on his heart. Noone knew he had cancer at the time of the surgery. Needless to say, he never recovered. I am a Christian, and so are our five children. We Know that Bob is in Heaven, for he too was a Christian. We all still miss him. Our fifteen grandchildren are all going through their own personal struggles with grief, for grief will come to everyone of all ages when we lose a loved one. But we must allow ourselves to grieve. It's okay. It is necessary.
I know that there are many out there that are going through the same thing
I know that our Lord Jesus will never leave us nor forsake us! But, we do have to deal with death as long as we live on this earth. Depression comes to Christians, so If you have lost a loved one, you may be going through this at the present time, or if you live long enough, you will go through the grief process. This is normal, Jesus grieved also.
Let this encourage you as well as myself, "this to shall pass."
God still has many great things in store for us to do for his kingdom.
Yes, we are survivors, we are overcomers, we are more than conquerors, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
You are not alone, although it may seem, that no one knows the pain, and loneliness that you are feeling at this time. But there is one that promised to never leave us nor forsake us," His name is Jesus." Jesus knows and understands our grief and pain, therefore he sent The Holy Spirit, for He is our comforter.
We have to take one day at a time, to work through our grief in this time of sorrow, and the Holy Spirit is there working with us. So let yourself grieve, and allow yourself to heal. Each person has to work out their grief, in their own way, and in their own time.
At this time, in my process grief and loneliness, I have good days and I have bad days, but, I am better today than I was even last month. And with my Lord and the Holy Spirit, I know I will get better day by day. God is so good, and compassionate, He loves me so. I Praise him and Magnify His Mighty Name.
A letter that was written to my family, and friends, and to those who are going through the loss of a loved one. Truly I can say to all of you, "Let not your heart be troubled." "Trust in God; trust also in me. In my fathers house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going. { John 14:1-4 }
Heaven, is a place of reunion. If you have a loved one, who has gone on before you, Take heart! For He or she, will be waiting for us to cross the threshold of that Great City.
There will be no more tears, or overwhelming loneliness, For we will see them again.
And on the streets of Glory, cares all past, Home at last, ever to Rejoice.
