@Mel, I am sooo blessed to have such a knowledgeable friend such as you...I am blessed to have all that I have now...Last night for the first time in a very long time I prayed....I prayed that god would give me the strength that I needed to take care of me and my mother thru the tough times....I still have my moments and I still feel him every once in while to me thats how I know he is here....I thank god for the feeling because it gives me peace and I may cry like a baby or smile but no matter what I know that he is looking at me holding me and telling me everything is going to be alright!!!...Now more than ever I am starting to believe it!!!...So thank you Mel for always giving me your words of wisdom!!!...I am truely blessed for a friend like you!!!

You will raise up from the ashes of grief and find each day a bit of sadness and pain has burnt away from your heart. Lean on the Lord for strength and love. Lately my sister and i are turning to each other, and becoming closer too. I know its because of my dad, his spirit, his blood, his blood runs through us and its up to us to keep him alive. Just as our ancestors give us our heritage, our parents leave us their legacy. So draw on the strength of all the teachings, instructions, and love your dad bestowed upon you. You are who you are because he decided to be a loving father that invested himself in you. Again, HOPE for better days is what will carry you thru the tough ones, as well as the Grace of our LORD! Love & God bless ya!

Hey all, hope things are okay with you. Been kinda of rough lately for me and my sister. REally missing our dad. Been a struggle the past week or two, but i realized that i will come thru this. REally leaning on the Lord for strength and comfort. So i hope you all are doing good, and just wanted to share, whatever you may be going thru, you will come thru it, May God give you strength and carry you in your times of need. God bless you all.

July 9 would have been Dad's 75 birthday. It has been a tough week trying to remember the good times and missing him so much. I love you Dad. Please God tell him for me. I do appreciate all the time I had with him. Please pray for me that I will be able to deal with this tomorrow. I am going to try and stay busy. Thanks yall for letting me once again vent. I pray that you all are ok.

just wanted to post this, "I will turn mourning into gladness, I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow. - Jeremiah 31:13 From laughter to tears, a cycle that repeats itself constantly, i have been battling with just moving along. 'Moving along', that's what i call it. Not that i need to get over losing my dad, but just moving, versus, staying in bed, not wanting to do nothing for myself or my family. So i tell myself to keep 'moving along'. I have received lots encouraging scriptures that joy will return, so my hope is in the Lord to fulfill His promise. So if this scripture helps you, which i hope it does, then have hope in JOY and LAUGHTER returning again. Love & God bless you all.

@Dan, One thing that helped me with the whole process was learning to express myself. In my case, singing allowed me to really feel and break free from the numbness. I imagine that poetry or painting or carpentry or whatever your way may be might have a similar effect.

@ Dan, you must feel like you are quietly going crazy. Concentrating or not concentrating on nothing in particular. you are reliving flashes of memories, thousands of thoughts running thru your head. Your emotions in disarray. I lost my dad four months ago this past thursday and i am still in denial and disbelief. It has been hard but just take it moment by moment my friend. I am sorry for you loss.
