Groundhogs day is getting worse. It'll be a year in about 3 weeks since I lost my life when my darling passed and it seems like one long day that never ends. My primary is still to be reunited with her soon but now enters fear for my daughter and two of my grands, her children. Everyone is downplaying it around them so as to ease their fear, so nothing about it was discussed on Christmas. I assured her via phone and email that I will be there physically and financially for her to at least ease her worries about the what ifs. She is very hopeful that she is able to live enough years to have the children become of age. I hope and pray that happens and that by then, both I and my darling will be there to greet her in spirit realm. Again, I lean on my OBE for strength but I want it NOW. WHY, WHY, WHY GOD? What's it really all about? Are we a game for entertainment of some sort? You are suppose to be pure love, then why all the suffering here on earth? Why all the injustice here on earth? Is it because You know that in the end, we will be ok back home? Why though put us here if we belong there? Are we to be tested? For what? You know we are all sinners to some extent. You knew that when you produced the elements that formed us. Do You believe that we will eventually evolve to be perfect like You? Pure Love? It doesn't seem like that is going to happen here. Does evil exist in Your realm? If so, why did You allow it?

Joe, so sorry about your daughter’s illness — hope you were able to give her some comfort when you had dinner together. Did you get a sense of anything you could do for her now that would please or help her?

Joe,
I am so sorry to hear about your daughter. I would change places with her in a heartbeat. I have to agree with you on WTF is god doing. He takes the people who want to live and leave the ones who want to die suffer.

Joe, I cant even imagine how you must feel at this point with the news of your daughter. I know when my husbands diagnosis of stage four cancer was dropped on us on the day after Xmas the world was ripped from me and I had no idea what was coming my way. To this day I relive those moments of horror and now my only wish is to get sick like him so I too can pass. Your daughter should not have this crisis of health befall her and yet the universe seems to be dishing out pain to anyone it feels needs more anguish.
I sit here tonight knowing that there are millions of us crying out tears for the loss of our beloved and the continuing assault of other awful news is more than we should have to handle. I am in total agreement with your last sentence in caps. I have decided for myself that there is no such character as nothing could possibly claim benevolence and rain down such malevolence.
I am so tired of trying to pretend I'm ok. I am not and I wont be. And here you are trying to survive when you are dealing with another blow to your heart. I don't know what is going on in all of our lives but I am pretty sure it hurts more than I ever imagined.

Oh, Joe, I am so very sorry to hear that you are faced with such devastating news about your daughter! I am sending prayers of healing for her. You are already suffering the loss of your beloved wife, it is too much to be facing the possibility that your daughter may go before you. Prayers of courage and strength for you.
I was going to wish all those celebrating a Merry Christmas, but this news makes it more difficult to wish that.
Be well, all of you on this forum.

I just found out day before yesterday, that my oldest daughter, a divorced, single mom of two, who has been battling the bad type of melanoma for two years, with two surgeries, found that it spread to the lung at stage 4. The only option is surgery again. I went to my youngest daughter's house for dinner today because she was there and this could be her last Christmas. Please pray for her. There is no way I'll be able to put her in our plot before me. I still believe that I have to go naturally and hopefully soon but, WTF IS GOD DOING TO ME?

Joe,
The picture of you and your lovely wife is just beautiful. You can see that special love you had and Morgan I too found my Husband on the bathroom floor, his eyes were open but he was in a coma and died 3 days later. He never spoke a word, but we shared our thoughts and feelings a week before he died. I just hate my existent in this world and just want to be with him. I am worth nothing since he passed.

Joe, My husband died January 21, 2013, 8:48 am pronounced. I found him on the floor of the bathroom. Between the pre Thanksgiving time when he used to cook a magnificent meal just for the two of us, all through his time in the hospital during Xmas, through my January birthday until the day he died I now simply hide from the world. Each year it has yet to be tolerable. I just want an end to this pain of loss. I function because I have to but I don't do it willingly.
And interestingly I see the affection you and your wife show in the picture you posted. I have similar ones where my husband and I always have our arms linked or touching each other or other kinds of loving gestures. It pains me to know I cannot have that linkage now in this life. I could never give myself to anyone else and I know my husband is my eternal soulmate. I can hardly wait to cross over.
