but I do believe that God is with us... and I do believe that Brandon is near to us always in some way... and I have to forgive the preacher but I'm not doing so well with that part yet... I'm still mad as spit at him..
these comments came from an online pastor.. or some of them... he told me I was wallowing in self pity and wanting to broadcast my grief all over the internet and that I was in danger of 'praying to the dead' by talking to my son.. I don't expect Brandon to talk back and I don't ask him to do favors for me in heaven or for him to ask God for anything on my behalf.. but nevertheless there are those who think just talking in your head to a love one who has passed on is a sin... and that wasn't even said to me about the 'signs' so much as just in reference to my sadness and heartache over losing my son.. I wasn't 'getting over' the past and 'moving on' fast enough to please the preacher I guess.. anyway it's not something that anyone should say to a grieving mother I don't think.. where is the compassion in that? How can you mourn with those who mourn like the Bible tells us to do if all we do is tell mourning people to get over it and move on and stop feeling sorry for themselves... that whole experience just happened with the preacher... right at a time when it was not only the time of year my son died, but mother's day was coming, and all sorts of other stresses were on this family... my husband's battle with prostate cancer, his surgery for goiters which we didn't know were benign until after the surgery.. a huge gas line trying to come right in front of our house in the woods and a huge reduction in funding ...to less than half what it is now.. the funding supports people like my son Bo who is totally physically disabled.. so they can stay in their own homes instead of in an institution.... then this preacher unloads on me ...
many people tell me the things that have happened are just wishful thinking, or I'm lying or they are from the devil or that I'm hallucinating.. but I know better... so just keep your eyes and ears open.. expect the unexpected... ask God to send you dreams of your loved one.. that is safe enough... or ask God to show you somehow that your loved one is with Him and still alive and more well than they ever were before... I pray He will allow you that peace too...
Me too Rj, I miss him so much and want him back so much, it's almost 7 months and I feel worse now then a month ago, nobody knows what to say, nobody knows except us how painful and awful this feels.
Dolly I love to hear of all your experiences, I don't feel I am having any and I want them so much. My babys birthday is next week and I am falling apart, I don't know how to cope with this, I am crying all the time and feel like my heart is being ripped out of my body, last year he was 18, beautiful, clean and sober, I cant believe this painful life I am living now
can you imagine? sitting right there beside you... but you didn't know it... so he made sure you knew it.....
I LOVE THE SEAT BELT STORY..... LOVE LOVE LOVE
