Hi John,
May you find comfort today. This sadness we all suffer make even the small things huge. Have you been keeping a journal? I was just thinking of how when I can't sleep I get some paper and write down what is rolling over and over in my mind. It seems then I can go to sleep because I've weirdness it down. I know I can't forget. I wonder if that method could be a way for you to handle all the issues you have to deal with in all your sorrow? My thought is like putting some of the issues in a pending file, so to speak. Then maybe everything won't be sitting crushing you. The pending file is not forgetting nor ignoring the problem or issue, it is an opportunity to handle that issue when you can do something about it. Especially when the issue involves another person we must wait for them to act. The ball is in there court. Maybe that could some of the weight off your shoulders. Hugs

Faith is not just a surface "feel good" emotion – actually, it conveys the thought of confidence, trust and firm persuasion. The Scriptures tell us: “Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld.” (Hebrews 11:1)
Faith is, therefore, the basis for hope in the resurection and the evidence for conviction concerning unseen realities. The entire body of truths delivered by Jesus Christ and his inspired disciples constitutes the true Christian “faith.” (John 18:37; Galatians 1:7-9; Ac 6:7; 1Timothy 5:8) Christian faith is based on the complete Word of God, including the Old Testament, to which Jesus and the writers of the New Testament frequently referred in support of their statements.
Faith is based on concrete evidence. The visible creative works testify to the existence of an invisible Creator. (Romans 1:20) The actual occurrences taking place during the ministry and earthly life of Jesus Christ identify him as the Son of God. (Matthew 27:54) God’s record of providing for his earthly creatures serves as a valid basis for believing that he will surely provide for his servants, and his record as a Giver and Restorer of life lends ample evidence to the credibility of the resurrection hope. (Matthew 6:26, 30, 33; Acts 17:31; 1Corinthians 15:3-8, 20, 21) Furthermore, the reliability of God’s Word and the accurate fulfillment of its prophecies instill confidence in the realization of all of His promises. (Joshua 23:14) Thus, in these many ways, “faith follows the thing heard.”—Romans 10:17; compare John 4:7-30, 39-42; Acts 14:8-10. Faith is built as we study the Bible and see God work in our lives.
King David wrote: “He(God) himself well knows the formation of us, remembering that we are dust.” (Psalm 103:14) God made us from “nothing” and he can recreate us also from nothing. (Genesis 2:7) “God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul.”
What makes us the person we are is our memories, traits, our likes and dislikes ETC. When we pass away all of that is in God's memory. Jesus was given the ability to bring people back to life and he says, at John 5:28, 29, “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.”
This is only a begining of the faith strenghtening scriptures - does it help? Mat I share more?
John, may I talk to you about faith? May I tell you some scriptures I find encouraging? I hope you have a peaceful day and I will keep you in my prayers.
I am so sorry that you have so many issues. You have enough to deal with as you travel this terrible grief trail. The photo on my profile is my father in law. He died July 24, 2010 after a fall and a subsequent brain bleed. All of it took 3 months and was agonizing for our family. Our granddaughter who is 4, soon to be 5, still draws picture for him and we have a plastic container we put her pictures in so she can give them to him when he is ressurected. We belive the Bible and all of God's promises contained there in. Do you believe the Bible is God's word too? The Words of Jesus at John5:28, 29 bring us great comfort. "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out."
If you believe in God, lean on him and let him be your strength. (Philippians 4:13) "For all things I have the strength by virtue of him who imparts power to me".
If you do not believe in God or are mad at him and want to know why I believe just ask. Just know that I will be here to "talk" any time...
Hi John, sorry I haven't been in much of a mood to write anything. Get so tired of feeling down and sad that I just avoid the communicating sometimes. I want it to help, but it seems like nothing really helps in the long run. Have a good day or two and think things are going to be better and WHAM it all comes back. Hope you are sleeping better. I was for a few nights, but last night I was up until 5. Hate it, just hate it. Hate everything about grief. Sorry for being so down. Hope for a better day for all of us.
I would like to thank you for your message you have sent me last month. I seemed to have been trying to avoid this site do to the pain that doesn't seem to go away. Seems like you and I have some commonalities in our family and the pain. Some days feel a lot easier than others, today on the other hand, no so much. I wondered if you are having the same unwillingness to shoot anymore due to your fathers death because I know I'm feeling it. I hope that you and I can talk sometime, maybe it will help both of us. Anyways thanks for the supportive words. Kara
Hello John, I hope you are getting along okay. It's really hard to know how to tell someone in grief that you hope they are doing better, when you sense that they aren't and you don't want to sound like regular people. I do always hope that those in grief are moving forward and getting some days of comfort even though I know it all depends on the individual. It will be 10 months for me on the 14th and I'm still on that roller coaster of up and down. I really hate it. At least, for me, the spring weather has helped a little. I'm not locked inside all the time. I hope your sleep has improved. I have sleep problems too, so I know how that can throw you off even more than just dealing with your loss. I liked your closing on your last comment so I'll send it back to you and all in grief. God Bless & Heal Us All. Peace, Prayers & Hope for a Better Today & Tomorrow.
John, I'm so sorry I didn't respond to you sooner. I can't seem to get on here lately. I've been in a slump again and all I can do is wait it out. You asked why I said I was sorry you had to join this group. It was because of your loss. We have all lost someone and this is not where we would choose to be. I lost my son and I wish I could go back and have my life back, but instead I now have to find some help in groups like this one. I pray you are doing okay. Blessings, Ann
hi jonh, how are you doing.i talk to you in a few days so i thought i write you to see how you was doing. i feel like my life is stand still and the world and very buddy as life theire '. my husband kept tell me that i need to go for a walk or something because i only watch tv and playon my laptop .i just not feel like doing at all. i force my self to go out to breakfast once a week . i just dont want to live with my sister. i am not going to do some thing any thing string. i just isnot going to live i just dont what to do with myself . linda
Hi John, it was very nice of you to comment on my loss. It is very painful to lose someone, but even harder when people are uncaring and unfair. I had a step mother that I really did not like. Luckily I didn't have to deal with her very much. I don't know what it would be like to be adopted, or to have someone adopt one of my children. I think it is horrible that your friend was forced to give up her son. I am sorry that he wants nothing to do with her. Sometimes people don't understand and falsly blame others for something that is not their fault. I am so very sorry for the loss of your father, and the mistreatment of his honor and of you. I will be praying for you, that you can find peace.
hi jonh , thank you fo being there to talk to me noone talk to me in here why ? how are you doing with your dad death .you can talk to about that too . i did my crieing when my husband go to bed @9; 30 , he dont under stand why crieing for. i have not see husband crying in 35 year not even when dad died very. i am have a hard time with my sister died i miss her so much. my friend and husband think i a give upv, i dont doing anythin tv and be in my laptop . i just feel like anything. idont know wht to do about it jonh thank you for listen to my problom linda

Thanks. Sorry about your situation. My mother and I have mixed memories. Good/bad times. It took an extremely long time for us to come to an understanding and be less resentful. Thankfully, that happened about a week before she died. I didn't know my dad really...couple of phone calls and other people telling me stories really.
Thank you, John. I really appreciate it. Although, I must tell you that the "justice system" has not really impressed me so far. The murderer was out on parole when he killed my mom. The trial is set to start in June. I wish that they would just throw gim in prison forever so that I would not have to be subjected to what will inevitably be a horrifying nightmare in court.
John, I think I was able to delete the content for you by clicking on the x in the upper right hand corner. Maybe it just deletes it in my feed. Check to see if it has been deleted and if not I think you can delete it y/s by clicking on the x.
Anyone who has lost their gay partner..soon finds that there may be a few things that are different...such as sorting through things and feeling like an intruder because it is also family stuff etcSee More
An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true. Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions. This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
