Shalom, we don't talk like we used to but my deepest sympathies go out to you. I didn't know and this truly saddens me. My loss of having my daughter in law take my privileges away several years ago from seeing my grandchildren placed a hole in my heart that nothing can fill. Yet I know that God permits it so I must accept it as the best thing for some reason.

My sons are only loyal to there wives and they don't even go see there very sick Mother. Although they had the best of everything money could buy and never wanted for anything they have no fidelity or loyalty to family.

I have a poem that I read every day because I am still yearning to see those dear ones whom I love. I am posting it. I hope it gives you a understanding that you are not alone. There are those of us who suffer losses, and still trudge along until we understand more.

"I Feel as Though My Heart Must Stop with Pain"

I feel as though my heart must stop with pain.
I miss you so, the darkness will not pale.
My darling child, come to me again.

I know you cannot come, and still I strain
To put my arms around you through the veil.
I feel as though my heart must stop with pain.

Other lives and loves call me in vain.
I try to turn away from you and fail.
My darling child, come to me again.

You are my unendurable refrain.
Back and back I hurry to impale
My heart on you, to stop my heart with pain.

Yet nothing that I do undoes the plain
Brutal fact which always must prevail.
Ah, my darling, come to me again!

You are both my sunshine and my rain,
My dearest joy, my anguish, and my grail.
I feel as though my heart must stop with pain.
My darling child, come to me again.

Grandfather Jim

I will remember you in prayer, and share your pain with mine.

God suffices.

James

shalom,

I can feel your pain. I lost my oldest Son in June of 2001, and know the feeling of such a loss. Since your Son was a believer, just remind yourself that he has gone to live with the Lord Jesus, and that there will be a day that the two of you can be together again, and rejoice.

RE>>I always trusted and believed that God would
always take care of my family And loved ones.....
wow I could not have been more wrong.<<

What make you think you are/were wrong?

Physical death?

Job lost 10 children in 1 day !!!

I tell you a secret. If you can lay anger aside a brief moment..

Job ***HAD** (as if any of us actually OWN)

7000 sheep

and 300 camels

and 500 yoke of oxen

and 500 female donkey - make that female in your mind...

And after HIS TRIAL lived 140 years but had ...

14,000 sheep

6000 camels

1000 yoke of oxen

and yet only "landed" with 7 sons and 3 daughters

ask yourself WHY!!

Why did Job "Get from God" only 7 son and 3 girls????

EVERYTHING ELSE IS DOUBLE???

You are right about one thing shalom - you KNOW nothing.

Let me tell you one thing...

You are ELECT.

I understand - and I do not want your money for a plot!!!

You have lost nothing - except - your "brownie points"

In the end you will thank God our Father FOR GIVING in all of this

Read Luke 15 about the prodical son

God made a lot of people go hungry...

To get the one who finally admitted he "knew nothing"

to go back to His Father to understand THAT kind of Love>

You have it dude - curse GOD - shake your LITTLE fist!!
AM I shocked ??
Ya Right... YOu are Flesh - You are Blood -

BUT more than this ....
YOU ARE HIS
From Elect to the elect - drop your act...
you are in GOOD HANDS..

NOTHING will be lost.

John 17:12 While I was with them in the world,
I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept,
and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition;
that the scripture might be fulfilled.

Hope this helps..after a season of remorse.

Shalom,

My deepest condolences for the loss of your beloved son. To lose a child is unimaginable, and I am truly sorry for your loss. It has been many years since we have written to one another, and this is a post I am sorry beyond words to make. Words I am sure are of little comfort, however, I hope you may find some solace with friends. While I have never been a big believer in the act of faith, I do believe that people can make a positive impact in one another's life. There are many children out there without loving parents. Perhaps, in time, it may be possible to visit other young ones to help them through life.

Again, my deepest sympathy for your loss.

Hal
