I lost my mom, my best friend, the calm to my storm, my whole world just a couple days ago. I cannot accept that this is true. I think of her sitting in her recliner as I saw her the day before and she was just fine! The worst part for me is she called me as I was grocery shopping and spoke with urgency saying she wasn’t sure if she was having anxiety or a heart problem and she’d had anxiety for the past 3 days so that’s what we went with. Long story short, my dad couldn’t wake her in the morning and I cannot get past this. She tried to get help and I brushed it off and now I don’t have her. She was scared and I didn’t go there as I should’ve and called for help. If I did she’d likely be here and I can’t stop this feeling and I’ve cried almost non stop since Tues morning and it’s Fri night. Please pray for me. I feel like my life is pointless now and I can’t stand the thought of not talking to my mom. It kills me when I try to even face that. Thank you so much.
im really sorry to hear that youre going through this. sending prayers. sometimes it can almost seem impossible even offensive to think of some things being used for good in our lives. that is my only hope in this life, hit after hit. if you feel like youre drowing dont worry it will be okay. not easy but youll make it through this. sending love and comfort and strength
I can understand what you are going through. My dad passed away back in May 2022. I still miss him everyday. Everytime I go see my mom and brother I still see the recliner in the living room where my dad spent a lot of time and always think of him. A lot of thoughts go through my mind saying I wish I was walking with Jesus back then because I would have been a better support to my dad sharing the love of Jesus and preaching the message of salvation. Some days are harder than others but I trust God that He knew my dad’s heart and that he asked for forgiveness as he was calling out for God to help him and at the time I had no idea how to consol him besides rubbing his back and telling him that I’m here for him. But God hears our cries and He consoled him in those moments. Just know you are not alone on this journey. You have a whole community of folks here that you can always talk to. I will keep you in my prayers.
Lord God thank you for all the good that you do in our lives. We exalt your name today above all names. You are a mighty God and You seek to bring restoration to your people. Lord I pray for our friend who recently lost their mother. May You provide comfort and peace that surpasses all understanding. You know our hearts and every thought in our mind, you know exactly what we need. Lord, You never leave us or forsake us You are with us every step on this journey. Lord Jesus Christ You alone are our rock and firm foundation. When everything around us are shaken you provide us peace in You we can find rest even through our most painful and burdened time where our hearts are broken. For your yoke is easy and Your burden is light. You are gentle. Lord I ask that you give our friend strength as they walk through life. I ask for blessings a plenty, and a heart fully restored through your peace and comfort. For all glory and honor are Yours Lord. I ask all this through the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
Amen .
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your prayer
Thank you so much I appreciate your kind words
Our regrets, the what ifs of life are painful and yours are especially painful.
That said you need to grieve, to take the time to come to accept your loss.
How is your Father coping, are you able to share in the tasks that have to be done?
Dovyou have any close friends to whom you can talk and cry on their shoulder?
Do continue to follow your normal routines of work , shopping, church attendance. It is hard especially as well meaning folk who ask " how are you! ", but you need to keep live goings.
