I loss my grandma on June 13th of this year

Guys, YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified/Pierced for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Egyptian Semitic: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moshe (Moses) wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Egyptian Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"

Great advise thanks for sharing!

Abigail Ketchem You are most welcome Abigail, I am so very sorry to hear of your loss; I know how difficult it can feel dealing with the loss of someone so close. Many of us out here have faced the same it is regrettable to have to admit. All I can say is to express yourself as you need to, be who you feel you need to.

@@WestleyNash You really are such a wonderful person! It may sound silly, but after eighteen month's, I'm still grieving for my dog. Thank you for helping me! ❤

Hope you are feeling much better now Abigail

you are not alone.

Know that you are NOT alone.... I lost my father 2 years ago and I still am struggling. ❤️

I am so sorry for your loss, my deepest condolences... Indeed, such kindred souls will remain in our world forever 💙

snaggletooth bastard Indeed. Its been close to 2 years since my father passed. Sometimes it feels like it only happened yesterday, other days like a lifetime ago.... I suppose that It’s such a deep loss; a massive change to our life. When you consider that we knew them quite literally our entire life right up to the point that they passed; it’s something that reshapes everything.

Westley Nash pretty much everyone grieves differently for me it's a painful thing to think about especially the holidays

snaggletooth bastard Holidays certainly are. I just keep trying to remember that I did spend some great times with my dad before he died.

I lost my dad 8 years ago and it’s only getting harder. It never gets easier it just starts to feel numb

I lost my dad 7 years ago im only 10

No reply needed God bless there's a few kind of our I'll left with heart and soul in us

So sorry to hear that. Those we love are only Roth is for a time, but as long as we make the most of that time we are granted a gift. Best wishes to you also 😊

I lost my grandmother years ago, she had raised me, to this day I still wake up early on Christmas, and my birthday and othrr holidays waiting for a phone call to come that never will, I truly am scared to lose my mother. My father spent my whole life in the army, I had never seen that man flinch, cry, or anything until the night the phone call came in and his mother had passed, it went from this soldier always picking me up, to me carrying this soldier as he broke. Time doesn't make things easier. You learn to move on, and live without, but a part of you is always gone.

Same feel you dude its so hard and doesnt stop hurting

@@ajaxmellone5028 sMe harts like ten bullets

Thank you. I lost my Mom last week. This poem says it all

❤️ I certainly feel your worlds.. Losing a parent is a very “altering” experience. Our entire perception of life and even ourselves is changed forever by it. For we have known them quite literally our entire lives up until that moment they passed away. So we then have to learn how to feel safe and stable again in a world we have never once known without them in it... Though I do believe that any loving parent, no matter where they are only ever wants their children to survive and prosper. I also believe that we take them with us, spiritually in our hearts through the feelings of love we still hold for them, mentally in our minds through the memories of past happiness and in the lessons they taught us, but also physically in our bodies through genes and hereditary traits that continue to shape us through our ongoing adulthood. My mum told me after my Dad passed that it’s okay to cry for his loss, that he’s worth every single tear. So it’s okay to feel sad, to feel lost. It’s okay to be afraid of what life looks like without them in it. It’s okay to doubt and the question our ability to survive beyond them, just so long as among all of that pain we remember to cherish the good times, the best times. That we keep in our hearts the love we have for our parents and honour the love we know they had for us. We know they want only the best for us and so in that regard they are never really gone. Simply taking a backseat to let us lead the way ❤️ My very best wishes to you and all of those you love 🎩

You are very very lucky my mom died 2 months ago and hurts so much thinking about everything I can’t do with her. I’m not even old enough to drive yet! I miss her so much I always thought she would be the one who always stayed with me

@@cthorn7875 life can be cruel like that! I'm sorry for your loss. But she still lives in your heart. And being a mom, this is one of my fears! But she would want the best for you and she'd probably want you to know how much she loves you and for you to be okay. Hang in there.

@@cthorn7875 my granddaughter savannah lost her mum at 11 my beautiful daughter was her mum I do everything I can for her we are blessed we have each other xx

That is truly saddening to hear about your son... To lose a loved one in any manner is hard, but especially due to such a brutal act... I honestly cannot imagine what it must feel like to lose a child, so my deepest wishes and prayers go out to you... Stay safe

May he rest in peace and his memory be a blessing to you. I send you my heartfelt condolences. My daughter died at 25 also. May you find peace as I hope to knowing someday I may see her once more when my time here ends.

I’m so sorry for your loss you are in my prayers and heart ♥️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Pls don’t cry when u cry it unbearably sad be proud having him was most fortunate he loved u and u loved him u two had a good life he drove loneliness away from u every moment u two were with each other every millisecond u both never though u were unhappy with each other his soul is great it rises high like a fire if possible if your son could be able to desire to live and fight by your side he would just remember he was their with u living life being happy your son knows what true suffering is it’s like a tsunami it swallows u up and doesn’t give u a chance to survive I have one thing else to say life it self itself is a miracle u are precious you are important pls live the best live u can my beloved friends in this comment - Evan Her

I lost my daughter. I miss her so much.

Admittedly this is indeed true. I suppose all we can do is reach out to see who is there for us and not to focus too much on those who aren’t.

I am with you in the same boat. Praying for those left like us to grieve alone

your wife was beautiful. just know that she is watching over you and loves you. you're not alone in this!

💔💜✝️🙏

we r never alone,pray to the Lord Jesus Christ,only He can be our Comforter and Friend, may the Lord bless you as you r journey,we will see our loved ones in heaven

Best wishes Margaret

@Daniel White I'm doing well thank you 😊 for asking I hope you are doing well I hope your day is going well

@@WestleyNash thank you for your response to my comment I hope it will help others to know that there not alone

@Daniel White I'm from here newjersey I hear Denmark is beautiful

@Daniel White it's cloudy today but they said it's supposed to be sunny tomorrow how's the weather in Denmark I hope it's beautiful nice and sunny and warm

Agreed

For sure!! I'd give ANYTHING to have more time!! I've lost 2 important people in my life within 7 months and my heart hurts.

Agree. When someone you love hasn't gone through loss like you have, its harder for them to understand it and to treat you as such

Lost my wife 3 yrs ago to cancer God bless you ..

I Lost a friend due to cancer

Their are thousands and thousands who lost wife's and husband's to cancer and who feel like you do. Hang in there take care if yourself. Try to enjoy everything in life our wife's and husband's were spared of the loneliness that we feel ..if we would have passed before them.... The pain inside from missing someone is undesirable.

Good luck my friend.

Have Faith my friend 🙏 ❤

Thankyou.

Isabel Cordero Thank you very much, I’m happy that you liked it. Grief is certainly an ongoing journey.

Perfectly said. I have to agree with you. It certainly is straight to the point. Xxx

☹️That’s so touching and I know how it feels to be lonely without our love ones, we've all loss our love ones in death one way or the other, either a spouse, child, family members, or a true friend that meant the world to us, such is life I truly understand how you feel cos I’ve felt same unbearable experiences before but death is just inevitable no matter how hard we try! And we'll all have to face it someday, and every of our love ones we’ve loss will always want to see us happy again wherever they’re. I loss my oldest daughter Annabel February 24th 2020 in a crucial car accident, and she just turned 22 on her last birthday before she got knocked down by a moving vehicle 🚗 and so unlucky for me that horrible day the driver was drunk. That was the worst and most lamenting day of my whole life as a single Dad raising two kid's, my 17 years old son Clark and my 4 legged 🐶 families are my everything and the reason I still keep strong, and keep going! My late wife passed away three years ago from a shocking disease, I felt devastated with grief, and I was so heartbroken 💔 but God and time are indeed the best healers. Hope you’ve found peace, comfort and happiness again? I'd love to talk to you more if you don't mind! So it would be nice to get a reply from you when you got time okay. 🌹🌹

Oh, my heart aches for you Debby! That is so tragic! Please know that Jesus loves you more than you can possibly know. I am sharing my best friend's testimony with the world with the prayer that many will come to find comfort and true peace during their grief. God bless you. Precious Memories-By Sonya Lakey Family Story Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day. My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening. That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are. Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you. His Story Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23) “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12) He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell. “For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price] “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8) Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, but He arose the third day, triumphant over sin, death, and Hell. Jesus is alive today! “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b) Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour! “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28) Your Story What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day - What if you were to die today? Where will you spend eternity - Heaven or the Lake of Fire? There will not be any parties in the Lake of Fire. It is a place of eternal torment for those who reject God's Son. The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) We did not know that Ethan would step into eternity that day; however, because he put his faith in Jesus alone for his salvation, Ethan was ready to go. Some day - perhaps today - you will take your last breath here on earth, and you will step into eternity. Where you spend eternity is determined by what you do with Jesus Christ. Will you accept Him or reject Him? You are not promised another day or another breath. Eternity begins soon - Are you ready? “...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31b) “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “(...behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2c) ****************************** This testimony has been made into a gospel tract.

You are very welcome Aneesha; I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my father a year ago & wrote this poem 2 days after he passed. Since then I've spoken to many who have sadly suffered the very same loss. It completely rips the foundation out your life, nothing is ever the same afterwards. But I also know that as time moves we can find strength to continue.

Thank you. And that is very true. I thought that i was never gonna get through the passing of my brother and i did. Its the hardest thing ever to do. Slowly we all make it through

Aneesha Aziz Little by little we can walk very far indeed 😊

yes i agree

Me too have similar situation now

So sorry for your lost Nancy. How are you doing I do hope you’re safe?

I am so very sorry to hear about your Dad’s passing, I offer my most sincere condolences to you... I am also very honoured that my poem has been able to help you make a connection with your feelings. I remember how it felt so hard trying to externalise that terrible sensation of loss... I also found that once that connection has been made, we can begin our journey on trying to make sense of things... My very best wishes to you

I find myself jealous at times that he’s in better place than me but ppl say to me…..u r healthy & hapi functional…. He was not ….that’s why he was accepted to leave here.

I am so sorry to hear about your Husband, Ann. I offer my most sincere condolences... Time does seem to be all but meaningless after suffering such a deep loss. Days and years appear interchangeable in many ways... Over the years I’ve come to believe that people only tell us it’s gets easier because they try to give us hope in a moment of despair.. I know they mean well, but reality is that it doesn’t actually get easier, and so I would say to anyone, not to expect it to. Sending my very best wishes to you Ann, stay safe

Thank you so very much for your kind words and for your beautiful poem. I know people mean to offer comfort and I’m blessed to have many continue to lend comfort and support including a gift of love my husband left for me before he passed. Some days are full of despair while others I can still see a ray of hope with the help of grief counseling and his gift. His gift - an email with a song attached - “If the sun come up” by Trace Atkins. I don’t know if you’re familiar with it but it talks about how much he cared about me and to go on living and when the sun comes up to let it shine and never lose your smile. And that song like your poem gives me hope that just maybe they’ll be a tomorrow I can look forward to. Thank you and God bless you. 🙏❤️

Precious Memories-By Sonya Lakey Family Story Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day. My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening. That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are. Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you. His Story Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23) “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12) He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell. “For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price] “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8) Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, but He arose the third day, triumphant over sin, death, and Hell. Jesus is alive today! “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b) Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour! “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28) Your Story What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day - What if you were to die today? Where will you spend eternity - Heaven or the Lake of Fire? There will not be any parties in the Lake of Fire. It is a place of eternal torment for those who reject God's Son. The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) We did not know that Ethan would step into eternity that day; however, because he put his faith in Jesus alone for his salvation, Ethan was ready to go. Some day - perhaps today - you will take your last breath here on earth, and you will step into eternity. Where you spend eternity is determined by what you do with Jesus Christ. Will you accept Him or reject Him? You are not promised another day or another breath. Eternity begins soon - Are you ready? “...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31b) “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “(...behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2c) ****************************** This testimony has been made into a gospel tract.

Guys, YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified/Pierced for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Egyptian Semitic: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moshe (Moses) wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Egyptian Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"

Hi Nick, I am so sorry to hear about your situation. That must be very hard, having all that happening so close together. It’s good to let yourself feel those emotions, even if the process can feel quite overwhelming at the time. It’s the best way to get through... I agree, we do indeed move forward one step at a time... Thank you so much for the kind words. Wishing you the very best Nick 😊

True @Gary Owens, Learnt this the hardway. My only sis died. How I wish I can get another sister or brother, Just someone to talk to. I really feel so lonely

@@resianemaculate. I'm fortunate that I have another brother, but it still doesn't make it any easier. Once we were 3, now 2.

I am so sorry for your loss. My very best wishes to you and those that you love

@@WestleyNash thank you❤

☹️That’s so touching and I know how it feels to be lonely without our love ones, we've all loss our love ones in death one way or the other, either a spouse, child, family members, or a true friend that meant the world to us, such is life I truly understand how you feel cos I’ve felt same unbearable experiences before but death is just inevitable no matter how hard we try! And we'll all have to face it someday, and every of our love ones we’ve loss will always want to see us happy again wherever they’re. I loss my oldest daughter Annabel February 24th 2020 in a crucial car accident, and she just turned 22 on her last birthday before she got knocked down by a moving vehicle 🚗 and so unlucky for me that horrible day the driver was drunk. That was the worst and most lamenting day of my whole life as a single Dad raising two kid's, my 17 years old son Clark and my 4 legged 🐶 families are my everything and the reason I still keep strong, and keep going! My late wife passed away three years ago from a shocking disease, I felt devastated with grief, and I was so heartbroken 💔 but God and time are indeed the best healers. Hope you’ve found peace, comfort and happiness again? I'd love to talk to you more if you don't mind! So it would be nice to get a reply from you when you got time okay. 🌹🌹

So sorry for your losses! I am sharing my best friend's testimony with the world with the prayer that many will come to find comfort and true peace during their grief. God bless.

Darcy Bear Review Thank you very much, that’s most kind of you 😊

Aimee Calissie Thank you 😊 I wrote this after my Dad passed. I suppose I had to get the feelings out somehow, less be swamped by them. Grief is a very powerful sensation, like an emptiness.

Moubani Halder I am so very sorry for your loss... Its extremely hard to lose someone so close to us, it creates a feeling of such emptiness within. Crying is a good thing though, as my mother said to me after my father passed “He’s worth every single tear.” Be kind to yourself, give yourself time to grieve... I’m sending you my very best wishes

I am sorry to hear of your Uncles passing 😔 It can be very difficult in the aftermath of losing a loved one.... I thank you very much for your kind words 😊

I am so sorry to hear about your sister.. It’s hard to know what to say sometimes, but I will offer you my most sincere condolences and my best wishes

Jesus is alive today! “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b) Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour! “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28) Your Story What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day - What if you were to die today? Where will you spend eternity - Heaven or the Lake of Fire? There will not be any parties in the Lake of Fire. It is a place of eternal torment for those who reject God's Son. The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) We did not know that Ethan would step into eternity that day; however, because he put his faith in Jesus alone for his salvation, Ethan was ready to go. Some day - perhaps today - you will take your last breath here on earth, and you will step into eternity. Where you spend eternity is determined by what you do with Jesus Christ. Will you accept Him or reject Him? You are not promised another day or another breath. Eternity begins soon - Are you ready? “...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31b) “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “(...behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2c) ****************************** This testimony has been made into a gospel tract.

I am so very sorry for your loss... My most sincere condolences...

I am so sorry to hear about your mother Lorrie... I offer you my most deepest condolences... Writing has always been my medium for expressing myself and no more so than when my father passed away. This was the first poem I wrote and uploaded after his passing. Sending you my very best wishes, stay safe

Thank you Leslie 😊 Sorry for the late reply, KZfaq didn't alert me to a new comment. You are most welcome, your work is exceptionally good, keep it going because it's worth it. This poem of mine still makes me cry when I listen back to it, for i wrote & recorded this only a week after losing my Father 😢

I am sorry to hear about your mom, it’s good that you have faith to turn to in these times... Best wishes to you and those you love

@@WestleyNash Thank you. Please Check out my poetry channel when you get a chance.

Some very good points and reminders to consider 😊👍

Hi Jaclyn, I am so sorry to hear about your Fiancé, I offer you my most sincere condolences. I agree, grief is something we kind of grow accustomed to being in our awareness. Some days it gets a little heavier to carry than others...

I am trying to share my best friend's story with the world in hopes that others will come to find true peace and comfort in their times of grief. I am so sorry for your loss. God bless you. Precious Memories-By Sonya Lakey Family Story Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day. My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening. That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are. Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you. His Story Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23) “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12) He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell. “For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price] “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8) Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God.

Arya Shrestha Thank you 😊 Left Behind is a poem I recorded only a few days after my father died. Writing and self-expression has always been my way of releasing my troubled emotions, so it kind of helped get the feelings out... It wasn’t until after uploading it and see how views it was that I came to see how many other people were, have been and have yet to experience grief of this kind.

I’m so sorry to hear that you have had to face such mounting loss, especially to lose them to such tragic circumstances too. I can certainly imagine that it must be difficult. You have my deepest condolences and my best wishes

David Ben Hi David, I am so very sorry to hear about your Mum, you truly have my sincerest & deepest condolences... I dare say it probably feels a bit like time has kind of stopped still for you right now, like the world still turns but without you in it. When my father died last year that’s exactly how it felt; it’s the feeling of emptiness that I struggled with the most I think. Im not sure if you need it or not, but I suppose the best advice I can offer you is to just be kind to yourself, be patient; allow yourself to feel as you need & to grieve as you need to. Permit the feelings to present without judging yourself harshly for having them. Recovery, I have found is a path of ongoing healing; one of little by little, always moving forward.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I can't quite put into words the emptiness and how it feels. But your words and your help and advice have not fallen on deaf ears. The world needs more people like you. Thank you .

David Ben It’s no problem at all David, as someone who can certainly relate to your struggle its the very least I can offer. It’s a journey ahead, but things will find their way. Best wishes to you 😊

Its not getting easier .

David Ben You just need to keep going mate, I know it seems like it won’t and to be fair it won’t if you let it take hold. You got to work toward the end, never surrender. I’m sure your mum would want you to keep going. Either way life is hard but what makes it worth it is the little things, and that’s what you should hold close to you.

Thank you very much, that’s high praise indeed 😊🎩

Thank you 😊 I have many more videos to come.

Kanchan Goswami Thank you 😊

I am sorry to hear about the loss of your dog, Rory... I offer you my most sincere condolences... What was his name?..

Hi Danny, I am so very sorry to hear of your wife’s passing, and what with it being only a day ago, I find myself without words, only to offer you my deepest most sincere condolences for your loss. Be kind to yourself, let yourself feel however you feel you have absolutely every right to... I’m sending you my very best wishes

@@WestleyNash thank you so much.

Matt Kerr So sorry to hear about your troubles. Such a scenario is never an easy thing to deal with. It’s important to fight for the things we love, but also to be ready to adapt ourselves to change, even that which isn’t always preferred. I hope things work out for you 👍

I know exactly how you feel. I just wasn't good enough and I tired and tire and tried. It's beyond heart breaking, its just not fair.

I am so sorry for your loss. This is very beautiful what you wrote here and I offer my best wishes to you and to all those you hold dear... Stay safe

I have lost my daughter and son nothing left for me cruel cruel world

@@brendadrumm9451 I am sorry. I wish I could say or do anything to help you feel better. I am very fortunate and grateful for all my children but if doesn’t help the pain losing another, only changes focus temporarily. They are hurting just as much as I. I pray one day we will all be together again, and the only way to believe that is through faith. Even blind faith… idk . I’m sorry

💔🌹
