Hello  David,
I'm   sorry for your loss, and I'll be praying for you.
When I get   over whelmed with  loneliness  for the loved ones who
have gone on , the things   that help the most are    to remember that
every day   is one   day closer to seeing them again. It's also
strengthening to be able to climb   up close to Jesus and remember he
has borne  my grief for each loved  one and He understands.
When it seems really unbearable that there won't be any more shared
memories, I am learning to stop and think about the  sharing being
delayed,  not cut off.
    Let us know how you are, we'll always pray.
Donna Bell
