My friend, I care.  Take my hand and know this>>and cry.  I will cry with you....

 

Take my hand and let us cry together.

 

It's okay....

 

I need somebody to cry with toooooo.

Loss of a Child (author unknown) The moment that I knew you had died, My heart split in two, The one side filled with memories, The other died with you. I often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon my cheek. Remembering you is easy, I do it every day, But missing you is a heartache, That never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart, And there you will remain, Life has gone on without you, But it never will be the same. For those who still have their children, Treat them with tender care, You will never know the emptiness, As when you turn and they are not there. Don't tell me that you understand, don't tell me that you know. Don't tell me that I will survive, How I will surely grow. Don't tell me this is just a test, That I am truly blessed. That I am chosen for the task, Apart from all the rest. Don't come at me with answers That can only come from me, Don't tell me how my grief will pass, That I will soon be free. Don't stand in pious judgment Of the bonds I must untie, Don't tell me how to grieve, Don't tell me when to cry. Accept me in my ups and downs, I need someone to share, Just hold my hand and let me cry, And say, "My friend, I care." )

Nana, what I KNOW is that it is scriptural that our loved ones remember us from their stance in heaven, the before and after life with us.  They love us, just as we love them.  They don't miss us, because a thousand years is as like a day in heaven, so...it's like they are honestly going to see us tomorrow.

 

What else that I know from scripture is that there is no sadness in heaven.  Who could honestly be in heaven if they are sad or grieving for us below?  (Like we are for them above?)  They are having a handy'dandy good time in heaven, our sooo very loved ones, because that's the PROMISE of our Christ.  Heaven is our new Eden once we pass on and make it....

 

What I DON'T know for sure that is scriptural is if our messages get to our loved ones.  So, altho not scriptural, my opinion only, I honestly believe that if our messages sent out or not SAD (no sadness in heaven), nor mad (no anger in heaven)>>>but if our messages are of love and sweet remembrances, then Christ as our go'between will deliver that message straight to the one that we so love to miss and have back with us.  Postive messages.  I honestly believe it, and that's just MY opinion.  No grief assigned, because no tears are allowed in heaven.

 

I'm searching and searching the scriptures, so that it won't be simply my opinion, and I will sure dance when I find that I'm right>>that our children honestly do hear from us from here via Christ.

 

I send messages every day (positive ones) via Christ, and have faith that they are reaching my Jacky.  I don't want him to feel my sadness, so I pass on my praises.

 

Hang tight, Nana.  I will find scripture...forever searching.

Nana, Can I have your email addy?

Thank you, Nana, for your sweet words.  I wasn't just sent to you, but you were sent to me too, because it is words like yours that help me to know and affirm that I'm being used of God.  I soooo want to be of use to him.  And what better use than just simply love those who are hurting?  God IS love, and you are comforted through me at the moment because I am so full of his love, but also YOU will truly understand the depth of his love later, the more that you reach out to him to claim joy and peace into your life.

 

Please know that it isn't me saving you from insanity in your pain.  I always pray before I speak, ask God to be the author of the message, and truly speak from my heart pure scripture>>the promises, the truth as I know it from his word.  I try to comfort in his manner, because I know his manner of comfort.

 

Maybe he sent me to you because he LOVES you, and maybe I am someone that can help lead you out of your pain, because yes, I'm in pain too, and we share a pain of...what just happened?  Why us and ours? 

 

And maybe he sent you to me because, altho I was functioning fine and had peace because I know his promises, I was and am still reeling with the shock of Jacky's death and the sudden constant questions that naturally come with it, and run to my precious bible for answers.  I try to share with you all that I discover, that I know and have always known in my heart is the truth.  He has plans far greater than we can imagine, and one day we will all be together with our families, but not ONLY with THEM, but with each other as one big happy family.  We will be one BIG family chain of love, if only we but simply believe.  From our heavenly stance, we will look back in time and smile and be glad that things worked out this way, because all things work out for the good to them that believe.

 

Maybe he sent you to me to put the rug back under my feet.

 

Whatever his reasons, he sent us to cross paths for a reason, and I praise him for it. 

 

Thank you, Nana, for your kind words.  You, too, are more than simply an internet friend.  You are a friend in Christ.  This entire memorial site and those that have lost loved ones and come here to remember and reach out to others in pain, light candles, be available for each other...  We are all more than internet friends.  We are truly joined together because we have one thing in common>>the shocking loss of a loved one soooo dear and close to our hearts.  We will be true friends forever, in strengths and weaknesses.

 

Love you, Nana and family!
