Thanks for posting Trish. I am praying. You may have already heard of or know Sara and Sam Ward, our worship pastor and family at ECC. They have walked through cancer (Sam's) and the loss of their 3 year old son Silas to Leigh's Disease several years ago. Her blog, Poets and Saints is a healing balm to many. http://poetsandsaints.com . She writes from the heart and is very real. I thought you might find a kindred spirit and community there. Blessings.

Thanks Trish for your honest and open sharing of your heart and life; I believe your words will help others heal that are carrying their own experiences of losing a loved one. I believe along with you and Barry for all the good and for the good of God our Father and His blessed Son. Lord Jesus and Holy Spirit give you both strength and courage for today;
Love and prayers, Pastor Greg at WMC

I continue to pray for you and your family. Prayers for comfort and strength. I know the upcoming holidays will be very difficult, but God will hold you close! Prayers for your mom also!!

Trish,
The Lord is constantly bringing you and your family into my thoughts. Praying for His peace to fill your hearts and minds during this season.

Trish, I want you to know not a day goes by that I don't think about you and pray for your family. None of us can completely understand your pain. Please know, your family has been an amazing example to all of us, your faith has shown through all of this. There is no right or wrong g way to grieve, no time frame. I am praying God will walk you through and keep you in His loving arms as these anniversaries and holidays approach. You are loved so much, please never forget that!❤❤❤

Thank you for your honesty and sharing your raw feelings. Praying for you all to always feel God’s presence, as you grapple with this new reality. Anniversaries ignite many feelings and thoughts. Praying for God’s strength and peace to see you each through.

Love and prayers
