Wow... well put. I think of you very often...Sandy,<br />Wow... well put. I think of you very often even though I have not stopped by here in quite awhile. I don't know how to manage so many blogs I love to visit. Thanks for your kind words about my mom. Each day is getting a little better. I also wanted to recommend a book to you - "A Grace Disguised" by Jerry Sittser. Your library will probably have it. The author was one of my son's professors at Whitworth and he is also friends with one of his sons. So he knows the story quite well. Jerry also has another book "When God Doesn't answer your prayer" which I have not read, but I think he is a great writer. Hope this helps a little...Pamela Holdermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03955051007619518369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2354957594662548238.post-67592985755161440162011-01-22T08:20:18.423-08:002011-01-22T08:20:18.423-08:00Oh Sandy, I wish I could give you a hug. But too ...Oh Sandy, I wish I could give you a hug. But too many miles lay between so I will say what my grandma always said to me on the phone..."can you feel my arms around you?" <br />You and I have lived different circumstances, but I had so many years alone and did my own share of screaming. Seems to me usually over the ironing board! The tears would fall and I would yell my frustrations. But we are told he collects our tears and I know he hears. You are not alone. Stay strong and keep walking. That is all I know to tell you. <br />Hugs, CherylWhosyergurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08796459473501881680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2354957594662548238.post-44608117747990027722011-01-12T11:51:39.691-08:002011-01-12T11:51:39.691-08:00Sandy my heart goes out to you as you suffer the p...Sandy my heart goes out to you as you suffer the pain and sadness!I hope that God will give you the strength and much positive thought- to keep you going.<br /><br />Big Hugs!<br />Sandy<br /><br />P.S I love that you wrote love letters to your kids!

Sounds to me that you are going through something that is, unfortunately, normal for those who lose loved ones. Just hang in there and look for him within you in the ways he has influenced you and carry on! I'm really glad you're working, channel some energy into your creativity, yor dolls, maybe book-reading. Just keep the mind active. <br /><br />Hang in there and take care.<br /><br />Love,<br />MaryPurple Cowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11016727639028322093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2354957594662548238.post-30289891419454219832011-01-11T10:42:42.162-08:002011-01-11T10:42:42.162-08:00Ditto to Leah, I couldn't say it any better. I...Ditto to Leah, I couldn't say it any better. I was just talking to a dear friend who has been dealing with the loss of her parents. It's so different from the love of your life. But the conclusion is the same. The grieving process is brutal. A roller coaster of emotions. HANG IN THERE! It's harder when you have loved and have been loved with every fiber of your being. Prayers are sent your way everyday. He is listening. It's hard to feel his arms around you when you are in so much pain. He is there! We are here for you too. with Love, SharonSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13994336647199571018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2354957594662548238.post-2599972835828127482011-01-11T09:26:28.944-08:002011-01-11T09:26:28.944-08:00Dear Sandy...I wish I had some wonderful words of ...Dear Sandy...I wish I had some wonderful words of wisdom to give you...something to take away your pain & fears...but we both know there isn't a "magic pill" to take. Raw emotion and grief are a part of life and you have shared yours with us with grace & dignity. I think about you often and my heart aches for you, prays for you. If my husband were suddenly gone, I know I'd be lost; I can only begin to imagine what you are going through. Pink days or not, you get up to greet the day and you survive...and that in itself is inspiring, dear friend:) But, you do so much more: you share your faith, your hopes, and your heart with us. Please don't be sorry for that. Warm hugs and wishes always. xoLeah Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816561675529288784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2354957594662548238.post-31906123117303540072011-01-10T18:41:04.775-08:002011-01-10T18:41:04.775-08:00Sandy, The dark days and sad journey you have been...Sandy, The dark days and sad journey you have been given is so heartbreaking to know you are going through right now. Don't ever feel bad about writing about your true emotions, life is not always uplifting or inspirational. Your faith must be your rock right now. Sending you love and wishes for comfort. xo ~LiliLilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03003968489244660242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2354957594662548238.post-17624088284482168392011-01-10T18:38:13.165-08:002011-01-10T18:38:13.165-08:00Dear Sandy,

I have been told by those wiser than me, when we are in too much pain to pray, others pray for us. I know that is what I am holding on to. <br />CherylCherylhttp://www.acoastalpointofview.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
