And, while I was at your blog, I found myself comforted by some of your writing. It is a wonderful feeling to meet someone a little bit farther down the same path. If you ever want to find me elsewhere, I am on Facebook or I can be contacted at psandboys@yahoo.comSarah Heywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07576558183257427173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843707059035864321.post-56555209181899718792013-06-22T18:00:21.158-05:002013-06-22T18:00:21.158-05:00Sarah,
I am praying for you with understanding!! ...Sarah, <br />I am praying for you with understanding!! I am a homeschool widow of three boys! I heard about you in the lastest NICHE newsletter & google helped me find your blog.<br /><br />It has been 7 1/2 years since my husband Jim suddenly went to heaven. And I just want to share a few things. Only a few because the "grief fog" as I call it makes a woman not remember alot!!!!<br /><br />• B-R-E-A-T-H-E I found that it hurt to breathe at times or that I would almost forget to breathe deeply at times. For the children's sake, I knew I had to keep breathing. There were times that I felt I had so much to do and it overwhelmed me. I would tell myself, "All I got to do is breathe."<br /><br />• Run and cling to JESUS. This wasn't always easy, the pain was so great. But just like a parent responds to a newborn's cry, our loving Lord responds to our deep groanings. Many times I cried out for the LORD to just hold me up. He did. I would curl up in a chair and ask the Great Comforter to hold me all night. He has been faithful.<br /><br />• People told me to take it one day at a time. Are you kidding me?! A day is full of minutes, 1440 minutes to be exact, and each minute can be agonizing. So I made my own saying, "One moment at a time, one breath at a time, one prayer at a time." And I told myself this often.<br /><br />Many hugs & shared tears, <br />ChristineChristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07155383233560215768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843707059035864321.post-53475807534180198092013-06-22T11:35:56.251-05:002013-06-22T11:35:56.251-05:00Continuing to pray Sarah.
