It will be two years this April that Dave died. I hear you loud and clear..you feel like you have dropped into a very dark hole. I think something I have leanred is that God has you hear for a purpose. You still have family that needs you. It's kind of like "it's a wonderful life"..try to think what your loved ones would do if they didn't have you. My two sons were completely and still are devasted losing their brother. They were like the three musketeers. truly. It has been very hard for them. Think of how your child still needs you here on this earth. I think how David would want me to help hold the family together. we all help support each other. I know it seems like it is too much to bear. It actually is unbearable, but pray out to God and ask him to help you each day...it is not something that all of a sudden switches off. The pain will always be there. Your heart will always be broken. To tell you othewise would be a lie. I said to my husband just yesterday. we were sitting talking. I said "ten years from now, i will fell the same"...i know that is true. Do we go on with our lives and do the things we have to do..yes...but I will always miss Dave, i will always grieve for Dave. What I keep in my mind is this..."Do not grieve as those who have no hope"..God says we should grieve yes...but think about those who have no hope, who think that this life is the end of everything...and do not look forward to an everlasting eternity with our loved ones and the Lord. I keep my eye on that goal..i think everyday...One Day closer to Dave....that is how I look at it...and trust me..i cry everyday, i miss him everyday...i still cannot believe this has happened, but it has..and if you are bearing it and if you are still here enduring it...then God HAS not given you more than you can bear. Trust Him..pray to Him, he will get you out of that black hole that seems hopeless. It is not hopeless..we have a future...Rose
