Hi, I lost my mom 11 years ago. Right after my husband and I were married, we went on our honeymoon, we came back and two weeks later she died of breast cancer. It was a complete surprise to me because I didn't know she was sick. At the beginning it was very rough for me because I was very close to her. We spoke to each other every day sometimes more than once. I felt very sad because she was not here to share in my happiness. I can honestly tell you that I know exactly how you feel. I didn't want to talk, see anyone and all I would do is cry. I became very angry. I started to pray, and ask the Lord to help me through this. One night I had a dream. In that dream the Lord spoke to me and told me that my mom was in heaven and she was ok. I have had peace since that day. Although I still miss her greatly and think of her often, I know she is in a better place. I enjoyed the times I had with her and cherish them. I pray that, with time, you will find peace in your heart. Comfort in Bereavement by Carol L. Baldwin "I feel like could cry forever. I miss him so much that I actually hurt inside. Will my life ever be the same? Have you felt the deep sorrow of the mourning widow? If you haveee lost a child, parent, close relative or friend, perhaps you have also felt comfortless. I there anyone who can minister to you when you feel overwhelmed with grief? The psalmist shows that he idenfies with the pain of the bereaved: The cords of death entagled me, the anguish of the grave came upon me; I was overcome by trouble and sorrow(Psalm 116:3) Enveloped by emptiness, loneliness and stress, who does the psalmist turn to? I called on the name of the Lord: "O Lord, save me!' (Psalm 116:4). He turns to the only one who will dry all of our tears(Isaiah 25:8); the one who carries all of our sorrows (Isaiah 53:4); the man acquainted with grief (Isaiah 53:3). Likewise, we must turn to God and his Word for comfort in our times of sorrow. Without denying our pain, Scripture give us a proper perspective, something we can easily lose in times of emotional trauma and crisis. God's Word give hope when we feel utterly alone and hopeless. We can take comfort in knowing that God does not allow a trial in our lives that is too great for us to bear (1Corinthians 10:13). We can also be assured that death does not conquer those who die in Christ (1 Corinthians 15:22, 53-56). God is in charge of all things. Even the terrible destruction and the traumatic aftermath of death for those who mourn are under his lordship. God's Word and Spirit can comfort our grieving hearts so that we will be able to say with the psalmist: I may walk before the Lord in the land of the living... I am (his) servant... Praise the Lord (Psalm 116:9, 16,19)
