Slumber hits me
in my depressed state
missing my loved one
who no longer feels pain
I'm missing her laughter
and conversation on who's to blame
Jody comforted me so much
while here on this plane
All I know is the knife of death
cuts the ones who loved her so.
I know in time this awful aloneness I feel
must erase the sting of death.
I asked God why she died so young
and haven't found the answer I want
I do know that it's Gods will not mine
that was done and that time will heal
my wounded heart. I will find laughter again.
yet, haven't an answer I can accept?

Dear Jody Time and more time is the answer.  That and the knowledge that God has reasons we cannot understand but will some day.  Just take one day at a time.  Love, joyce

I'm sorry for your loss.  The heaviness at times almost seems unbearable, but as we reach to help others, it lifts.  Joyce is right about 'time.'  That time passes faster as we're helping others.  Who can relate better to the loss of a loved one than you?  God has equipped you. Thank you for sharing your heart.

May 2006 bring happy memories and blessings galore.

You sound so sad, and I can relate to that sadness and also to not finding that true peace yet.  Mine is under different circumstances, but I know that you and I BOTH will one day find peace and we will understand why what happened actually had to happen and your friend's death will not be in vain and your pain will cease a little but never fully go away.  I pray for you.

Take solace in the fact that your loved ones are in a place far greater than what we could ever imagine. You will see them again some day, and spend eternity together in the grace of the Lord
