Your words in this post are so gentle and so few, yet say so much... Wow. Thank you for posting so beautifully - I'll be praying for you and the family now I've 'met' you.Flosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098894367955345944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1121927043514599763.post-65837744899904228012013-11-26T08:37:03.190-06:002013-11-26T08:37:03.190-06:00Lisa, please accept my condolences and thank you f...Lisa, please accept my condolences and thank you for visiting me at Thistle Cove Farm. I have several posts of the journey Dave and I took, if you do a search for "Dave" and you'll find most of them.<br />Also, sporadically, I write a blog called 1WifetoWidow and it's helped some, perhaps there's something that would help you as well. It needs updating, just another thing on my ever-increasing to-do list.<br />Dave made his peace with God only five days before he died; that's given me a lot peace but it's still been incredibly hard. The worst was in March, after Dave died in November, when I wanted to kill myself. Yes, I'm a Bible believing, faith beholding Christian and two things stayed my hand...the animals need me and God whispered, "But Sandra, if you do kill yourself, you'll miss all the blessings I have for you." I've always asked "why" and I've always chosen to believe God knows best; even so, the struggle is great. <br />We had no children, Dave and I, and my goal is to sell and move; God willing. <br />Too much information but perhaps there's someone who reads your blog and the comments who needs to know...it's okay to question God, it's okay to be afraid, it's okay because our God tells us to cast our cares upon Him, He cares for us.<br />Someone told me, "One day you'll be reunited with Dave" and I replied, "One day that won't matter because I'll be reunited with Jesus." It's all about Jesus and His story; if losing Dave and me telling the story helps someone else find Jesus, it was worth it all.Thistle Cove Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15722295191884810953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1121927043514599763.post-80785431861513253622013-11-25T22:18:30.751-06:002013-11-25T22:18:30.751-06:00Lisa, you are a woman with eyes for eternity.
