SD - may I suggest just calling and talking to a pastor on the phone. Pray before you call and the one you call will be the right one. As far as breaking down while talking, the pastor would be more worried if you Didn't break down. I praise God that you found your way here - it is a start.

it is so very sad what has happened to your family SD. I can't offer advice. I am shocked just reading this... All I can do is offer up my heart in prayer for you.

"Father, please be with SystematicDestruction as he goes through this painful time. You know how hard it is for him Father, and I just pray that you will surround him with love and peace and comfort him... Lord, help Him to seek counsel, friends, family, You, any and all to help him through this. Father, please be him I pray and remind him that you were with him then and that you with him now to get through this, for you will never leave nor forsake him... In Jesus Name, Amen."

Many prayers, somber heart...

I see this is from August 19th... how are you doing?

Not well. I'm alive. That's about all I can say that's positive at this point. My life is crashing down around me. I try and hope the future will be better, but at this point I think I'm doomed.

I know this smiling huggy might not seem like much SD, but you pm me if you ever just need somebody to listen. Don't give up. It is very grievous what you are going through, but God is with you in this and you at least have support here.

I really encourage you to write out what you are feeling... I know it might be a lot, but it might help you feel better and you can throw it away too...

SD, I'm glad you came back. None of us are doomed but satan wants us to feel that way.

I remember that you moved but did you change jobs too? How is it going in the town you live in now?

Wow.

I think I would sit in a room and just quietly go mad.

I'm sure you imagine that it would have been you instead of them. But that didn't happen. Instead you are the only one left. Could you imagine any one of them having to survive this absolute horror? I guess if there could be anything positive about your situation it is that you suffer the horror of continuing on instead of one of them. Maybe I shouldn't use the word positive. Perhaps a better expression would be least negative.
You couldn't die for them. But now you can live for them.

I'm so sorry. And I am so sorry for the inadequacy of my words in the face if such a thing.

Thanks. Do you think it was sheer coincidence that your family was taken the day after you accepted Christ?

To me the only way you're going to get up to living for these you cherish is to gain perspective. It's gonna take ... well it's gonna take forever. Even with the little things I've been through I know that.

Please, croak out a cry for help. Even if you can just reach some place that will try to get you spiritual help. I don't know many ministries ready to handle that from the first phone call. I might only suggest Focus on the Family's hotline? 1-800-AFAMILY. I'm not really sure how they'll handle it either, but they've been a help in the past.

One of the facts we Christians are compelled to hold onto through this pain, is that your family isn't gone forever. I really hope to see you all.

I would so wish to cry with you.
