I have known grief and loss. I have held the hands of my elders in nursing home as they left this world. I have whispered into my daddy's ear at the young age of 23 that I would take care of Mama. I have held my children and husband while they shed tears over loosing my Uncle Tom who was like my second father then a month later my Father-in-law all due to cancer. I have received the heartbreaking phone call from my friend when the cops found her sons murdered body only a year after loosing her firefighter husband in a line of duty death. Only to hold her while she cried a month later due to loosing her dad to cancer. Then a year ago this October 28 I fought back tears and anger as I received the phone call about my dear friend committing suicide only to find out a few hours later that my husband had heard the gun shot.
Through all of this I tried to be "strong and take care of everyone else"
I was proud that I could help others all the while drowning in my own sorrow.
But no more will I drown as I will let my Father in Heaven lead me through my sorrow and have total faith that I will still be standing on the other end.
I will not be prideful no more as I will bare my soul and pain to God and forever trust in him.
The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves
the crushed in spirit.
Psalms 34:18
