Try reading the book Boundaries by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend. They are both Christians and the book is Christian based. The book was published a number of years ago and was a best seller. It explains when to say yes, when to say no, and to take control of your life. It is...

I am so sorry Barb. I lost my husband five years ago and it is hard. Praying for you!

I am so sorry for your loss. Being so far away from your mother and being by yourself your grief is compounded. Greiving is normal, but what you are going through is even worse. You are very depressed and while depression is normal your thoughts of suicide worry me. From what you have said I...

Anniversaries can be very painful. My husband died July 1, 2007 from cancer, so it has been five years for me. It does get better with time. Praying for you and your family.

Talking with your pastor is a wonderful idea. The clergy deal with all kinds of life issues and death is one of them. Also show him the website for grief share and see what he knows about it as it is churched based.

If you don't grieve the way that you feel you should then you really do need grief counseling. It doesn't not help to try to ignore the feelings because they will just come out some other way, just like the depression that your mother thinks occurred. I had counseling with Hospice because my...

:wave:Hannah, I hope that you are alright. You might want to consider posting in the singles section of CF for encouragment and fellowship. It is a very busy forum that you might enjoy. Some of these other forums do not get a lot of people in them. http://www.christianforums.com/f137/

You need to go into grief counseling. It will be five years this July 1st since my husband passed away from cancer. I had counseling and it helped a lot. There is still grief, but with time it does get better. Try this website to see if there is a place close to you that you can go to for...

Praying for you! It is very difficult to have a loved one die. This July 1st will be five years since my husband passed away from cancer. The grief is still there, but time does make it better. I had grief counseling after my husband's death and it helped me a lot. You might want to consider...

Hi Hannah, welcome to Christian Forums. I am so sorry that you going through a lot of grief and pain. I hope that you have someone close to you that you can talk with. You say you don't have any friends, but perhaps a family member or someone from your church that you trust. You might also...

I think that you must be very naive if you don't realize that most Christians understand where the orgins of Christmas came from. We are just able to separate it from pagan beliefs. We know that Jesus was not born on December 25 and that his birth is mixed up with other traditions from other...

I also saw that show and it was rather explicit, but I was not offended. She did mention that she was going to go into more details than she had on previous occassions because she felt that she needed to have people really understand what she had gone through. She understands what other people...

I don't think you are the bad guy. I just think your insistence that you are right and everyone should believe what you believe is wrong. Saying everyone who celebrates Christmas is into paganism is an insult to all Christians.

Yes JRSut1000 I am very aware of your thoughts about Christmas. I got to see all of it on December 25, 2011 when you voiced your opposition to anyone celebrating Christmas. It was most distasteful. The thread got moved to the General Theology forum because of your debating. I am a Christian...

Please do this! What that store did to you and your family is terrible. I just lost my dog in April and he was sick for a week with vet care. I understand how upset you are. Praying for you!

Praying for Agatha's safe return!

I am so sorry that you and your children are going through this. Losing a loved one is a terrible experience and your loss is so recent. My husband passed away almost five years ago and the first year was the hardest. I understand how unreal it can seem. I had counseling after my husband's...

Praying for you. May God have mercy on you and free you of your pain and suffering.
