Could do with prayers

[Anhelyna]

Selfishly I'm asking for your prayers .

I'm really struggling at present , asking why I have been punished by losing my beloved husband .

I know I should not be like this - but at the moment the sense of loss is overwhelming

 

[Michael G]

You know I will be keeping you in my prayers!

Lord, have mercy on Thy servant Anhelyna in her time of grief.

 

[Dorothea]

God's comfort and strength.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry for your loss. I know how much my father grieved my mother's death. She died exactly 2 months before their 35th anniversary and they were soul mates. It is okay to feel like you do. God understands. It is better to struggle with Him over it than deny you have those feelings. If we are being honest, then we give God room to work. Please feel free to post here when you feel overwhelmed.

Prayers for you !!!

'Tis never selfish to ask for prayer!

I'm so sorry you're hurting right now my friend. May the Lord comfort you in His mercy during this difficult time.

 

[Rhamiel]

mey the peace of the Lord rest in you
may you abide in Christ, and Christ in you

 

[Coralie]

I'm shedding tears with you and for you. These things are so hard. Please don't ever keep yourself from talking to us about it.

May God comfort His handmaiden Anhelyna in her time of grief.

This time last year I realised that we were more than likely not going to win the fight - I was still hoping but also trying to be realistic .

He had just gone back into hospital - driving himself in , in the car I/we had bought in February , on his insistence , so I had a car that would take me wherever I needed to go no matter the weather . He drove the Freelander just once - the time to go into Hospital, and of course he never came out .

44 years of marriage ended on 28 May last year

Keep your chin up and remember that God is always holding you in the palm of his hand.

Oh Anhelyna. I am so sorry. It's still so raw for you I know. Those memories that are burnt onto your heart--they are so hard to bear, especially when that time of year draws near again.

I wish I was sitting in your front room with you, handing you a cup of tea and talking to you face to face.

I hope there's a presanctified liturgy or at least an open church somewhere near you tonight? I am thinking about you so much.

Lord, have mercy on Thy servant and save her!

 

[ArmyMatt]

Lord have mercy!

 

[Mary of Bethany]

Oh my dear Anhelyna - I echo Coralie's thoughts. I wish I could just give you a hug and sit and listen to you over a cup of tea.

Instead, I offer my prayers for you and for your dear husband.



Mary

 

[Lukaris]

Lord, have mercy.

 

[Yeznik]

Lord Jesus, Son of God, have Mercy on your servant Anhelyna.

 

[rusmeister]

You and Raymond are on my permanent prayer list.

I don't know whether to recommend Lewis's "A Grief Observed" or not. It's what comes to mind. I can't imagine how any words would comfort, though.

May the Lord bring you to a place where you can see as Lewis did!

Hugs and prayers for you!

 

[ProtectionofMotherofGod]

Praying for God to comfort you and also send you many comforting friends at this time.

I'm so sorry. I know it's really tough with the one year anniversary coming up. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Like Coralie, I wish I could talk with you face to face and be able to give you a hug. 44 years of marriage is a long time. If you want to get stuff off your chest, please do so, whether it is on this board or in a PM.
