I lost my sister.

[strat4me]

Hi, I'm new to the board.
I lost my sister on New years Eve '06. She was shot and killed by her husband. This has been the hardest thing for me to go thru. We've had a lot of friends giving prayers and support the past week and that feels good. I know she is in a better place now. He is in jail. My problem is, I can't stop thinking of things. At times I'm filled with revenge and hate, other times I'm filled with memories. I try to replace the revenge feelings with the fact that I know justice will come down on him but its so hard right now.

I guess I don't know what to ask for, I'm sure time will heal somewhat. I don't blame God for what happened. It's just so hard to believe this actually happened.

Thanks,
John

The bible says to pray for your enemies. Do good for them, because in doing so, 'you'll heap coals of fire onto their heads.' This is because when you do good for them, the Lord takes vengeance on them. Give it to the Lord. He's a much better avenger than we are. Rom. 12:18-25

Death is not the end of life. It's the beginning of life. The Lord said 'God is not the Father of the dead.. but of the living'. To be out of our earthly bodies.. is to be in the presence of the Lord. Alive and well. Your sister lives, and you will see her again.

I am so sorry to hear of your sister's death. Murder is such a horrible pain to deal with. I empathize with your loss and grief, as my brother died in October. He was only 40 years old. How old was your sister? Did she have any kids?

I will pray for you, and for her husband in jail. He needs the Lord desperately. Hopefully, you already know that the Lord is a great source of comfort at this time. Hold on to Him and don't let go. He will hold you up through this time. He is holding me up at this moment.

God bless.

Hi Trish,

My sister was 46 yrs old. She had 2 boys and was just recently a new grandma. She only got to see her grandson once.

Did you lose your brother the same way?

John,
My brother was not murdered. He developed massive clots in his lungs and died as a result. It was sudden, the rescue workers could not save him by the time they got to him. He was single, and had no children. I miss him terribly.

God bless.

Hi! Welcome to CF!
I lost my only brother Jan. 24 of 2006, and it's really tough. I thought I could handle it better than what I have, but it's really been ailing me lately. I think the closer the anniversary of his death gets, the more I think.
Although I didn't lose him in the same manner you lost your sister, I can feel your pain to a point. God will help you through no matter what for He is always with you.
If you ever need to talk, please feel free to pm me. My pm box is always open.
I am so sorry for your loss and our prayers are with you and your family.
With love,
Alana
