Hello- I'm new to this forum so I just wanted to give a brief introduction. I recently lost my wife, January '06, after a long fight with breast cancer. I have 4 children aging from 6 to 15. There are a lot of things I'm learning. And a lot of things yet to learn. I hope I can learn from those who have and continue to go through this.

Hi, I am sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my wife in Aug '03 to Lymphoma, so I can relate a bit but I know that no one can really understand how you feel but you. I wish I had some great sage advice to give but all I can say is that life does go on.

Tks SS. I know. Life does go on. And I know our LORD is always with us. I've seen his handy work and how He has blessed us many times since she went home. I find myself thinking often of her not having to endure the pain of treatments and etc., and that makes me smile. My trials now reside in raising these 4 little ones. I know I will suceed, but the human side of me finds it hard sometimes.

Oh Lord, I hold Comesoonmylord up to You. Lord, I know that You hold him and his children in the palm of Your hand. Lord, give him the strength and grace he needs each day to deal with his sorrow and still be able to give his children the love and guidance they need. Lord, I ask that You give him supernatural power to know when each of his children is struggling and grieving and through Your Holy Spirit give him compassion, wisdom, and insight to what they are feeling, even when they don't know it themselves. Lord, I ask that You give him the physical, emotional and mental strength to deal with the children's many needs each day. Lord, Let him know in his heart that this burden is not his to carry, and even though, others may try and want to help, and when there are things he needs that he doesn't even know how to express, YOU know what he needs and You will never leave him or forsake Him, because You have promised. Lord, I ask that at those times when he feels confused, exhausted, angry and lost, that You minister to him in a way that he is totally aware that You are doing so. Help him to be able to just cling to You, Lord. I pray all these things in Jesus' precious name. Amen.
You and your children are in my prayers, dear one.

Pilgrim

Thank you Pilgrim. I know He is with us. I feel his power in many aspects of my life from the childrens issues to the whole scope of our lifes now without our Ginger. Just a few days ago I went shopping with my oldest daughter, she's 15 nearly 16. I had never done this before as this was Ginger's realm. I have to say, I was shocked as to the selection. It was very difficult to find anything that was even close to modest. Nothing has sleeves anymore and almost everything is designed to show her mid-drift. She is a christian young lady and understands that her dress expresses many things about her. But she's 15 and struggles to fit in. I know she wants to wear some of the more "exposing" atire, but I find myself desperately trying to teach her what's appropriate. Ginger did very well with her before, but she's entering an era that we both knew would be hard. Let me know if anyone has any advice here. Tks.

I'm also new to this forum. It helps. I don't feel so alone.

Yeah, I just spent 3 hours at our church 4th of July celebration. Our first w/o Ginger. It seemed a little strange. But I also get some comfort in knowing that I'm not the only one who has or will go through this. I'm trusting in Him and His plan. Somehow I'll be strenghened by it all. We just have to follow by faith.
