  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hello,
I lost my wife, best friend and my little bit of heaven on earth this month Oct. 15th, 2005. I am lost without her. The only thing keeping me going right now is my three kids, 16-14-12. If anyone else has experienced this please write and tell me how you got through it all. She was only 43 and right now I am angry and confused. At times I feel that God has punished me for something, but I know he has a plan and that he does not have to reveal this to me, but it doesn't make it easier. For once in my life I am questioning everything, but I know I shouldn't. I feel empty, lost and numb. But I have to keep going for the kids. Thanks for listening:help: :sigh: :( :cry:

I am so sorry you lost your precious Denise and your kids lost their mother. And all you reactions and feelings I am sure are very normal but still very painful.
My prayers are with you and your family and that God will meet your need and your childrens needs...
Have you looked at the grief forum here?

Im sorry about your loss. I am 16 years old and cant even imagine lossing a parent at those ages. Tell your kids that this is from another kid .....Hang in there, even though your mother will never be at seeing you off to Junior/Senior prom, highschool graduation, wedding, starting a family that she is always looking down at you and smiling at you each and every day because of your accomplishments.

Praying for the family!

hi there,

i don't know if this will help you but it sure helps me. although i have not gone through a loss like yours i know those who have very close to me. i always hear to keep real busy and also as hard as it is to help others (as this will take your mind off things and make you feel better) also join a grief support group that will help you and the kids. call your local hospital and ask where you can find one. try an online support group too

I am so sorry. :( I know it hurts. And for awhile you do want to blame God, because it is very easy to do. Just keep the faith and pray. That's all you can do. Just think abotu what she would want you to do. I.E. Don't grieve, I know this is easier said than done. Just pray to Jesus. God Bless you man.

I have lost someone very close to me, my brother. He was only 38 years old. He was my best friend in the whole world. He made me laugh soooo much, my stomach would hurt. 3 months before he passed, I moved a long way just to be near him and his family. What got me through was God and through God he used the people closest too me to get through. Even my mom, who lost her only son, was a pillar of strength. She knew we had a deep bond, but to this day, 7 years later, I'm amazed at her strength. God will use the closest people in your life to get you through the hardest times. He even uses strangers to pray for you too. Keeping only the good memories and holding on too them will help and of course time. Days pass into weeks, weeks pass in months and months pass into years. Great memories never leave, but the pain will ease in the coming seasons. The holidays are upon us (happy thanksgiving to you and the kids). Keep her memory alive with her loving spirit, because I know she would not want all of you to be depressed. She was not an unhappy soul on this earth, but alive with much love to give, and she is supremely happy in heaven. She is always looking down, not with a frown, but with a smile because thats all they know in such a beautiful place.:holy: So, don't fret my friend, God will emininate his and Dee's love all throughout the days until you meet face to face. Love, your friend in christ. Karen4you

halfaman,

I wish I had the words to say ! to help ease your sorrow and your kids sorrow as well but I don't, all that I can do is pray for you and your kids, and leave you with this poem I wrote on January 21,2002

The Wind Is Blowing

The wind is blowing cold today
I don't know what to do
As I shiver here in my despair
I hear a voice,saying Child come hear

Its not my way Lord I say
Where are you anyway ?

I am in the shadows of the night
I am in the warmth of the bright
sunlight
I am in the wind that is blowing
cold
Its your hand I long to hold
You I want to sheild from the
cold

Please make the right choice
Follow my voice
I will shelter thee !
