Your life is a gift from god,what you do with it is your gift to god

[Dyfed]

My husband died on the 11th Nov,just a couple of weeks ago,I have never known such grief,the evenings are the worst,the house seems so empty without him,if there is anyone going through what I am going through,I will pray for you.
I found a web sight that send you a little pray every morning for the next 365 days,go to devotionalgriefshare.org.
I have received such nice sympathy cards,I got a beautiful prayer today I would like to share with you.Chris.

Angel's Kiss
It's my selfishness that makes me cry,
I wasn't ready to say good-bye,

I wasn't ready to let you go,
Pray you know I loved you so,

It's me ,not you who suffers here,
I know your life goes on, somewhere,

I know that I should celebrate,
you've walked through heaven's
glorious gate,

But,still I can't stop thinking of,
your smile,your touch,your special love,

I know that you hear what I say,
It's just done in a differant way,

And,so I want to send you this,
to you,the one I love and miss,

All my love upon an Angel's kiss.

What a wonderful poem.

Remember that earth has no pain that Heaven can not feel.

Praying for you.

there is a wonderful book called "a grief observed" by C.S. Lewis its not long and was written as a coping mechanism after his wife died. he discusses his anger, his sadness, his doubts about faith. Its a great work, and may help you with your grief.

Take care,

Mark

Dyfed-
I undertand grief so well. I am not sure which one is harder, lossing a child, or losing your husband.
One thing that has truley helped me is finding a life verse and saying it to yourself daily. Truley meditating upon Gods word is healing.
My life veres is 1 Chronicles 16:11 Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.
There are many many vereses that God will point to you that you should memorize. It will help. In the meantime, you are on a jorney, a painful one, but one that will also help you grow.
My prayers are with you.

Whenever you're ready, there's another book that has been a real comfort to me as I've grown through loss. It's by Elisabeth Elliot, and it's called A Path Through Suffering. I don't know if you know her story, but she has been widowed twice. She doesn't write easy platitudes. She writes from the heart, as someone who knows both pain and comfort.

Your post reminds me of a line in a poem by Amy Carmichael. It says:

"Hold us in quiet through the age-long minute
When Thou art silent, and the wind is shrill.."

May He hold you in quiet through your age-long minute, too. God bless you, Dyfed.

I hope that your pain will ease as time goes on, But, I also hope that your memories will always remain and that they will help you thru this time of grief. Bless you and I hope that you can get thru the holidays without hurting to much. Losing a spouse is really hard to deal with especially around this time of year.
