They are depending on the Word of our Lord and learning to remember you with love and strength. They are a living tribute to you and everything that you stood for. I believe that you are applauding and praising them every moment of every day.<br />Your sister in Christ, Karen W. in S.W.

My BFF died...Beautifully worded & well-written.<br />My BFF died of leukemia in Feb '06. Her husband is getting remarried. At first, I was a little stunned but then it hit me. It's been nearly 4 years. He SHOULD move on. Lisa NEVERRRRR wanted him to remain single. She didn't want her kids to have no mom. The only way for them to move on in life is for this to happen. It's healthy, it's good. And I'm happy for him. But yes, it's hard to wrap your brain around, isn't it?Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01606570803094936934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40716328257111525.post-20007117962366441992009-11-06T22:08:22.658-06:002009-11-06T22:08:22.658-06:00It does sound like all part of the grieving proces...It does sound like all part of the grieving process. How lovely that Brian was so clear about his feelings, and that you would know them now. I believe he is guiding you here, even on the path to not thinking about him as much.

Yes, I know it's a public blog but still want to give you your space.<br /><br />My dad died two years ago, and yesterday my mom said "Dad loved a good story" and then she started to feel bad about saying that.<br /><br />She said she should have said "Dad loves a good story" instead of talking about him in the past tense.<br /><br />So we talked about it, and the fact that he is gone, and even though we know he is alive in heaven, he is still gone from this earth.<br /><br />Just because my mom is being realistic doesn't mean that she is dishonoring my father, in my opinion. But she still felt weird talking about him in the past tense.<br /><br />The hard part is watching people get on with their lives much quicker than you feel that you can. <br /><br />I think that each person has their own timeline and grieving is a different process for everyone.<br /><br />I think it is healthy to continue to live in the present and look forward to the future. If we keep looking backward we'll miss what's ahead.momsthewordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14519343990735608713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40716328257111525.post-76775508128221518482009-11-06T16:43:32.921-06:002009-11-06T16:43:32.921-06:00I THINK this is exactly what Brian would want as w...I THINK this is exactly what Brian would want as well. <br /><br />Still thinking of you often!<br />KristenKristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04757190486746869272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40716328257111525.post-30020076751366044512009-11-06T15:31:31.858-06:002009-11-06T15:31:31.858-06:00i think you are doing exactly what he would want. ...i think you are doing exactly what he would want.

I am still praying for you and your boys. I stand in awe reading your private thoughts and fears. You are handling this (in my opinion) with grace, intregrity and humor. No one hands us a guidebook on how to handle the death of a spouse. You are navigating a very rocky road, blinded, and you are perservering. Thank you for sharing, know there are people out there thinking of you and bless you.<br /><br />JanetAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
