Dear Carolyn,
"...and God will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more..," Revelation 21:3,4. You have reached out to help, comfort and guide us to a higher quality of life, now it is our turn. We are here for you.
John 11:25, Jesus says", I am the resurrection and life., even though he dies, he will come back to life." This is not just literary works or history, these are real, alive and meant for you, I and all who will listen. Reach out for this knowledge, let it guide you. You will be comforted and refreshed. (Ecclesiastes 9:5,10)(Matthew 6:9,10)(Revelation 21:5)

Dearest kind people- What would I do without your kind, compassionate words... Knowing you care means so much-Thank You All.

My first plan was to answer each post individually...time doesn't permit me to do that but I know you will understand. :) So I thought I would post a "thank you" to all of you on one post. I also wanted to share just one of the inspiring poems I received over this past week.

When I Must Leave You

When I must leave you for a while,
Please do not grieve and shed wild tears
And hug your sorrow to you through the years,
But start out bravely with a gallant smile;
And for my sake and in my name
Live on and do all things the same.
Feed not your loneliness on empty days,
But fill each waking hour in useful ways,
Reach out your hand in comfort and cheer
And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near;
And never, never be afraid to die,
For I am waiting for you in the sky!
We part with our loved ones but not forever
If we trust God's promise and doubt it never.

Author unknown

Not having Paul here doesn't seem real-and yet I know it is...although I have lost other loved ones, this experience is different...I haven't sorted it all out yet (haven't done enough over-analysing yet :)), but I know that time and worthy work will bring all the lessons I am supposed to learn from this.

I could not have endured this without the skills I learned from the program and from all of you. Bless you for thinking of me and my family.

Thank you all - each and every one of you, Carolyn

Hey Carolyn! I don't know what you're going through, but hang in there. It seems to be a pretty tight nit group on this site so I hope you find comfort in the people around you and in the group. Take care!

Carolyn:

Bless you!!! I love the poem you just posted.
what you are going through is hard. But you'll come through it.
I join others praying for you and yours.
I know it will be lonely going forward.
But remember - many care and will be here for you.
May you find peace now.
