"I have bowed low to an extreme degree...all day long I have walked about sad...I have grown numb to an extreme degree...as for my lovers and my companions,they keep standing away ...my close aquaintances themselves have stood off at a distance."(Psalms 38:6,8,11). Have you ever felt this way? I know I have especially when I lost my younger sister when she was killed by a drunk driver. As you can see one of God's close friends David felt this way when he was alive. Isn't it comforting to know we are not alone in how we feel?
But what hope is there for you and your family? This is not the end. Imagine talking to your sister again face to face and expressing your feelings like you expressed to us. Imagine telling her how much you missed her and what events happened after she died.Imagine giving her a big hug and her wiping the tears off your face saying to you "Its okay its me Im here." She goes and askes about your other siblings and parents yet before she can finish they are running up to you guys to embrace you two. Yes God promises that you will without a doubt see your loved ones with again here on earth. And could you imagine having your first family feast togther with everyone's favorite dishes.
Notice what God promises soon will come at Psalms 37:11,"the meek will possess the earth and they will find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace." Yes you and your family will be able to live on the the earth forever. Really how can you enjoy an abundance of peace even peace of mind forever without the ones that complete you, yes, your family?
Here is are some amazing yet practical suggestions found in this Brochure entitled "When someone you love dies". It really helped my family and I. See for yourself...
