The grief is beyond description, and I know it will never completely end because they are my parents. I have experienced some dark and horrible experiences in my life, but nothing as dark as the shadow of death. Praise God that the light of Jesus can still shine in the darkness and nothing can extinguish it. I am a different person since my parents death, and I suspect I'll never be the same again. Thanks for sharing. I truly am sorry for your grief, but I do know God sees us, the darkness hasn't hidden us from his unfailing love.

I am sorry for what you are going through. No words can ever make you feel better, the pain, that grief is there, but I do believe that God will heal your broken heart. Grieving is awful and I do not wish anyone to go through it. I have grieved, I grieved for a relationship that died, I died too. The thing I hated most about grieving is that it was part of me, I couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, and even in the little time that I was able to fall asleep it was just memories that left me waking up in tears. I am sorry that you are hurting. I am sorry for your loss. You are strong and very courageous to put this out there, your story is serving as a message to others out there who are also grieving. God has used your grief to help others. God bless you always my dear.IamSuperMelskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06520028618905415680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055985957805570070.post-8059628784491751282015-07-21T17:42:53.298-05:002015-07-21T17:42:53.298-05:00Gina, THANK YOU for sharing your heart, for being ...Gina, THANK YOU for sharing your heart, for being vulnerable, for allowing us a window into your grief.

Everything you've said is so heartfelt and honest I can only begin to imagine how difficult it was for you to put this together and get it out there. My heart has hurt for you ever since I saw that Amy had passed into eternal life. This post shows that you are moving through your grief and that you are learning so much along the way. God is helping you through and I will continue to keep you in my prayers that He may continue to guide you and your beautiful family on this terrible but necessary journey.
