jan, phila: Dear Jan, I will add you to my prayer list. When I pray I visualize a waterfall in a beautiful valley in the Smokies. I put myself and those for whom I pray in the waterfall, with the water and the brilliant light going through all of us. I pray you will know you are not alone, and your fear will be lifted.

A very special young friend of mine who is like a son for me has been diagnosed with blood cancer today, but the survival rate is 70% so I have hope and I put my efforts into praying and good energies. He will prevail.

I miss my son who passed away sept 21st 2008 at only 26 years old. I ask why he was taken from me every day? I trust God had his reasons maybe not to suffer something even worse that may come to this earth. I still pray to see him again someday by the grace of God.

My dear friend just learned that his dad died four years ago. They'd been estranged for more than 14 years, but he always thought they would have a chance to talk down the road. How might he remember his dad and find peace? Does anyone have an idea for a tatoo that might express gratefulness for all the good memories? (My email is christineford@yahoo.com.) Thanks so much.

I grieve for absence of my missing/murdered daughter's remains. She has been gone 6 years now. I know she was killed but I can't give her a funeral because I can't find her remains. If I could only have just one finger...

I pray that my friend will heal and hope that you will join me in prayer to heal my friend. Long term illness can take its toll but G_d can heal if we pray. Help me pray please. Thank you

I grieve for my family. My time is near and I wish not to leave their sides. How grateful I am that I have this time to let them know how much I appreciate them and everything they have done for me while I have been ill. But most of all I wish to express to my love, lover, friend, husband how much I deeply appreciate and am truly grateful for all the good and sad moments that we shared together. I have learned through this life that out of everything terrible comes wonderful gifts. Thank you for the wonderful time we spent sharing, caring and loving one another. Thank you for being here. I will always love you.

I lost my husband of 33 years,3 months ago. I miss him terrible. I long for his touch, his voice and watching tv with him . He was my life. I promised him that I would go on living for our grandchildren, but it is not easy.God gave us 10 months to say goodbye which has made it easier. We celebrated each and everyday that we had. My love was able to get a book published by his extend family and friends. He always wanted to see his name in print. He did so, 3 months before he left me for a better place. We had just renewed our wedding vows before he opened his box of books. His message he left to everyone was To Love One Another. So we all carry on.

I am missing my parents terribly. I just lost my father after having lost my mother only one year ago. It feels so lonely and scary not to have them around anymore even though I am a grown woman. I know the Lord will carry me through this, but sometime the pain is such that it takes my breath away. Please pray for me.

I grieve for the loss of a great love in my life. A lover who thought I was judging her when all I was doing was reaching out for her. Iam hurt she didnt understand me. Iam hurt she has replaced me with another so quickly. I grieve for the dreams we had. For the love we shared (the best either of us has ever known) I grieve for the loss of her trust and the miscommunication. I grieve for the fact she will never give herself to me as she did when she loved me and trusted me. I grieve for the hole she has left in my heart and in my life

Grief can last for a long time, but with God's and Mary's help through prayer, some comfort, at least acceptance, will occurr. I just returned from PA. to visit my siblings and their families. I got to visit the gravesites of my loved ones. My mom and dad died within months of each other a few years ago, and the day after dad's funeral, my youngest brother suddenly died at 52. We still grieve, but the memories of them with the stories we retell keeps them so alive. They are alive, in Our Lord's presence. I miss them dearly, but this time I felt more at peace for them, and myself. God is listening to you.

I am grateful to each of you who have shared your heart on this message board. My husband of almost 30 years died suddenly in Aug 07 and my mother who had suffered from Parkinson's died 3 weeks later. Reading these messages makes me feel connected to all these others who are also suffering loss. This is the most challenging thing I have ever gone through, and I pray to God that my damaged heart will heal, and that we will all find peace and joy in life again.
