This absolutely rings true! Literally everything becomes colored by our loss. It regrinds the lens we see everything through. It doesn't alter the past but it tends to alter our view of it......or our perception of it. It does alter our present, to varying degrees, and it undoubtedly impacts our future, again, in varying degrees. And yes, it can feel so very much alone. It is great that you're sharing your journey with us and making a positive impact for all of us reading your journal. It does make a difference in a very positive way! Your faith is contagious. I appreciate you!
Thank you so much. We are all helping each other deal with our enormous losses and grow in our faith. I often think of my post Overcome because it really did hit me that day the gift we have been given in what Jesus did for us. We get to KNOW we will see our kids again when we finally pass on ourselves. If it was through works, how could we know if either they or we were good enough to get there? It just helps knowing...
This was very heartbreaking to read. The mother’s word about being colored by her loss are so profound. I’m glad you have found comfort with these other families. I pray that you continue to receive the grace and strength and consolation from the Lord. Honestly, I feel your faith and trust in the Lord goes beyond what so many people would be able or willing to obtain. May God continue to bless your obedience and submission. I know He sees and loves your humble, servant heart. Your fruit is nourishment for those eager to rely upon the Lord.

Thanks Bellatrix. You've been with me from the beginning of this grief journal, and your encouragement has also kept me going many days.
I believe that we will be friends for all eternity, as we are sisters in Christ. Your unwavering faith has definitely made an impact on me.
Wow! Just maybe we will get to meet before eternity though!
I agree-we should all meet!
Oh definitely! Texas is beautiful in March and April……. And I think at least three of your followers live here!
