Over the weekend my Dad passed away. I got to spend his 2 last days with him. He really couldn’t talk. It was so very, very sad to watch him die. The grief and tears comes in waves. I ask the Lord what I should do. He wasn’t saved. God showed me what I need to say to him. I do believe in his last hours he did get saved. Funeral is tomorrow. Now both Mom and Dad are gone.

Debbie, my heart goes out to you, I lost my brother on Easter Sunday, both my parents are gone now too.

Prayers for you that God give you peace and rest in the days ahead.

Debbie,
I am so sorry. My step-dad passed away Feb 8 and my Mom Feb 26. All I can say is give yourself time to heal and take care of yourself. I’m going to grief counseling offered through hospice and that is helping me. I have several new friends at my Bible study at church that I have cried out to at times. Hang in there!
Love and prayers to you.
