Wail

Posted by MamaBren in Untagged

It has been two weeks and two days since Tom passed away. I can't believe it. I still feel so numb. However, there have been times when this raw, seithing feeling surfaces on my heart that is absolutely unbearable. It brings me to my knees. All I can do is cry out to God to comfort my broken heart. I can feel God's hand upon me and I know He hears me, but I still have to wait for the healing. This is when I rest in His care and be still. I hear my wail of dispair and almost think it isn't mine. I've never heard it before. Even when I'm praying and pleading at the altar at church, it doesn't sound like this. It's moaning, groaning, and whining. But I know God understands what the noise is telling Him. It's telling him I miss my best friend, my most trusted confidant, my lover, my comedian, my life.

Hello, it's been just a little over one year for me, and I can tell you that, while life will never be the same, it can be ok. God is ever faithful - he has brought me through this far, some days are easier than others even now, but I can say that He is teaching me every day to lean on Him. For the past year I have been standing on the promise in Isaiah41:10 "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." May it bring you comfort too. Hold on to your memories and keep putting one foot in front of the other. It is different for everyone and you will have ups and downs, but you will come through. One morning you will wake up and your loss will not the the very first thing you think about and it will take you by surprise. You will feel good, and then you will feel sad in a way. But it is God working in your heart and soul to help you heal. God bless you!
