WHEN A LOVED ONE DIES

Have you lost a loved one in death? The pain, the grief, and the feelings of helplessness can seem unbearable. At such times, we need to go to God’s Word for comfort. (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4) The Bible helps us to understand how Jehovah and Jesus feel about death. Jesus, who perfectly reflected his Father, knew the pain of losing someone in death. (John 14:9) When he was in Jerusalem, Jesus used to visit Lazarus and his sisters, Mary and Martha, who lived in the nearby town of Bethany. They became close friends. The Bible says: “Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.” (John 11:5) Though, Lazarus died.  How did Jesus feel about losing his friend? The account tells us that Jesus joined Lazarus’ relatives and friends as they grieved over this loss. Seeing them, Jesus was deeply moved. He “groaned in the spirit and became troubled.” Then, the account says, “Jesus gave way to tears.” (John 11:33, 35) Did Jesus’ grief mean that he had no hope? Not at all. In fact, Jesus knew that something wonderful was about to happen. (John 11:3, 4) Still, he felt the pain and sorrow that death brings.  In a way, Jesus’ grief is encouraging to us. It teaches us that Jesus and his Father, Jehovah, hate death. But Jehovah God is able to fight and overcome that enemy! Let us see what God enabled Jesus to do.

My crying anniversary is
Every year since you've
Went away that cold
Dark night and it's

There's never a day
That goes by that
My heart doesn't ache
Or cry out for

You and when our
Anniversary comes around I
Get so lonley and
Blue for your sweet

Voice and your soft
Caress and those precious
Blue eyes that use
To look at me but

My crying anniversary will
Always be sad and lonely
Without my one and
Only precious Junebug .

This unfinished sympathy will
Not go away from
My heart from
My heart 'cause this
Pain that I carry

Deep in my heart
From you being ripped
From my life that
One cold dark night

But why was you
taken from me I
Never asked for this
Kind of pain that

Lives deep in my
Heart I hide this
From the world so
No one will have

To feel this unfinished
Sympathy that will always
Live in my heart
And mind to make
My soul restless for eternity.

Oh how my world
Crashed down on me
When you left my
World on that dark

Dreadful night and
How my heart crashed and
Burned when I realized
That I will never

See those baby blue
Eyes ever again except
For when I look
At your pictures that

I have on the wall
And how my world
Crashed when I put
Flowers on your grave

To let you know
That I will never
Ever stop loving you
Or ever forget you in my heart & soul.

I came across your yahoo 360 page and it led me to the myspace and eventually here.  You have done a very beautiful job in creating these pages to honor your late husband, they all brought tears to my eyes.  Although I do not know the situation or circumstances involved, I do know this...the people that are causing you such grief should try putting themselves in your shoes.  People respond differently when tragic events happen and until they have walked in your shoes and dealt with the things you dealt with, they should keep their mouth shut. 

I pray this passage helps you through your depression.  God bless you and your family, know that I am praying for you!

Psalm 69:1-3, 14-16 "Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul. I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me. I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God. Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters. Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me. Hear me, O Lord; for thy loving-kindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies."

"Long, Long Way To Go"

You held my hand and then you slipped away
And I may never see your face again
So tell me how do to fill emptiness inside
Without love, What is life?

And anyone who knew us both can see
We always we're are the better part of me
I never wanted to be this free
All this pain, Does it go away?

Then every time I turn around
And you're nowhere to be found
I know I got a long, Long way to go
Before I can say goodbye to you
Oh, I got a long, Long way I know
Before I can say goodbye to all I ever knew
To you, To you

From memory, There is no hiding place
Turn on the TV and I see you there
In every crowd there's always someone with your face
Everywhere, Trying not to care

Then every time I turn around
And you're nowhere to be found
I know I got a long, Long way to go
Before I can say goodbye to you
Oh, I got a long, Long way I know
Before I can say goodbye to all I ever knew

To you, I wish you everythin'
And all the best that life can bring
I only hope you think of me somtimes, Oh
And even though I feel the pain
I know that I will love again
The time will come, And I'll move on

I got a long, Long way to go
Before I can say goodbye to you
Oh, I got a long, Long way to go, Got a long way I know
Before I can say goodbye, Before I say goodbye
To all I ever knew, To all I ever knew
I got a long, I got a long, Long way to go, Long way to go
Before I can say, Before I say, Goodbye to you
Say goodbye, Say goodbye
Oh, I got a long, Long way way I know
Before I can say goodbye to all I ever knew
Girl, I wish you the best I know, Oh and all of the rest, To you
I got a long, Long way to go
Before I can say goodbye to you.

On an icy road one night
A young man loses his life
They marked the shoulder with a cross
An' his family gathers round
On a piece of Hallowed ground
Their hearts are heavy with their loss
As the tears fall from their eyes
There's one who'll always sympathise.

God only cries for the living
'Cause it's the living that are left to carry on
An' all the angels up in Heaven
They're not grieving because they're gone
There's a smile on their faces
'Cause they're in a better place than, mmm, baby, than, oh
God only cries for the living
'Cause it's the living that are so far from home.

It still makes me sad
When I think of my Grand-dad
I miss him each and every day
But I know the time will come
When my own gradnson
Wonders why I went away
Maybe we're not meant to understand
Till we meet up in the Promised Land.

God only cries for the living
'Cause it's the living that are left to carry on
And all the angels up in Heaven
They're not grieving because they're gone
There's a smile on their faces
'Cause they're in a better place than, oh, baby, than oh
God only cries for the living
'Cause it's the living that are so far from home
Yeah, we're so far from home, Mmmm, Mmmm

Well, my day started out good until I went outside in the backyard to clean the battery post of my late husband's car. It tried to start up, but of course nothing goes my way when I want it to. Then to top that off I almost burnt up the battery cable wire put it on the wrong post... but I caught that in time thank god for that. Then I took his cb wires off the cables, and started to put them up, and I just broke down and started crying bad. Why I did that I have no idea, but it felt like I ripped him out of my life. It felt like the night he left my world, but I just stood there and cried like crazy, and I just couldn't let go of the wires for some reason. Then I come back in my house to get my laundry when something caught my eye. Well my female dog had her puppies last week and had 2 girls and 2 boys, well needless to say I was looking at one of the boys and I noticed it was dead. Oh that just crushed me bad, but those puppies was just fine yesterday, and last night before I went to bed. The only thing I can figure out is that the momma must have laid on it by accident and smothered it not meaning to. Oh God I just started crying again, I swear this is just a sucky  year for me, and it just keeps getting worser for me. Everytime I turn around someone or something is dying around me. I burried my Junebug in january, then in feb I lost my grandma, and 2 mos later I find out some's daughter killed herself, and then 2 mos after that one of my husband's friend passed away, and then 2 mos after that my mom's friend mom passed away, and then the next month my dad's best friend passed away, and then after that my parents long time friend's husband passed away, and just now one of my dogs  puppies died.  Like I say it's nothing but a  death year for me. I'm about to throw my hands up in the air and just say Forget it!  But I'm holding it together cuz I know that's what my Junebug would want me to do, and plus I love my boys more than life itself. So I know I'm gonna be crying off and on all day today....Junebug I just wish u was here to hold me in your arms and tell it's gonna be okay. I know ur here with me all the time cuz I can feel u around me. I know ur not gonna leave my side again, I know you're still worrying about me, but I just hurt so bad of not having you around me I just wish I could have changed that terrible night if I could back in time I would change everything leading up to u leaving us the way u did. I just close my eyes and I can just see you lying there  and not moving  oh that just hurts me to picture you like that...I just can't get that out of my head for nothing. I can't even go under the kitchen table for nothing. But I know ur here, and I have felt you holding me, and caressing me at times tolet me know ur here and that it's gonna be alright. Well, Junebug keep being here for me Cuz I don't know how much longer I can be strong for everyone and keep it together. Love ya Junebug and miss you so much that my heart cries out for you each pasing minute of the day.  You'll never know how much I love you and miss you, and hurt, but I'm sure you know and it just hurts you to see me like this, but I will keep my head up as high as I can for you, and keep it together for now, cuz I know that's what u told me to do at one time if something ever happened to you...love ya Junebug and keep watching over me an dthe boys, and letting me know ur here for me.

Love you dad, and Me and Nick sure do miss you alot wish u was here to help mom thru this pain she goes thru everyday of not having you around, and with grandma and aunt cissye giving her heartaches about you and everything else. Just wish they would leave her alone, and who ever else makes her hurt and sad. She's being strong like you wanted her to be, and she's doing her best at rasing us. She gives her best and all that she does to keep us on our toes. Love you dad and your memory will stay alive with me and nick cuz there's no other dad like you in the world your the best dad in the world and always will be. Love you and miss you dad.

Well Junebug I was on here this morning,and I started crying like crazy, and I had to go outside just to get myself calmed down from hearing your voice. Usually when I come on here it don't bother me, but it did for some reason. That's the first time ever, and just like last night around 2:00 - 2:30 am  I sat staright up in bed because it sounded like you was calling my name out, and I got up from the bed and walked in the living room, and looked and also looked in the kitchen also, but then I went back to bed but I kept waking up every 2-3 hours after that. I don't know if your trying to tell me something or trying to get thru to me about something. I hope it's nothing bad, or just maybe you're just worried about me for some reason, and I know you've been here in the house because you keep knocking things off the tv system, and I also feel you like I did today. I know I was out to the cementry saturday checking up on your headstone, but when I got there somebody has been out there visiting you,and of course some pictures was mysteriously was knocked over and the dirt cloggs was removed so they could get blown away, which was the pictures that was messed with was the one of me and you,and you and rich. Now that wasn't right people need to leave things alone on your headstone period. That's there for you and not to being tacky. It's to remember you and pay respect to you, not to mess with your personal things on there. That's okay they keep on and I'll put a stop to it, because I've had enough of that once and for all. It was bad enough to have the site taken away because of childish actions that can't stand the fact that I loved you very mcuh and other people did too besides other rude and tacky people that can't face the facts you did love us also. But that's okay I have a life to live for me and the boys and to remember you the right way and not to disrespect you the way others have done. I love you and miss you very much and I know I did the right thing of shutting certain people out of mine and the boys lives we need to heal the right way not to be hurting anymore. Love ya Junebug and always will no mater what anyone says because we had a love that was unbreakable and it will carry on for eternity..love ya Junebug and I'll see you on the other side when it's my time, and I know you'll be there waiting for me to hold me once more....love you.
