Gracious God, please comfort the sorrowful. When a loved one dies, it changes our lives so quickly. Help those who are living in grief to know your loving embrace. Teach them that the dear ones they miss are truly living in the joy and peace of your heavenly kingdom. And as the pain eases and the healing begins, give them the strength to reach out to help those who follow them. We ask this in the name of Jesus. AMEN

For pete’s sake, you do not look pathetic to us! You grieve in whatever way you need to, there is no right or wrong way and none of us here expect anything more out of you than you can give. As long as you don’t give up on life.

Thinking of you and I’m offering my back pain suffering up for you and your family today.

I hope you rested well Moe. Yesterday was hard I know. I kept remembering Our Chris and how he loved Halloween. It’s hard and we still have not been able to do the internment of his ashes due to his sister being in the hospital etc. Tomorrow it will be one month since the funeral.

I called on all of the Saints today to pray for you and for us…:hug1:
 
Good morning, Moe. I trust that you got through last night okay.
I just want to encourage you today to focus not on what you have lost here, but what McKayla has gained. On this All Saints Day, just think–she is in the presence of Jesus and all the Saints! That is where she is for all eternity. So “we do not grieve as others who have no hope.” We know that this life is just a short time compared to what lies ahead. I know how hard it is–you know I do. But I also know that it helps to keep our eyes on Jesus. It helps us to keep our losses in perspective. Today, just focus on where she is–and rejoice for her that she is truly home and more alive than ever she was on earth. You will be with her again forever someday. The older I get, the faster the time goes–trust me, it will be sooner than you think. In the meantime, be encouraged–we have this hope as an anchor for our soul.
Love, Alison

I won’t give up life — I want to be with McKayla when God calls me - not by my own doing … I need to be with her in eternity!

Thinking of you and I’m offering my back pain suffering up for you and your family today.

**Thank you my friend. I shall offer my mass up tonight for your back pain …

Thanks for the words of encouragement.

Love Moe**

I have been sleeping in late … not sure if I am just tired or just trying to hide from the world 😦

Yesterday was hard I know.

**It was terribly sad without her … we took Amanda out to a restaraunt of her choice (The Mileaway - Milford, NH) … We all just wanted to run away from our ‘first’ Halloween without her. Greg said the next time he will be trick or treating will be when he is a grand dad … **

I kept remembering Our Chris and how he loved Halloween. It’s hard and we still have not been able to do the internment of his ashes due to his sister being in the hospital etc. Tomorrow it will be one month since the funeral.

**Oh my friend I know how you feel - we were there almost 8 months ago. Throwing you a big hug and kiss and prayers … your way … how difficult life is - isn’t it? Just so overwhelmingly sad … **

I called on all of the Saints today to pray for you and for us…
**As I shall do as well - thank you.

Tomorrow night for ‘All Souls Day’ our parish will celebrate all the parishioners who have gone to eternal life … so that should be a pretty emotional Mass.

God Bless maggieodae … know that I am praying for you as well - for all of you. May God’s Angel lead the way for us.**

**Yes, quite remarkably we did … it was so hard Alison … but we did make it … and we were together the three of us … **

I just want to encourage you today to focus not on what you have lost here, but what McKayla has gained. On this All Saints Day, just think–she is in the presence of Jesus and all the Saints! That is where she is for all eternity. So “we do not grieve as others who have no hope.” We know that this life is just a short time compared to what lies ahead. I know how hard it is–you know I do. But I also know that it helps to keep our eyes on Jesus. It helps us to keep our losses in perspective.

Yes, we both grieve the loss of their children … and you are a few years ahead of me in this journey … I thank God for your presence in my life - to help me see that one day (although it certainly isn’t here) life will be good again and we will one day - feel happy. I can’t believe it will ever happen - but everyone tells me it WILL happen.

Today, just focus on where she is–and rejoice for her that she is truly home and more alive than ever she was on earth. You will be with her again forever someday. The older I get, the faster the time goes–trust me, it will be sooner than you think. In the meantime, be encouraged–we have this hope as an anchor for our soul.

**Yes, time marches on doesn’t it? I can’t believe it will be almost 8 months this month since we have held her. Gosh we miss her terribly.

But she is happy isn’t she Alison - and wants for nothing.

Thank you for being my cheerleader …

Loving you from NH**
Love, Alison

Not this time. I wouldn’t shut up long enough to hear him! But I’ll tell you about a time he has before.
It was the night my grandma died. I went to the chapel and just cried so much and I couldn’t stop. I offered my tears to Jesus. Still I just cried and cried. I started feeling bad for crying so much because afterall this was his will. So I said “I’m sorry for offering you selfish tears.”
Then he said more clearly the anything I’ve ever heard “No, they are not selfish tears. They are tears of love. You are crying not only for yourself but for love of your grandpa who must go on without her, your mother, your aunts and uncles, your children who will grow up without knowing her. Love is what I desire for the world. Love soothes my aching heart. Thank you for your tears of love.”
Then he gave me the most remarkable gift of peace. It was just un-earthly. Just thinking of that night gives me comfort in difficult times. I feel like that was the first time that I really knew Jesus and he knew me. You know?
Praying for your family and McKayla especially on this All Souls Day.

**That is so beautiful LoriK … so utterly beautiful.

Thanks for the prayers. I am getting ready to go for my daily walk. Tonight our parish celebrated ‘All Souls Day’ for all the parishioners who have passed away this year … a candle will be lit for each and everyone of them … I trust it will be beautiful - but very emotional. I am glad Jesus doesn’t think tears are selfish - because I would definately be the most selfish person in the world.

Greg just got with some great news …He has been promoted to Director of Purchasing and Planning … which is a very big deal. I am so proud of him … I am sure McKayla is as well.

Loving you LoriK … thanks for letting me in on that most wonderful story.

Love Moe**

Nope, not selfish at all. You cry because miss her, that’s not selfish, that’s loving her. No way one of the most selfish-maybe one of the most loving people the world. God will show you a lot more ways to love her when your ready.
God bless you, Moe.
And congratulations to Greg! Maybe McKayla’s up ther pulling some strings-she’s loving you right back!
