**Oh I will be … he keeps telling me it is a phase. When KK died, the first month he said he never felt closer to God — and I think it is because he received the Eurcharist twice … at KK’s last rites and at her funeral Mass … both priests new my husband wasn’t Catholic - but they said it was OK and that they hoped he would come in the church one day … he even went up for blessing a couple of months after … now he doesn’t think it is useful at all 😦 **

**Thank yo so much for the prayers … Greg was thinking about becoming Catholic - now it is far from his mind 😦 but I guess it is all in God’s timing right **

Maybe, just maybe, down the road when Greg is thinking more clearly, he will look back and remember that he was closest to God during that period of time and realize that it was because of the fact that he received the Eucharist…and maybe that will be God’s way of bringing him home. Don’t lose hope. This may be God’s plan. 😉

Hi Moe ❤️

First time on CAF since July i think… 😊

Just read what i had missed - thank you - you are a sweetheart. Through all your pain you still pray for other people. 🙂

Praying for You, Greg and Amanda to have the strength that you need to get you through this time and the Christmas season.

As always,
❤️

I’m up in the middle of the night, not able to sleep because of some worries on my mind, and I see you are on right now, Moe. You don’t know me but I’ve been checking on you and praying for you and your family since your daughter died. My son lost a friend to leukemia a little over a year ago. He had been sick for over a year and so everyone had a chance to say good bye to Andy before he died. With your situation, you must all be reeling with all kinds of emotions about losing her so quickly, without any warning. Give yourselves plenty of time to mourn and let each family member take their own time in grieving. Everyone deals with the death of loved ones in different ways. There’s no right way and no right time to feel a certain way. One day at a time is the only way to deal with it. I’m thinking it must be perfectly natural to feel anger at God and frustration with other people who don’t know exactly how you feel. I haven’t read every post but am wondering if your family has taken advantage of any grief support groups or camps. We have a couple of really good family camps for families who’ve lost children or parents in Iowa. I know you aren’t in Iowa but have you checked out any near you? These camps have helped our friends a lot. Just know that I pray for you often and hope that today is a better day for you. Love and prayers, Theresa
 
Dearest Moe,

First of all, thank you for remembering me and my family at Mass (your post on the 23d). We need it - BAD! I am still praying for you and your family. I wish things weren’t getting worse, but I can certainly understand why. Please hang in there. I know it’s extremely tough. There are so many posts/prayers for you on this site - it’s amazing how much love people have to go around!
Keeping you in my rosary and prayers always,

mom4truth

I have found the best job ever! I’ll be working part-time nights at a Catholic maternity home for unwed mothers.

Persevere, Moe. Your pain is still so new. You will be OK and so will Greg and Amanda. You all matter so much to God. You have to look for God’s hand. Even Our Lady had to look for His hand. The Bible says she pondered these things in her heart. Look, He’s all around.
God bless your family.

**Hi my friend - I know you have been praying … I count on it … my friend.

I hope you get a fun job … life is too short.

I will try … I find the rosary so unstimulating lately — I find praying sometimes just saddens me because I don’t think it matters what I pray for … because I don’t think it matters.

I need to hang in here for Greg and Amanda … but it is getting harder and harder … just, all of us, missing her desperately.

I have pictures of her monument - does anyone know how to put them on this site? Someone helped me before but I forgot who.

Her monument is beautiful.

Thanks LoriK … love, huggles from NH**

If you have a photo bucket account (free) you can up load them there. Then copy the image location {IMG]. Post here by clicking the square (yellow with mountain) and it will format it for you to this thread. Or, if you already have them on a website, you can right click on the picture, choose image location and do the above.

Maybe 😦 I won’t lose hope - I promise because I know everything is in God’s timing - whether we like it or not 😦

**Bless your heart - thank you from the bottom on my heart … truly I mean it **

My son lost a friend to leukemia a little over a year ago. He had been sick for over a year and so everyone had a chance to say good bye to Andy before he died. With your situation, you must all be reeling with all kinds of emotions about losing her so quickly, without any warning.

You send your beautiful child off to camp full expecting to pick her up in three days … it is still unimaginable that she isn’t with us physcially anymore. There are days I wake up and say - this has all been a dream … but then the reality of it all is - IT ISN’T 😦 The only good thing is we have NO REGRETS. Both our girls knew how much they were loved every day - many times a day.

Give yourselves plenty of time to mourn and let each family member take their own time in grieving. Everyone deals with the death of loved ones in different ways. There’s no right way and no right time to feel a certain way. One day at a time is the only way to deal with it. I’m thinking it must be perfectly natural to feel anger at God and frustration with other people who don’t know exactly how you feel.

We are all definately grieving in our own way - but the three of us respect how we grieve … which is a huge help.

I haven’t read every post but am wondering if your family has taken advantage of any grief support groups or camps. We have a couple of really good family camps for families who’ve lost children or parents in Iowa. I know you aren’t in Iowa but have you checked out any near you? These camps have helped our friends a lot.

**Not yet … right now we are too sad to handle our own sadness … I don’t think we could bare to hear more sadness. I speak with mom’s who have lost their children …and I am in contact with the Manchester NH Chapter Director of The Compassionate Friends … she has been wonderful. **

Just know that I pray for you often and hope that today is a better day for you. Love and prayers, Theresa

**Thanks Theresa - my middle name is THERESE … I shall send up some prayers for you and yours as well … thank you thank you thank you for reaching out!

Love, prayers, huggles and peace,

Moe

Dearest Moe,
You are NOT a burden! You were upermost in my thoughts at Mass this morning. I was asking Our Blessed Mother and Jesus to lessen your pain some.

Love!:gopray2:
 
Dearest Moe,
How are you coping? Does going to work help at all? How are Amanda and Greg coping?
Many prayers go up from this household just for you and your family.
Love,
Lissa

**Not coping too well … the pain is constant and the tears seems to be flowing all the time again. I have read things get worse before they get better.

Thank you for the prayers … you don’t know how greatful we are for all the prayers … they are what are sustaining us.

Love MOe**
