Hello my friend. I was just thinking about you. I think it's been over a month since you posted a video. Hope you're doing ok. Take care, Maria

Hello Maria, Thank you for even thinking about me. I know it's been a while since I have posted. I have had a lot of things,,, happen unexpectedly lately. One is i accidentally swallowed some lake water from nearby our cabin. I became very sick soon afterward . It took me a week to get over it . Parasites from the lake water may be the culprit. I had intended to complete a series of videos to upload at a later time, but I came home earlier than I planned to ride out the illness. I'm much better now and have learned a valuable lesson while diving underwater. Keep your mouth closed until you are sure you are not still under water. I will try to upload a new video soon. Hope you are doing well. God bless .....🙏🏻

Wow! I'm so sorry to hear that. Yeah it's not safe to get in lakes. They contain all kinds of organisms that can make you sick. Thank God you are feeling better. I'm doing well. I got the good news Sunday that my daughter is having a baby. She's married and has 2 girls. Ramona is 7 and Veronica turns 5 next month. I plan on helping her when she goes back to work. God Bless you my friend. Take care, Maria

Like you, I believe my husband is in heaven with none of those emotions etc like worry, anxiety, fear, confusion. He is just worshipping 100%.

I’m coming up on my one year anniversary of Kim’s death. I’m dreading it. Especially after reading comments from grievers talking about the second year and how much worse it is. That really depressed me but it’s all in Gods hands. I am still just taking it one day or one hour at a time, just praying to get through
@lenandcindypresley....48307 күн бұрын
Yes, my friend, these new special dates on a calendar, once unknown, did become a mountain of anxiety and dread looming in the distance for me. I certainly do get it. The 1st was the hardest, at least I think it was. Grief has shaded and twisted my memory of these dates to protect my well-being, I believe. Survival systems in our broken lives begin to activate, and you start to heal your traumatized body, soul, and spirit. It is all by design, from a sovereign loving Father God. The second year was not as difficult for me as the 1st. In fact, the 1st of everything was a trial of willingness to move forward or remain in the shadows of a darkness that enveloped everything where the light of life once existed . I don't think I would have survived those early days. Had I not had a true belief in the faith I once took for granted. I have learned thru all of my journey in many years of grief to understand and accept my life as a gift from God, and I wasn't guaranteed totally happiness throughout my time here on earth. I'm thankful for the blessings of those special moments in my life that have given me the good memories that now sustain and help heal my brokenness. A life without hope is no life at all. Hope for a reunion in a new heaven and earth is what I long for on a daily basis. I miss my dear wife every day, but I know I will see her and hold her once more. Maybe soon. In the meantime, I will do what I believe is the best way to continue this journey with my steps aligned by the Spirit of the awesome God who lives in me, through his promises written in His Word. One day, we will all cross over the river to the side that has been hidden from our view. My prayers for you and many others are for the peace and guidance of our Dear Creator God to carry you through this terrible grief journey and show you His eternal Love in Christ Jesus. Nothing else matters in the end. God bless you and yours.... You can do this....💪🙏🏻

I still miss my wife of 53 years, but I will be with her again soon. Looking forward to Heaven instead of the past sustains me. Wishing you Peace & Comfort.

I lost my wonderful Cristina two months and three days ago. We'd been married for 33 years, we both retired a year ago and had celebrated her 52nd birthday 6 days before she passed away, unexpectedly. How could I have known our last hug and kiss would truly be our last? No goodbye. Not a, "Real" goodbye, anyway. My existence is a foggy daze now. She is undoubtedly with or Lord, Jesus, and I know I will see her again. Currently, that knowledge and my complete reliance on God's grace and mercy are my greatest support. Thank you for sharing your journey, Len. May Jesus continue to give you peace and strength.

Len, I lost my husband just 6 weeks ago and also to cancer. He suffered terribly and for months we fought it. 33 years and I miss him with all my heart , BUT please , rest in the LORD , and try to stop focusing only on her death but celebrate the gift she gave you, She spent her whole life with you. Grief doesnt go away , its a full time job , but we need to get stronger and yes you can cry and smile too. She is with you , and you will be reunited. Hold on to hope and try and smile. Don't be sad because its over smile because t was. She still loves you so much. And I can never imagine anyone else in my life...my husband is always my husband is still my husband he just took an earlier flight. They have left the things of this world behind the bible says , so we must know they are happy and we are the ones suffering. Wishing you peace and comfort. I am struggling too , so many of us are.

Thank you for your encouraging comments. I appreciate what you are saying so much. I am certainly doing better than i was in the beginning . It is just so different now. You are still very new to this journey, but you have a greater positive attitude than I did at that time. One thing I have found to be true is that grief never follows a rule book. I have had good days and weeks only to fall back to lonely emptiness once more. It can last for months . It is not the same for everyone. I trust in God and know that His will will be done, But even so, I struggle with my own worst enemy, myself. I always seem to get in the way of having the blessings of the Lord comfort and guide me. I have much to learn yet. God bless , My friend 🕊🙏🏻

I'm happy to hear you believe he is heaven and that you will see him again. Where would be without hope, how would we even live without that blessed hope. I can only imagine what it will be like in heaven , few can. But it will be beyond our beliefs. Hold that hope tightly, Wanda, as I'm sure you do. We have many great memories to sustain us and the love of God to carry us through, till that day, come what may. God bless you and keep you Closer each day.🕊❤️

I'm a child in Christ, but since i lost my mother i am trying to grow in faith every day. Take care always and hope you find happiness and joy. God bless you always.

You and I are at about the same place time wise. It has been an emotional roller-coaster for sure, and it still goes on , but not as intense as first was. I'm glad you have family. That is a big help , but the best help for me and us is Jesus, I believe. May God bring you peace and guidance in all your unexpected decisions you must make . It is never easy to do these alone now. But Jesus will help you, Prayed for you 🙏🏻🕊🤍

Oh my gosh, Len, this was amazing. I just discovered you and subscribed. This road trip is just beautiful and love the music it fits perfectly, however I think you touched on it without our sweethearts nothing taste the same if you know what I mean. I have seen many other KZbinrs channel’s about grieving the loss of a spouse and none can compare with how and what you share the wisdom you impart to those who are suffering is deep. It is evident how very much you love Cindy. It is all true and the pain is just how you describe it. It is gut wrenching. It feels like an amputation. I am going into my 7th year and it feels like just one long year except when I stop to break it down year by year. God bless you and thank you for caring enough to share your grief journey. We never get over it because we were one and our lives are filled with memories of our spouses each and every moment and day but we do grow with it with the Lord’s tender care. May the Lord continue to pour His love into your heart ❤️🩹 as you continue on this sacred journey. You have such a powerful purpose here. Way down in Fort Worth, Texas ✝️Carmen

Speaking as a man who lost the woman he loved dearly for 48 years this last Easter Sunday morning. As a couple you have to bear up, realize you were blessed and don't cave in to the grief....I talk to my wife often but i realize she is NOT coming back, we had a miraculous relationship with great adventures...all committed to our sacred book of memory , but stand firm with your sadness because it will always be there but hopefully the joy of having given each other the precious gift of being there for those years for that person. Having fulfilled your vows. Memory is what you have now so cherish it and be as active and creative as you can.

Memories will still live but may fade as the clock continues to tick away. They keep me from sinking deeply in a sadness that has never left me totally. My hope now is to make a new life without the old one, keeping me stationary and indecisive in my everyday affairs. I have to rely on my faith to always be my guide and my closest friend.
