Thank you! I've been in grief for 17 years over my husband's passing that wasn't expected. I tried every Help in my church but hearing everyone else's loss caused me to cry for them also. I now put Off the Spirit of Grief and Take On the Spirit of the Joy Of The LORD ! Jesus is my Savior. AMEN 🙏😂✝️

I lost a little baby who was just 9 weeks old at the time. I thought he just died and was gone. Many years later I was at an Agliw meeting and God placed the spirit of my little child in my arms during praise and worship. I couldn't see him but he was there in my arms for about 2 or 3 songs. I hugged him and whispered words to him that only he would understand..Thank you for your stories.

I'm so sorry for your huge loss. We too lost a daughter to a brain tumor. she was 45 yrs old... healthy girl all her life... so when we got the diagnosis our daughter had a Glioblastoma, we were just blown away. She had 2 resections, she survived 5 yrs which was a miracle. many prayers went up for our daughter. She was a miracle as well. Our faith sustained us, because this was the toughest trial but our Lord Jesus and family and friends walked through this storm with us. HE gave us a Peace that passed all our understanding!

I am bless that I do have a relationship with Father God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. They are why I am still alive today. I love the Lord he has never left my side. He has kept his promises to me. Healing has come in so many areas of my life. I went through the grief by myself and with God. I was separated from friends and family. It was all God. Amen and Amen. Hallelujah, Praise the Lord.

My young husband passed of Glioblastoma. 5 years IS a miracle for the beast. Michael was here for 12 months. Thank you SO much for calling it what it is. The word, Glioblastoma, needs to be known. As you know, there have been zero advancements in a cure. I’ve now heard parasites may be a cause. I’d like to “chat” if you’re up to it. Losing a spouse is horrible but , in my opinion, I don’t belong in your category of loss. Blessings, sister in Christ. Natalie

I lost my husband last year August 23rd due to Covid 19, I still have not come to terms with his passing on. i never even had time to process my feelings & grief because immediately, my twin sister became sick with excruciating pains all over her body, bring imbalances in her body, raisng blood pressure, sugar level, this & that but no proper diagnosis even up to now. thru this testimony, I see the gaps of grieving that need attention. I also pray to come to terms that my husband is in my future, I feel I need him more. But He is with his Master, I let go. Peace

[@lynny5510]

I lost my husband last Nov 22, 2021 to covid related pneumonia. We were only 54 yrs old. I still cannot believe he is not here with me. I did not expect this and it happened so quickly. I still cry every single day. I am struggling so hard to accept that he is not here. I know I will be with him again when I go home to be with the Lord too but that doesn't help me feel any better while I am still here. I feel like you. I feel that I need him here but I know God called him home and that he is happy and will never be sad again. I am learning to trust in God for all things. Sometimes I think I can't make it though the day but I keep remembering what my husband always said to me and that was this....."don't worry and just keep your eyes on Jesus and all is well." I will keep you in my prayers. God bless you my friend.

Cheryl’s testimony over the years about Gabrielle’s story, grief, etc has given GOD so much GLORY! She is a must listen to by anyone who dealt with loss of a loved one, ESPECIALLY dedicated believers who had been fully trusting God for a healing. God has specially anointed her and Harry to minister about this. 🙌🏻🙌🏻💕💕🔥🔥

[@lookup2one]

Back in 2001, I had lost my baby brother in January then my dad in April. I was devastated to say the least. They were the first closest loved one's I had lost. The Salem family came to our church in Texas the same year, and Cheryl spoke of Gabrielle's death and how the Holy Spirit told her that Gabrielle was no longer in her past, but she is now in her future. Those were the very words I needed to hear, and it helped me immensely, as I felt I had a death wish on me! My brothers death was a total shock, he just died in his sleep at 36 years. We were the two youngest of 8 children and were very close. Those few words Cheryl spoke gave me hope, and helped me realize that my family is now in my future! Thank you Joni and Cheryl! God is good all the time!

[@marlenenicholl6825]

Yes Joni, that is exactly how we are to handle grief - while on earth we talk and sing about our heavenly home and about one day spending eternity with Jesus - we never want to loose a loved one, but when we know they are with the Lord, in that place we talked and sang about for years, then all is well - it is what they wanted and when we stop thinking about what we want, then the peace that knows no understanding comes over us - we know we will see them again - let go and let God reign in our lives until He calls us home

[@grundiallenphd75]

[@linntuttle]

I lost my 30 year old son nearly 18 years ago and was devastated by his death. He had gone hunting and did not come home that evening. His wife was pregnant with their second son at that time. I watched my 3 year old grandson while everyone was searching the mountains of Colorado for him. They found his car after the first day so then they gathered up a search party. After 8 days they called off the search party but so many volunteers would not give up and 10 days passed till they found him. His gun discharged when he crossed over a tree log and was shot in the chest. My prayers were that he be found, always thinking he was injured in some way. I preyed for angles to protect him because there are bears and mountain lions up there! It was a mild winter that year and the ground was free of snow still. After 10 days he was found! The ranger up there told us he was found deceased. I made him say the words though because I was believing for him to be protected! He was found whole! Besides his face was scratched where he fell by a tree and his chest wound, no animal touched him. It was the last day of January so cold enough to preserve him. His second son was born in June the same year he disappeared. God answered my prayer, seeing to it he was not consumed by wild animals while laying there alone for 10 days. My prayer was that he was found whole after all that time. I miss him every day, and I know, God is good, all the time and all the time, God is good! 💗🙏🏻

Thank you so much for this program. God knew that I needed it! My daughter’s husband died seven months ago from Glioblastoma brain cancer after four months of devastating struggle. When I hear the prophets share that God is going to restore our lives, I keep telling the Lord that my life can never be restored until He brings Eric back from Heaven to be with Jami. I believe that God can bring back life from Eric’s ashes, yet I feel guilty asking that Eric would need to leave Heaven to heal Jami’s broken heart. It is so hard as a mom to see her life shattered! I know that I need to let go, and let God’s will be done.😢❤

But God covered me and my living daughter. God has never left me nor forsaken me. I thank god everyday and know my daughter who left this world 🌎 is with god.

Thank you Joni for inviting Cheryl Salem to your show. I too, have a son who went to be with Jesus last December 30, 2021 because of Covid. I was just asking God to take me home too because of unbearable pain. Listening to her testimony of going to heaven and hearing what Jesus told her about being “disobedient” changed my mind. I asked for forgiveness right away. I know that I will see my son again in heaven. By the way, I’m praying to Jesus to invite me to visit my son in heaven, (not to die) to hug him and say goodbye. I want to hear my son call me “mom” one last time. Thank you for reading this.

[@sirtedricwalker2979]

God allowed my son to visit me in a dream/vision 4 years after he died. I didnt understand why my family were able to have him visit them but not me. I now realize that l had to work thru my grief and wasn't ready till 4 years. I felt my son hug me which was one of the best feelings I had when he was here on earth. My son also gave me a message that heaven is more wonderful than I could fathom and to make sure I obey God's WORD.

[@GritHappens]

The "Word of Faith" movement adds to depression BECAUSE it puts the focus on YOU BELIEVING GOD for a miracle. Cheryl and her husband were steeped n this doctrine due to Oral Roberts ministry and Rhema. The Word of Faith movement has harmed more people when it comes to healing, WOF MOVEMENT is just not biblical. It's very hard to watch someone go through this. I know, I myself went through it. I'm grateful I knew enough of truth that sets free according to God's word that I didn't have to worry or focus on the fact of having enough faith to believe.
