The Death of a Spouse Changes your Perspective of What's Important

In this video, I discuss how your perspective of looking at things changes after watching your spouse die. My wife died last year after getting the flu and it turned into Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, or ARDS.

Hi Harold, I read your post --I lost my wife too (19 months ago). Your would think about now I'd be over it. But for me, I agree with you that it is difficult to start over again - but mostly I've discovered that she cannot be replaced--so I guess it's going to be while to find someone to replace her. At least, that's how I feel. My sympathy and compassion for you. I'm sorry for your loss.

How are you Herold? How are your wounds? My girlfriend is dying of bone and brain cancer, and I cant stop thinking about the horrors of my life and suicide.

[@Roadglide131]

You are probably tired of hearing the I’m sorry already. I lost my wife of 25 years suddenly almost 6 months ago. This will probably be the hardest time of your life. I get through by praying to Jesus Christ my lord and savior often. I would also encourage you to read the book Imagine Heaven. It has helped somewhat. I will keep you in my prayers. I love you!

I lost my wife and daughter due to covid this October 4, 2020 she is 6 months pregnant for our first baby we've been together for 8 years, we just got married last June everything seems to be going well this year until this happened! The pain is killing me everyday, I've lost my purpose in life she is the one who always motivates me to do best with everything, I've worked hard to make sure that I can provide everything that they need but all of this is nothing without them! God knows I love them more than everything! I'm not sure if I can survive this, no one understands the pain that ive been going through everyday! Life is hard!

Jesus is the only One that can heal your heart and give you a peace and comfort that nothing in this world can give you. Please read my best friend's story. She explains how you can get true peace. God bless you. Precious Memories-By Sonya Lakey Family Story Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day. My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening. That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are. Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you. His Story Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23) “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12) He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell. “For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price] “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8) Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, but He arose the third day, triumphant over sin, death, and Hell. Jesus is alive today! “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b) Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour! “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28) Your Story What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day - What if you were to die today? Where will you spend eternity - Heaven or the Lake of Fire? There will not be any parties in the Lake of Fire. It is a place of eternal torment for those who reject God's Son. The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) We did not know that Ethan would step into eternity that day; however, because he put his faith in Jesus alone for his salvation, Ethan was ready to go. Some day - perhaps today - you will take your last breath here on earth, and you will step into eternity. Where you spend eternity is determined by what you do with Jesus Christ. Will you accept Him or reject Him? You are not promised another day or another breath. Eternity begins soon - Are you ready? “...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31b) “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “(...behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2c) ****************************** This testimony has been made into a gospel tract.

I lost my wife just recently mate , and im truly sorry im going crazy too yet brother i hope we can find god and peace i just cant right now

[@IMiteBeWrong]

I lost my wife a week ago after she had almost completely recovered from a major transplant surgery. She fought so hard and bravely, and then in an instant she was gone from what was likely a blood clot going to her heart. I feel so lost and confused, and trying to pick up the pieces is very daunting. She was 41. The worst part of this grief is me worrying about whether or not she is okay.. That final moment I was with her before she passed was so traumatic, giving her emergency aid and being unable to save her no matter how hard I tried made me feel so powerless. I want to know that she wasn't scared, and I want to know that she is alright now. It's something I need to process, and I hope with time I will feel at peace with her passing. Sharing this on a KZbin comment somehow helps me process these feelings a little, even if nobody reads it. I loved her so much.

[@sunshine9122]

I'm so sorry for the loss of your wife, Mite. I suffered from blood clots in my lungs after surgery. At the time, I didn't realize how serious it was, but my husband later confessed to me that he was terrified that I was going to die. He said if I hadn't survived, he would have just curled up into the fetal position and cried until he died. Fast forward three years later, I found myself wanting to curl up into the fetal position and dying myself because my husband died suddenly, unexpectedly, and tragically at age 38. He was the love of my life and my soul mate. No one will ever love, care for, protect, cherish, appreciate, or adore me the way he did. Thank you for reading.❤

[@IMiteBeWrong]

@@sunshine9122 Thanks for the reply, I can absolutely relate the feeling you have. It's is 9 months to the day since I lost my wife. They say time heals all wounds, which I have found to be only partially accurate thus far; you do adapt and get used to the new routine of living your life solo, however, the gaping hole is still there. Time has dulled the pain, but I have days where I find myself missing her more than ever. I'm 37, and while my future is bright in many ways, similar to you I feel I will never find someone who could ever love, care for, and adore me the way she did.

[@mistymoseley2340]

My husband committed suicide on 6/5. Everything is bullshit except the love the good times. Our feet on each others feet at night. He hung himself in the backyard tree. No one wants to talk about it. I don’t want to talk to anyone about it I feel like a child throwing a tantrum in the floor on the inside knowing it will change nothing. I have to say out loud to myself throughout the day. You are here in this moment. I cannot relate with people the same way. It’s like the inside of all my cells have been scooped out. I used to be a spitfire now I dare not have ego with anyone. It’s like wearing a cinder lock hat.

Thanks for posting these. I just lost my wife yesterday and I find videos like this helpful, knowing how others deal with it. I don't think anyone can fully understand how it is to lose a husband or wife, especially if you had a good marriage as I did (we said "I love you" to each other several times a day, and in fact, that was her last words to me). I'm struggling to be positive and not get overwhelmed with grief... to balance things, but it's not easy. I think keeping myself busy, finding something to do each day will help. I dread having to go through her things. I still don't know how I'm going to be able to go on without her. We were married 36 years, known each other for 39. I've been praying to God a lot for help, comfort and guidance.

My wife of 48 years died less than two weeks ago. All of a sudden, I find myself alone in a house we made together, confined to a wheelchair. I really can't find any reason to continue. Our children are all grown and moved away. I guess I'm supposed to just throw all her stuff away. I can't do that yet. I know she's gone, but the change is so abrupt it's been hard for me to adapt. I've reached for the phone dozens of times to give her a quick call to tell her some trivial thing, which is what we used to do. I imagine her voice all day long. Living just to exist is no life at all.

I know it'll get better but I'm not gonna suppress my emotions. When sadness comes I'll let it. When I'm feeling ok I'll make the most of it.

Dear " brother". I am walking in the same shoes. My beloved wife ( who was my only love in my life, and I am totally alone again, like before her) had the " big transition " about a year ego, also from pancreatic cancer. The brain cancer took her finally. She suffered a lot with lung cancer also. 3 main things that is real help, and final solution for our most difficult human experience: I know she is " there" and " well" right now. ( she sent me four different messages from the " other side " since she moved there) 2, : we are together even now in a mysterious way, we belong to each other beyond time, so right now also. 3, : when I will have to have the transition from this lifeform, I will be with her again in a more and improved reality , to improve our relationship, and continue to have even better experiences together. One of the sign- message from her ( or from other good powers , about us. Since I can't be sure, who arranged this mysterious sign about us...??l) ---- was not my personal experience, --- so nobody can say : " Joseph you just imagine this " supernatural " sign. The messages was with my Uber and Lyft roots. That's nothing with me. This sign could not be just a coincidence, especially beacouse 4 other side- factors came with it, that proves, this is not just a coincidence. Little too long to tell you in details, what is happened that day. ( that day was the second month 60 day enniversary of her passing.(from this life). I wish if my experience helps to others, since we are all brothers and sisters.... on this planet. --- Joe

Keith Gourley. Know how you feel. Lost my hubby of 37 yrs to colon cancer 16 June 2020. Nursed him thru covid & was with him when he passed at home. The loneliness is gut-wrenching but have decided to be there for our 2 grown-up sons. Having friends help. Love from Cape Town South Africa.

@@fillyhart4222 Jesus is the only One that can heal your heart and give you a peace and comfort that nothing in this world can give you. Please read my best friend's story. She explains how you can get true peace. God bless you. Precious Memories-By Sonya Lakey Family Story Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day. My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening. That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are. Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you. His Story Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23) “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12) He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell. “For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price] “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8) Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, but He arose the third day, triumphant over sin, death, and Hell. Jesus is alive today! “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b) Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour! “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28) Your Story What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day - What if you were to die today? Where will you spend eternity - Heaven or the Lake of Fire? There will not be any parties in the Lake of Fire. It is a place of eternal torment for those who reject God's Son. The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) We did not know that Ethan would step into eternity that day; however, because he put his faith in Jesus alone for his salvation, Ethan was ready to go. Some day - perhaps today - you will take your last breath here on earth, and you will step into eternity. Where you spend eternity is determined by what you do with Jesus Christ. Will you accept Him or reject Him? You are not promised another day or another breath. Eternity begins soon - Are you ready? “...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31b) “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “(...behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2c) ****************************** This testimony has been made into a gospel tract.

You are doing a great thing....but I see this was 4 yrs ago. Still, I saw your video on YT and wanted to see what you would say. I know that men grieve differently than women....they tend to want to DO something, which is understandable and awesome, but thanks for doing this message........wow! it's great that you live in the present....I practice that too. It's amazing that you and your former wife are helping each other. I would say you have some unusual circumstances now. Who knows how God will move in both your lives? I think it's great how natural and openly you have talked about your grief. Blessings!

[@uksteelcityredleg3852]

A wound that never heals it seems. I lost my precious wife ten years ago and still it hurts. We were young together and made a life with one another. Seventeen years gone in the time it takes for an automobile accident to take place. Telling your 10 year old son that his mother is gone is still blazed into my mind. Time has went by, there has been some laughs during that time, but she stays in the back of my mind always. I just took some old pictures out to remember her beauty. I have so much video that I still can’t watch of our family and friends together. The memories are haunting.

[@flannelcoffeejunkie]

Amen!! You need to keep making videos on how you’re dealing with the grief. Widows need this.

[@JoshuaLeggans]

I just lost my wife, the love of my life, my best friend this morning from breast cancer and she died in my arms telling me she loves me and she is always with me and to never give up on love because I'll find somebody good for me. Now my dreams and hope of growing old with her are destroyed and nothing will bring her back and what do you expect me to do wave a magick wand and say abracadabra bring my wife back? Seriously this Halloween which was her favorite holiday will be less easy along with the rest of the holidays and then next year with what would of been her 34th birthday and then our fifth year anniversary at June 7th. I'm not going to come out of my god damn apartment and shut myself out from society.

i understand i beg God to bring my husband back to life, I told him i be a better wife and treat him better, we always fight over politics i wish i didnt it was too late to say im sorry 😢 I just want to encourage so many Widows that are in pain that God will lift us up🙏🏻✝️🌹He knows

[@ronsmith2241]

My wife and I were married 51 years. She had MS for 26 years. I was her carer for almost all that time. She passed in June 2022 and I always come back to realizing she is not suffering anymore. I still miss her but I am now free to enjoy my life and retirement. I'm doing OK.

[@hikingnw4030]

My Husband died suddenly in November of 2018. Today, an old friend of his approached me and asked me to say hello to my husband from him. As you can imagine, I broke down crying. The friend didn't know that my husband passed & apologized for bringing me back to the pain. I thought that I was doing well.... I guess I'm not. I don't think that time heals, the pain just waits dormant until someone or something brings it up. Thank you for posting this video. God bless!

Thank you for sharing. Your sharing helps with the knowledge that I am not alone with this type of suffering and that I can keep going. I was with my wife for over 24 years. I watched her die for three months and have the same perspective you shared. She has been gone for nine months now. To add to losing my wife my dog passed away two months later and almost immediately after her passing we went on this terrible COVID isolation. The best advice I will take from you sharing is focus on tasks for the day.

I'm so sorry I know how it feels to be lonely without the person you love, such is life I understand how you feel but life goes on, I lost my wife 3yrs ago to a terrible heart disease, I felt deeply devastated with grief, but that's the past now, time is indeed the best healer I'd love to talk to you more if you don't mind it'd be nice if you just say hi here is my number [phone]

i came across your touching comment in the death of love ones post here on you tube. Well am really sorry about that okay 😒☹️and I know how it feels to be lonely without our love ones, we've all lost our love ones in death one way or the other, either a spouse, child, family members, or a true friend that meant the world to us, such is life I understand how you feel but life must move on because death is inevitable no matter how hard we try! And we'll all have to face it someday..

Bless your heart!! I feel everything you say!! I lost my husband to cancer 4 1]2 years ago. People just so t understand the hole that is left in your heart and how do you go on. I hope you find peace as I’m looking for that also. I don’t think people fully understand how precious life is and I too get bothered by people not appreciating what they have. Day by day is the only thing I can do. Thank you for this video

Thanks Jim, I really related to your message. I lost my wife in November 2019 - she died of heart failure suddenly. I have been coping with her not here for me - (it's difficult at times). I really miss her. You are so correct on things that really matter to us - for me, I'd give anything to have a moment with wife again. Thank you sir! Herb

I'm sorry for your loss. Thanks for sharing!

[@ItsMulani]

I lost my fiancé 2 years ago . It definitely changed my perspective on life. I dance more , write more just more creative . When i create new things it brings me a sense of peace . For those who are experiencing the “grey areas” of grief . It sounds silly but PAINT … Listen to some music “happy or sad) and paint .. let the colors create art from your pain .. you don’t have to immerse yourself in sadness everyday but try something new that you can look at after it’s completed… idk it’s something about painting my sadness away that brings me a little since of joy when I’m deep in my grief . 💙 wish you all the best in life

[@TosTinMan]

That's great that you do that. Life goes on so it's nice that you use it to be creative!

[@Gpacharlie]

I can’t imagine the pain of losing your wife. I hope that now at least you don’t have the daily stress of knowing how much she was suffering. Best wishes in your grieving times and prayers that you will start feeling much better.

[@lots3799]

Sorry for everyone that lost someone. My wife passed 3 1/2 years ago. It still is very painful. Tim you remind me of myself. Listening to country music, crying,and drinking beer. With no family or friends its rough sometimes. Holidays are the worst alone.

[@TosTinMan]

Yeah, at least I get to see my grandkids a lot lately.

[@thelisaluc]

My deepest condolences. And 100%, I agree. It's what I tell others. I've been a widow going on 8 yrs. Married 35 yrs. Never lived alone. I'm still struggling. Im finally doing so much better, but every day is a challenge, internally. I feel incomplete. Externally, we do well. At least that's how others see us. But what goes on behind closed doors and what we hold inside is a docent matter. It's always there. I think I want to live again, but I don't think, I be able to. I only know to be a mom and wife

[@ErikProMax]

First off, sorry for your loss. I searched for handling the death of a spouse because my wife who is 41 is diagnosed with terminal cervical cancer and is in hospice. She has maybe days left at the most and I was looking for videos to help me cope. Clicked on yours first honestly because I spotted the Niners cap. They have always been a huge part of my life and my wife and I were even married at City Hall in SF and went to a game at Levi’s as part of the trip. Anyway, thanks for your comforting words and perspective. I’m a whirlwind of emotions as I’m doing things like planning a cremation which I never thought I’d be doing at this age. Your video helped. Thanks, peace to you, and go Niners.

[@TosTinMan]

I'm very sorry to hear that. It's tough to go through but it makes you stronger down the road. I wish you the best! Go Niners!

[@sunshine9122]

I'm so sorry, Erik. I can relate. My husband died at the age of 38. I hope this message finds you doing okay.

[@ErikProMax]

@@sunshine9122 Thank you, and sorry for your loss. My wife passed shortly after I wrote this comment out. It's true when they say you never really 'move on', you just learn to live with it.

[@lindseysummers5351]

My spouse has been battling Stage IV breast cancer for the past two years. We found out this week, on my birthday no less, that it keeps spreading even while on chemo. So...we may be running out of options and may be looking at stopping her treatments. It was hard for me to hear that news, even though I knew it was a real possibility this entire time. Living for the day seems to be great advice. I told her that, if this is indeed the end of her line, that I want her to LIVE and not just wait to die. "Yell it out with me!! I want you to FEEL alive!!" If she takes me up on this, these next several months are going to be amazing. It helps me, because I am not looking forward to what is inevitably coming...

Just lost my wife on Feb 13th. Had to watch her die in a hospital bed with ventilator and nose tube. She died of liver cirrhosis with me and my son by her side. She is now with the Lord and my other son that that took his life 5 years to the day my wife passed. No coincidence there at all. Still grieving hard but I know the good Lord has something positive coming.

[@dguiley]

I lost my wife 1 month ago today, New Years 2024. In March she had been sent home from the hospital on hospice and had done very well for a long time but then started declining. Just before Christmas she really turned for the worst. We did what we could to keep her comfortable but it was so hard watching her life slip away. My left hand was on her chest to feel her last heartbeat and my right hand was holding hers. I know she’s joining in the worship around the throne in heaven, completely healed of all sickness and pain, but I’m here left to second-guess everything about her care as I sit in our quiet and empty home. So glad I’ve found videos from others to help me as I go forward, to sympathize with others going through loss and to know there is a path forward.

I used to feel the same way about my husband. My advice is stop thinking about it and enjoy the time now. My husband died 3 weeks ago. When I would bring my fears up to him he would say don't worry Darlin I will go before you because you couldn't handle it without me. He was only 59.

Your comment hit me as if you were me. It may seem harsh but I lost my wife at 62 when I was 64-3 years ago. I wish I could say "it gets better". But after so many of those from so many as I hit 3 years in August-well its your comment that I live on as well. Actually still seeking that last sleep as the future we planned and wanted is now gone and I am too far into life to get back in "the game". Its day to day-night by night -do the best I can.

I'm so sorry for your loss and the tough road you find yourself navigating. I still find myself in your shoes sometimes although it's been nearly ten years since my husband died. I was seeing a grief therapist during the early days of my husband's death, but after I stopped seeing her, it's very difficult to talk to others because they simply don't get it and/or our grief makes them uncomfortable. And in turn, their discomfort makes us uncomfortable too. I get it. I'm so sorry. I hope you're doing a little better.❤

You are going to go through many trials and hardships in this life, but Jesus is the only One who can heal your brokenness and set you free from the bondage the devil has over your mind and give you a peace and comfort that nothing in this world can give you. God bless you. Precious Memories-By Sonya Lakey Family Story Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day. My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening. That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are. Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you. His Story Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23) “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12) He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell. “For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price] “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8) Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, but He arose the third day, triumphant over sin, death, and Hell. Jesus is alive today! “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b) Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour! “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28) Your Story What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day - What if you were to die today? Where will you spend eternity - Heaven or the Lake of Fire? There will not be any parties in the Lake of Fire. It is a place of eternal torment for those who reject God's Son. The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) We did not know that Ethan would step into eternity that day; however, because he put his faith in Jesus alone for his salvation, Ethan was ready to go. Some day - perhaps today - you will take your last breath here on earth, and you will step into eternity. Where you spend eternity is determined by what you do with Jesus Christ. Will you accept Him or reject Him? You are not promised another day or another breath. Eternity begins soon - Are you ready? “...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31b) “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “(...behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2c) ****************************** This testimony has been made into a gospel tract.

Thank you brother

I lost my wife July 9 2020 I have a huge question for you

[@alexdon621]

I never knew people close to me would die young in their thirties. My partner was in a hospital but they didn't allow me to see her because I was on probation. My partner wanted to see me after a fatal accident but authorities refused that we had contact. I am not even allowed to claim her body since I am not a relative. I neglected my partner for months to prevent fights instead of resolving them. I abused her and was forgiven many times and my anxiety disorder took over relationship. I get hiccups on my disorder but I don't pay attention to it or react to it. I didn't just lose a close person, I lost myself. Would my soulmate forgive me after reincarnation?

Been two months since my beautiful bride died of cancer. It was a long fight and I was exhausted. But the red tape forced me that I cant curl uo in a ball and die , I have to get busy and dig myself out of the hole of red tape so I can finally breathe again. Im getting there, a few more big hurdles but Im staying very busy and adjustjng ine day at a time to living life alone and Im trying to enjoy the batchelor life and get some things done my way. Ive been getting back in shape, Lost 20 kbs and now look like like a 20 year old marine again st 53. I know Ill have no problem with the ladies but so far its only the super young girls in their mkd to late 20’s that seem interested. Im just not into girls my Daughters age. I have tons of projects going on to keep Me busy bit the loneliness after dark is pretty rough after 33 years of having a beaitiful woman at my side. My wife wanted me to remarry and she insisted I do. If anything I would love to have companionship from a besjrtifjl woman. Agajn.
