I have had contact this week with several friends from all over the USA who have had tremendous losses of loved ones this past year. One alone lost 5 of her family in 6 weeks.

This seems so strange, as everyone has had major losses, and so close together. I ask prayer for them to be able to deal with the Holiday season, and New Year --without their loved ones, and I ask prayer for myself for the much complicated health problems and ongoing pain. And for family Healing as well. Thank you all you are so special hugsssss ruthann

Dear Ruthann, hello again! At this time of the year it is especially painful to lose a loved one and it is especially difficult, when several losses follow closely each other. There is a candle group "ALL" for all we want to pray for and remember. I'll light a candle there.

Dear Ruthann, You are so right. I lost my grandfather in 1979, then my dad 3 years later, then my sister was murdererd at 15 and my Brother's baby diedin 1986, then my son was murdered in 2003. The losses are so great, and the holidays are so painful. Now my oldest son has a baby 16 months old, he is a beautiful baby, and his mother took him and ran off with an older man. Now they won't even let us see him at all. so I have another loss to deal with. But that all seems to be nothing to complain about when I hear that you are in such pain. I will pray for you and the healing of your pain. Know that I care and am willing to listen any time you need to talk.
Love to you
Dottie

You are all so special and sweet

I appreciate the prayers and support so very much...at times I really get frustrated and down___as anyone would__under the circumstances...I appreciate the candles lit for my friends as well...

I lost my husband last year and it was so very hard over the holidays....

.I just kind of let them slip by unnoticed as I was living by myself then,,,,,and not around family.
This year is a bit better dealing with the grief... but the physical part has been very rough, and is ongoing....and every effort is a constant daily battle...

Again I appreciate the support Love to you all and the very best wishes for a wonderful Holiday Season to everyone

HUGSSSSSSSS Ruthann

This is a very difficult time of year - w/friends and family gone from us....
Try to remember the gift of Christmas. The promise of rebirth in a place of nothing but love.
Let the Lord Jesus heal all broken hearts from grief, dispair & pain.
Peace be with you.
