Prayer and grieving

My Mother also went home on Dec 25, 2018, My Father was Murdered on July 21, 1993. Both are in heaven as we speak.
The fact that they are in heaven makes it easier to deal with since, I know someday I will join them. I still think about my Father from time to time and I use the time to pray for the Salvation for every one I met in the last year. It also helps to play praise music. My Brother Larry is having a much harder time dealing with Mom's death. He is experiencing PSTD from it.

You are in our prayers,
Daniel and Nancy Marsh

I can't tell you how moved I am by this simple gesture. Thank you both so much. I'm sorrowed at what your family endured. God bless you both so much !!!!

Dear @Ellorah, grief is such a personal thing - and there’s no time limit, even though we might feel like we should be further on.. but grief is such a deeply personal thing that time seems to stop being time in a way.. that’s how it was for me anyway.
Praying you can try not to feel any pressure about how long you feel this way for... for me, giving the grief space, and myself permission to feel whatever I was feeling helped in some way..

I’m so sorry for your loss, your Mom looks really beautiful and sunshiny.. Praying you find comfort in lovely warm memories.. I’d be glad to pray for you, and for Jesus to comfort you esp through the next few weeks..

I’m sorry about your relationship too.. you seem like a lovely lady and hope you know that God has a wonderful plan for you and your life. Praying you can rest in Jesus, receive His comfort and Peace for your heart.

I’ve got to sign off now, I’m on 3% battery and it’s very late here in UK but I’ll be thinking about you and praying. Thanks for asking us for prayers, it’s a privilege to pray. God bless you!

Sad to see that some of your family do not support the spiritual pilgrimage that you are on. I can totally understand where you are coming from. It can be a painful situation when you love people that do not treat you the same because they do not understand how a life of faith can be a personal journey. What about you and your church does he ridicule?

I grew up in the Baptist faith. I am converting to Catholicism. 🙏

Please start a thread to describe what lead you to your new faith in Christ.

Thanks,
Daniel

PS have you ever heard of Catholic Answers.

I have just noticed this thread and will certainly pray for God to comfort you and lift the sadness off your heart and replace it with joy knowing that you will one day see Mom once again. I still miss my dad and he's been gone for 10 years. He is waiting to see me though, and your mom is waiting to see you too.

Have you been keeping the sabbath? Friday sunset to Saturday sunset spend time going through Richard OF'fill's sermons from his website and try to keep your mind on God He will spend that day with you. I recommend putting away any sin you might be holding onto. As long as your mind is on Him you will enter into His rest.

Wow that is a stark contrast of belief systems. I was exposed to Baptist denomination doctrines so to speak myself when I was younger but I have only recently learned about Catholicism which seems to be more of a religious system for theological rules. The hell fire and brimstone fear of sin can be sobering but I rather people be honest with me rather than a feel good message of prosperity. What about the Catholic Church seems to appeal to you?
