It really does help to hear from others who have gone through heartbreaks of their own, and have survived. ((hugs to you both)) Connie, what a blessing to hear your testimony...not only your peace about what happened and your trust in the Lord's will for you and your children, but also that your husband was saved as a result. Eternal life is really the important thing isn't it. As painful as death of a loved one is on this earth, it would be even worse if there was no hope of ever reuniting with them in Heaven, and not temporarily, but for eternity! As the famous song says, "When we've been there 10,000 years, bright shining as the sun...there's no less days to sing God's praise, than when we first begun..." Thanking God you decided to share your story here. Blessings to you and your husband. Thank you Brittany P and Connie for caring enough to comment and encourage.

Yes it is hard but with GOD nothing is impossible and he will never leave or forsake us. I always says it does not get better but different. I always knew I would not get to keep them forever because GOD does entrust us to keep and raise them to love him, and ultimately love and believe in him and his grace. They are on lone. The best thing that happened is my husband came to know Christ as his personal Savior and that does give some consolation. Also some may think it unfair but what is unfair is the fact that we no longer have to worry about where our children are, what they might be getting into in this crazy world, who may hurt them, or lead them astray. I pray for those who still have their children and have to worry about them daily prayng they are well and ok. Our children are in heaven with Jesus and are perfect waiting on us to get there. We will be crossing over Jordon and there will be our Savior and those who have gone on before waiting on us to praise and worship GOD forever and ever. I don't want others to feel sorry for us, our story is part of GOD'S perfect plan for our life and those we can be a comfort too. HE can use this to draw others to him. GOD knew the plans for us before we were born, we just have to trust him. With that said, I will miss having grandkids I've heard they are grand. When things don't go the way you think they should and seem very wrong don't run from GOD run to him as fast as you can run.

I am terribly sorry for your baby girl's death, and that of your father. Cancer is a nightmare. May God give you the peace that passes all understanding (Philippians 4:6-7) as you go through this tragic time. Prayers going up for you and yours right now. Hugs, Mary Dear Elliott,

I have too, in a way, have lost a child. We all must trust in God during situations like this. It isn't easy to lose someone you love. Thank you for the poem.

It is so true that God only loans his children to us and they are not ours to keep. The good Lord took my daughter Sidney home and 4 1/2 years old this April in a sudden accident. Although that main is more then I could ever come to explain I trust in God's plan. I know that I will see her again some day when God calls for me. I can not wait to wrap my arms around her again. God does pick the best for his children and I thank him greatly that he chose to give her to me. This poem touched me so much.

I hope you can continue to be there for her, for each other. That has to be every mom's worst nightmare, one they never wake up from. I hope the poem blessed your friend's mom on Mother's Day. ((Hugs)) Susanna...you are so right. But I can't imagine losing my child w/o faith to sustain me, and the hope of seeing her again one day.

My best friend and his little sister died in a car accident not even 2 months ago on his 19th birthday. Their mom took it very hard, they were her only 2 children. I was looking around for a nice poem to put inside a card and give it to her for Mother's Day when I stumbled across this. This is beautiful.
