Stepping Stone Day 1
Posted: Sun Aug 05, 2012 1:07 am
Today, I found myself overwhelmed with grief and anger at the loss of my mother. These feelings surprised me greatly for it has been a year last month since her death. I have not been myself since. Over the year I have said to myself, God knows best and she is no longer suffering. I also believed that I was handling the grief well. Last night was the breaking point, I just couldn't stop crying in the peace of the night, wondering why the Lord has allowed this to happen. My mother was the most wonderful person I knew. Of course I would say that of my own mother but these sentiments were shared by so many of her friends and family throughout her illness and finally her death. She loved the Lord and lived her life as a reflection of Him. So, I am assured I will see her again when the Lord comes in the clouds of glory. She will be raised from her grave to be with Him eternally. I just pray that I will live my life to make my calling and election sure. I find myself with a lot of anger; with God for taking her before any of us were ready, my mother for giving up the fight, my father for robbing her of the will to live because of his poor treatment of her and some family who weren't supportive enough of me to allow me the time with her I desired. I now believe it is these feelings that are preventing me from managing my life successfully. I find myself spending less time with the Lord when I want to spend more. It is my prayer that after these 14 days my faith will be strengthen, I can let go of the anger and forgive those who I feel robbed me of my time with my mother and get my life back on track. I am thankful I found this website in my search for help last night. I solicit the prayers of those who read this.
Thanks,
Michele
