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

Hi VMB
And welcome to the Oasis, yes while I cannot imagine your pain of losing your mother from your words she was suffering
and God took her that was His way of healing, I know we will never understand this, we just have to trust in Him
I pray you find peace in the loss of your mother and the forgiveness of the others
As for the walk you are starting here it will bless you for sure, there are many others to and may I suggest you look into those when you finish this one, there is a study on the loss of loved ones as well
SO many forums and chat
May God pour His blessings out upon you and give you peace

Hello VBM

God bless you this day, and welcome to Christianity Oasis.

I'm glad The Lord led you here, and that you made the decision to start the CCCC 14-Day Study. I'm excited for you, because I know you are going to be very blessed.

The beautiful unconditional love that your mother shared with you, came straight from The Lord. And even though you cannot see or hear your mom right now, she is just a realm away, and that beautiful and blessed unconditional love still flows freely towards you.

Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.

VBM, you, too, are God's child -- just as your mother is God's child. He has much to share with you, and a purpose and a plan for you. The anger will only serve to delay your destiny, so it is time to rid yourself of it. God can and will help with that too, if you are willing.

Prayers are rising to our Lord in the name of Jesus, on your behalf. May God's blessed and perfect will be done.

God bless and keep you.
In Christ Jesus' love,
Sister Mack
