will you pray for me? My mother died unexpectedly on Nov. 2, 2007, and EXACTLY 30 days later, on Dec. 2, 2007, my brother was killed in an automobile accident. I have never felt such grief in my entire life. We called each other every day; now my phone is silent. When it does ring, I run to it, and then remember that it's not them calling. I have the most wonderful husband in all the world but he can't dry this river of tears. I miss my mother and brother so much, will you please say a prayer or offer me a kind word of comfort? Thank you so much.

Note to kholliday...I'm so sorry about the death of your son. I can't use the word "lost" because he isn't lost, you know EXACTLY where he is. My other brother was killed in Iraq last year and I know exactly where he is, also.
TO ALL WHO ARE LEAVING MESSAGES FOR ME: Each one feels like a warm hug and each gives me the strength to take another step in my efforts to go on. You all have the kindest, most loving hearts.

Most gracious and loving God, I pray that you surround this family with peace. When they feel sadness remind them of the good times they had with their mother and bother. Father we know you are our Comforter and our Fortress allow them to come to you and lay in your perfect peace. In Jesus healing name we pray
Amen

I'm sorry for your losses. Though it was a little further that 30 days apart, I did have two family members die within two months of each other. You feel cheated because you're nowhere near finished grieving for the first, and then it happens again. I assume your mother and brother were close(?)...a nice way to think of it is that maybe your brother couldn't go on without her. Things supposedly happen for a reason. Now you just have to be the strong one. You will live through this, and laugh when life throws you curveballs because you will have already made it through such a tough time. I don't pray much, but know you are in my thoughts.

I'm so sorry for your loss. May God comfort you during this time of grief. I lost my son just 4 months ago. He was killed in combat in Iraq. I personally feel as if I will never completely heal from my son's absence. The only thing that brings me comfort is knowing that my son is a born again believer in Christ; and the Bible says to be "absent in the body is to be present with the Lord". So I know where he is - he's in heaven. And that's where I'll be someday too.
I will miss him so much, becasue a permanent hole has been dug out in my heart. I'm sure you feel the same about your mother and brother. The hole will heal with time, but there will be a permanent scar and probably even some pain associated with that scar, that may never heal. I personally don't want it to completely heal. I want it to be a constant reminder of my son, and what he meant to me.
I pray that you have many beautiful memories to keep them "alive" and "real" to you. Never forget them.
Blessings

Sorry that you have to go through this, it's so hard for you I'm sure.
I would suggest seeking out religious counsling, not sure with all of this happening so quickly that you can handle this one on your own.
With the religion being incorporated into the counsling, the Lord will be the guide and this should ease some of your pain.

So sorry for your loss. I will most definitely pray for you and your family! I know this might not help but just remember "God will NEVER give you something you can't handle!" It will be hard but trust in the Lord! Again I'm so sorry!! If you do need to just talk you can always email me. I will be here to listen if you wish!!

I am sorry for the loss of your dear mother and brother. Just keep living day to day, in time the shock and pain will pass. Don't stop crying until you are ready, grief is healthy.

My word of comfort is hopefully, in what I personally believe.
I believe that we are not our body, that our body is left behind and the essence of who we are goes on (soul if you like or spirit). I also believe that our loved ones are ALWAYS with us, looking after us, sending us suttle messages, and waiting for us on the other side. I and some of my family had experiences with this confirming to us that they can visit us if we believe it.
Sadly death is part of life. We all are born and we all will die.
To me that is not an end, it is another beginning. I also believe that the lovable pets that I have had in my lifetime are also waiting for me.
Peace and love

i'm greatly surprised that her family contributors physician has not recognised any concern as much as this time. I understand that migraine issues could properly be very debilitating besides the undeniable fact that it style of feels that she is desiring extra narcotic drugs than that that is often needed. Get in touch with the physician who prescribed this drugs for her and enable him be attentive to which you have self belief she is abusing the medicine via an dependancy which she maximum in all probability has. it fairly is fairly conceivable that the fainting and seizure pastime could be an factor results of taking too lots drugs at one time. show your concern to him. basically then will he have the skill to help her out and in all probability place her in a medical care putting wherein she would be able to have the skill to lose her dependancy to the narcotics.

Your mom and brother are in the hand's of
The Mother Queen Of Heaven Mary, and there they will
stay till you see them again. Your mom had to be real
lonely to call for your brother who she loved very much, but
she did love you and she will always love you, and will your
brother. Do this go in your room and talk to them and pray,
they can hear you but you can't hear them, they can see
you but you can't see them. And one more thing if you ever
feel a itch on your face and there is not anything on it that is
your mom holding you and her wing's are on your face and she is telling you
not to cry she will always be with you. I will say a pray for
for them and you and your family.

I'm sure this has been a very rough time for you, but just remember life still goes on, as always my condolence to your family.
Although I never pray, I'll make an exception for you just this time.
Whatever you do good luck
