Good Morning!
I wanted to share this article from grief share with all of you.It is so very true.
Love you all, Hugs, Barbara


Day 24 - Uncontrollable Emotions
Fear, depression, anger, loneliness, despair—these emotions come and go with dizzying unpredictability. Your life is like a roller-coaster ride that you can't get off.

Stay on the ride. You cannot hurry the grieving process. Each time one of these emotions comes flooding back, it is a sign that you are recovering.

"All the feelings, thoughts, and emotions rush back into my life. It's uncontrollable," says Dr. Norman Peart.

But God is always in control. He is a solid rock, unmoving and unchanging. Build your life's foundation on Him.

"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock" (Matthew 7:24-25).

Lord, I am hanging on for the endurance of the ride. You are a constant presence through my ups and downs. Amen.

Thanks for your post. Oddly enough I am on Day 24. My son Matthew, was killed on Feb 1, 2008 in a car accident. The rollercoaster ride is in full swing. I just felt Matt when I looked at this post as being Day 24 and the scripture was according to Matthew. Thanks again
Amber

Amber, My heart aches for you. I truly understand your pain. I lost my oldest child in a car crash on July 19 last year. It was just over 7 months ago. Tomorrow is her birthday. Today I'm OK. Tomorrow maybe not. I survive by living just one day at a time. I cannot think about living the rest of my whole life without her. I just try to find one thing that I can be happy about each day. My thoughts and prayers are with Matt and with all of you. God bless you.
PS. I am from Ill too. 40 miles NW of Chicago. All my kids were born there. Now I'm in Oregon.

Thanks for all your posts and candles on Matt's website. Nobody understands me here in my world I lovingly call Hell. My mother thinks I need medication, so she has made a drs appt for me tomorrow, I know she is trying to help but there is no pill for this. We live in a very small town in rural Southern Illinois..very southern tip of IL...where everybody knows you, which up until now would have been a great selling point for living in a small town, but now I can't even go to the grocery store it freaks me out. I am going for a much needed massage tomorrow. Our chiropracter who Matt saw frequently due to soccer bumps and bruises, sent me a one hour massage, instead of flowers...you gotta love him for that. So massage in the morning and drugs in the afternoon....sounds like another day in hell.
