I have some absolutely horrific news to share. Yesterday I had a memorial service for my dear husband and the father of my children. This happened after a drunk driver kid hit him on his way home from work very late Monday nite. I am so angry at that driver, who happened to be 22 yrs old and obviously was not thinking about what consequences could happen with getting behind the wheel. He ran from the scene but was caught and is now in jail. I am trying hard not to let my kids see my anger, but it is really hard right now. I am just reaching out to this group because I know there is so much encouragement to be found here. Please pray much for my family, the kids miss their daddy and don't totally understand what is happening. I miss my hubby who was such a great man of God and also such a great calming influence to me every day. I am at a loss for what the future may hold for my family raising 3 kiddos by myself and really quite fearful. Please pray for us!

How tragic! I am so sorry. Praying for you and your children. May the Holy Spirit comfort you during this time.

Oh no! I am so sorry to hear what has happened to your family. I am praying for you this morning. May God comfort you & give you direction on His plans for your future and that of your children.

I will pray for your family. ((()))

You Dear Lady, I am so, so sorry for your loss and the grief that you are bearing in your heart. You're such a good mama to try to be strong for your children, but you don't have to be strong all the time. When they see you reach out to others for help, they'll see such a good roll model. Especially when they see you rely on God and His strength through this.

Please ask for help when you need it, cry when you need to. I do offer sincere prayers to the Father on your behalf. He sees you and is the only one who can heal your brokenness. Don't go this alone.

Hugs and prayers.

That's awful. I'm so sorry for your loss; I pray that God will be close to you during this time of healing, that His grace and peace will be very apparent to you, that he will supply the strength and wisdom you need to be there for your kids right now and in the future.

Lord God be with you and Holy Spirit guide you. I pray that you will have ladies around to comfort you and help with everyday things...it is nesesary.

I'm so sorry and will pray for you and your children and for anyone that is near you that they will be Jesus to you in the everyday.

I am so sorry! I will be praying for you. Our hope is Jesus. Allow His Holy Spirit to comfort you. It would be good for you to talk to someone who has been through something like this. There is a lady in our church who lost her husband a little over six years ago. She had 6 very young children and was expecting her seventh when he passed away. If you would like to get in touch with her, PM me. I'm sure she would be happy to talk to you and encourage you. God gives us family and friends to offer support. He will give you what you need to get through this. Just keep your eyes on Him and stay in His Word. God bless you and your children.

I am so sorry! I will definitely pray for you. Grief is such a weird thing. It might help to google "grief" just to get an idea of the normal cycle of emotions you will be going through. Anger, denial, numbness, depression, are all normal reactions. Definitely talk to someone and stay close to the body of Christ. You don't have to be strong by yourself. Christ will strengthen you and your kids will see Him in you. I will pray for you all as you move forward from this.

I am so sorry for your loss. I will be lifting your family up in prayers. God will give you the strength to go through this trial.

Words can not express my condolences for you and your family. May God be with you now, holding you up, and bringing you through this. I pray you find rest in our Heavenly Father and that He brings people to you quickly to help you through this situation. I am praying for you!

Thank you for sharing here so that we may come alongside you in prayer. I am praying fervently for you and your family.

I am praying for your family continually as God brings you to my mind. May God bring peace and comfort to your heart and soul and provide for every need that you have.

Lifting up you and your family in prayer
