Hello, everyone. In 2014 I lost my beautiful mother; she was of age. In 2015 I also lost my little brother;he die of sadness. It hurt, it hurt much. 
The JOY of the LORD is my strength.

Welcome to CC and the singles forum. So sorry to hear about your losses and hope you can find community and support here. May God continue to give you strength and fill you with his inexplicable comfort and peace.
My deepest sympathies to everyone who has lost someone here.
One of the most comforting experiences I've had on CC is that many of us have walked through life's hard times together, and hopefully we can all continue holding each other up through both the good and bad.
I lost someone very dear to me several years ago... But I ask God often to give her a hug on my behalf while she's waiting for me to someday join her, even if that time is many, many years from now.
I once bought a sympathy card that says life is a journey, and on that journey, we are all walking on a path. When the time comes, God takes our loved ones by the hand and starts leading them down a different path--one that we cannot follow.
The people we love are still walking with Him down--it's just that God places a cloud behind them and hides them from our site for a little while.
One day, it will be our turn to go behind the cloud, too, and the people we love will be right there waiting for us.
God bless.

Soon i have to go again, say goodnight to the sleepers on the other side of the globe... but i wanted to post a little bit before going. I do miss family who are far away, and yes, some who have gone before us. When i fix things and even open albums, i miss children who have grown and are So different. I also miss an old friend, that is, a childhood playmate who still seems as happy to see me whenever we manage a few times by accident, as in the bank. However, i have an unpleasant feeling, pls tell me, is this jealousy, just insecurity?!
While she has to report for work, altho not regular hours, i did take the effort to ask her out for lunch some time and she was willing, set a date. Then that morning, i mentioned i was somewhere there, and she quickly responded she had a mtg and could not come. She's a single mom and her only child has been married, so i thot she'd have more free time, but i kept being the one wondering when a lunch would ever push thru. But i dont hear from her. I never want to nag, or appear doing so by reminding or asking again. You'd think we werent old friends, but ppl do change... so i am just missing and wishing she'd remember and ask or do something!

I have and in loss is where I feel most connected with Jesus. Let me explain. One of the accounts of Jesus that fascinates me is his behaviour when he heard that Lazarus had died. If I'd been Jesus I would have told them not to cry, I was about to do something amazing. I'd be grinning like an idiot (I am not saying this as a reflection on our Lord). He didn't do any of that. When he heard of the death he wept. That astounded me. Why was he grieving when it was going to be fixed? What he did was give me complete freedom to grieve without being chided for a lack of faith. He was fully man and fully compassionate in what he did. He allows us all to experience our humanity without shame when it comes to loss. No one should ever tell you to feel a certain way or the length of your season of sorrow. It is such a comfort and an amazing piece of kindness from Jesus for them and all of us.
I am so sorry for your losses. Hugs.
