Cathy I am so sorry for your loss sweetie...Here always for you. Will keep all of your family in prayers.


God's Love



When we lose someone we love
The loss seems too great to bear
God sends us friends to comfort us
To show that He deeply cares

But in the dark hours of the night
When there’s nobody else around
When we feel the saddest and loneliest
It’s there God’s love can be found

It’s like a soothing, healing balm
To soothe our broken hearts
The healing oil poured over us
That flows into every part

We can rest secure in God’s love
And know He’s by our side
He holds us when we feel as though
A part of us has died

We can know that God will listen
When we just want to talk
And when we feel we need to cry
We can share it with the Lord

For He is always waiting there
Ready with arms open wide
As we pour out the hurt within
He pours His love inside

Our Father above loves us so much
And will never leave us alone
He will not forsake us in our need
To face this on our own

He comforts us and strengthens us
And rubs us with His balm
And as the dawn breaks through the night
We’ll awake in His loving arms.

I can only recall my own feelings when my 9 year old daughter died in my arms and this:

I feel how weak and fruitless
must be any word of mine
which should attempt to beguile you
from the grief of a loss so overwhelming.
I pray that our Heavenly Father
may assuage the anguish of your bereavement,
and leave you only the cherished memory
of the loved and lost.

excerpts from A. Lincoln's letter

My condolences.

I just saw this now. Having known Cathy for a long time and met her three times, I am stunned, and I don't quite have the words.

May he rest in peace in the hands of God.

I am so sorry and sadened by your loss. I know words are meaningless right now, but know that all of our prayers and God's love will hold you up and give you strength, even if you aren't realizing it at the moment.
Be kind to yourself and let the tears flow. Tears (and screaming) are very healing. Just take baby steps and some how, some way, the journey of grief will be less painful.
My love and prayers are with you. 5x10 (Mary)flowers

Our deepest sympathies to you and your family at this time...:heart: Our Prayers are that you may be comforted...flowers


I am not there
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the snow on the mountain's rim,
I am the laughter in children's eyes,
I am the sand at the water's edge,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle Autumn rain,
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the star that shines at night,
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.

For those who know Cathy (Artcat) ..

Her 29 yr old son passed away suddenly last night. :cry: He left a wife, son, daughter and daughter on the way. brokenheart

He went to the doctor's last Thursday with a bad headache. After going back and forth since then, he passed away at home last night from an anuerysm. His wife and sister tried cpr but lost him. :cry:

A friend of Cathy's spoke with Cathy earlier and she is in shock and not doing well. Cathy is a wonderful woman and friend. I met her two years ago in person at my home. Can't even imagine the pain she and her family are in right now.brokenheart sad

Whenever i have suffered loss, this poem enlightens me...


Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.





lovely .. I'm sure it will lift her spirits Lisa

Isn't that the truth Missy. Because it's not supposed to be that way. My mom died unexpectedly @ 53 (I was 18) and she was the only child of my grandmother. Hardest thing in the world for grandma - broke my heart to watch her deal brokenheart ..
