Comment on Grief, Faith and Culture II by Patricia Van Camp

Jim: what a beautiful message of the reality of faith and grace. We, on our own, deserve nothing from God but his wrath, yet He chooses to grant grace and see His own dear son Jesus in us. I cannot fathom the depths of sorrow that your family experienced, so an “I’m sorry for your loss” is inadequate. Yet the Lord shows Himself strong in our weakness, as He has done for you and your family. Thank you for sharing the journey of faith and affirming the value of a relationship with our Creator to the world. It is indeed a broken and sad world, but He comes to save and redeem. Praise His holy Name.

Comment on The Need To See by Funeral Adelaide

I agree with you that we should always respect the preference of the family members of the deceased. Oftentimes we have this longing to give a last glance on our friend or family member that had passed away, and it hurt knowing that sometimes it is impossible. If you look at it on the different perspective, it simply signify that we should cherish every single moment that we spend with the people around us, because you’ll never know when would be you’re last chance to see them.

Mary is a wonderful writer who has a way with words that always moves me, never more so than these words about her father. Thank you for sharing, Mary.

This is a beautiful post. My father also died 8 years ago and some days the loss is still fresh but most of the time I now just celebrate who he was — this trip around.

Heidi your post and Debra’s are so helpful for people at this time of year. I know they helped me. I always miss my parents around the holidays and stress just makes it all worse. Thank you for this.

Heidi,
I loved your book and shared it with many here at Fairhaven. I give them fair warning, however. I read at the gym, and I will confess to shedding some tears as I read your book. It can be embarrassing when you are on the stairmaster to be wiping away the tears. Thank you to the support of all who are grieving. You are a true blessing.
