Oh my….a friend shared this with me. I lost my wife 6 months ago after nearly 52 years of marriage. The hurt is so deep and penetrating. I’ve been crying for a very long time. She was ill for seven years and I cared for her. I’m 70 yrs old and we were married at 18 yrs old. High school sweet hearts and neighbors. Pray for me….Please.
Al, so sorry for your loss. We're praying for you.
❤️🙏
So sorry for your loss. I pray Our Lord holds you in his everlasting arms and brings you comfort. I pray loved ones surround you and support you. God bless❤
Praying you’re doing better today, I’m deeply sorry. I pray everyday you have memories to bring so much joy and fill your heart and your family. Much love.
I pray that God give the strength you need to carry on.
I lost my only child last month, he was just 10 yr old. The thought that he is not here with me anymore is the greatest pain I felt in my entire life. I've been crying each day. Only my faith to God is making me feel better.
Im so touched by ur message ,may God give you strength that you never experienced before and peace that is above all understanding
I lost my Last son on the 22/09/2022 to an accident. It's not really easy.
But God has been strengthening me. I really can't concentrate on any thing now but I try
Sorry to hear about this tragedy! I lost my only daughter 9/28/22 she was just 18 in July a freshman at UC college her and her roommate where walking on campus and in a cross walk a teen driver whom stole the car,Her roommate survived but unfortunately my daughter didn’t survive her injuries. I am heart broken 💔@@buildingexceptionalpeoplew4229
Oh sweetheart, I’m so very sorry to hear about your dear Son. I have no words of comfort because although I’ve recently lost my Husband, the grief of losing your child is unimaginable. All I know for sure is that our Saviour knows your heart is broken and He will never not be there for you. Talk to Him always, cry to Him, express your anger to Him. He’s our Father, we need to let Him love and comfort us. You are in my prayers, sending love and big hugs ❤️
@@buildingexceptionalpeoplew4229❤️❤️❤️
Lost my mom last week unexpectedly. She was caring, forgiving, strong, beautiful, and friend.
I don't know how to get through this. I miss her so much.
Sorry to hear that, Linda. We're praying for you.
So sorry for the loss of your mother. When I lost my father at age 20 I was devastated. I'm 43 now. I'm going to tell you that you are going to be ok. It may take some time and it may be difficult, but you are going to be ok. I will pray for you and your family. God bless you. I'm going through my own loss right now. I lost my most beloved pet cat this week just a few days ago. She was my world and meant so much to me. I am very very sad, I miss her, and I cry, but I'm not ashamed of it. I wish you the very best and God bless you 🧡🙏
Praying for comfort, peace, and strength
@@TheMoodyChurchlost my aunt yesterday to cancer and she was the most lovely human being. Please can you pray for me too feeling depressed after this . Pray light to shine on her . Amen
I just unexpectedly lost my mama last week too… I am so sorry 😔
I really needed to hear this. I lost my husband, August 7th, we were together for 43 years. I miss him so much. Please pray for me for strength.
Praying for you Kathy
@@TheMoodyChurch Thank you so much. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather. But most importantly, he was a Christian man, who loved his Lord . I'm completely lost without him .
@@TheMoodyChurch Thank you for your prayers. My husband Mason, was a wonderful man. I'm so lost without him. I don't think I can go on with out him. I know that he went to Heaven, but I don't think I can wait very much longer to be with him. I don't want to be here anymore
😔
@@megkag1977 The Lord numbers our days and has us here for a reason, even when it's hard to carry on and feels like a mystery. Your husband ran his race and is now in the arms of Jesus; he is still cheering you on to finish your own race well (Hebrews 12:1). If you'd like to speak to a pastor for guidance, please give us a call at 312-327-8600 and ask to speak to the pastor of the day. They'd be glad to talk with you and provide encouragement. God bless.
@@TheMoodyChurch Thank you so much, for your prayers, and reply. I know that I will see Mason again. It's just that I miss him so much, we were true soulmates, and best friends. He was the love of my life. 😔
Heavenly Father, please surround us with your loving embrace. Comfort our broken hearts, help us to focus on the good memories. Lift us up and carry us when our hearts are too heavy for us to move forward. Surround us with your grace & mercy. Amen.
Amen
Amen🙏🏾
Amen
Amen🙏
Amen. 🙏
lost my sister march 2nd 2022, so sick of people telling me to be strong & not to cry, how do i not cry when i’m so devastated? 😔 physically and mentally sick at the thought that she’s really gone.
I am sorry for your loss and pray that you found peace
❤️
I am so sorry for your loss beloved. Grief can look different for each person. Grieve in your own way. Cry, shout, be raw, let it out. Your grief matters. God is close to the broken hearted. He is right there with you in the midst of your pain. He hears you.
Some people don’t understand grief. Its not something thats talked about often. It sucks. I am praying for you. I see you. I’m walking through a season of loss and can relate to your comment so much.
I lost my wife who is my world last year to cancer, I cry most days happy tears at memories and sad tears that she has gone. People who haven't experienced the pain that we have every day with our loss don't understand. Don't be hard on people because they don't know what to say. I've gone through anger,sadness, dark thoughts most weeks. It will never go away but it will get easier. It's like the pain we feel at the moment is the size of a basketball but in time it will reduce to the size of a tennis ball and we can keep it in our pocket, it will never go away but it will be easier to manage. Look after yourself x
I lost my wife five days after your sister left you. I understand that pain. God loves you, pray for healing and strength for you.
I lost my little dog 3 weeks ago, and I had her over 15 years. She was all I had besides Jesus those years... I am grieving hard 💔 people are dismissive pets and say insensitive things like pets are not in heaven, etc...
💔💔💔
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you. I am 87 years old. My husband of 68 years died a month ago. I’m not O K. No. No words to explain the pain, the loss, the empty and missing.
I sent this podcast to our 8 Children because you told everyone exactly how grief works. The tears and bawling that just goes on all the time. Can not think or feel anything but sorrow. Half of me is missing.
You are a blessing. I go back and listen. You said it all. Hard. Thank you again.
Wow 87 years old.
I am like a third your age and I feel I won't even reach 50...
Remember God want us to be strong till the end. He wants us to value the precious life he gave us so treat yourself right to honor his creation. We are alive and we must care for the alive. The dead are now in a sleep so they arw now aware of what we do they cannot contact us. They will be ressurrected later on.
But you must keep going you are strong tl reach that age. Honour life. Be there for your children and grandchildren.
Blessings
Sending you so much love Shirley 💕🌷💚
I’m so sorry for your loss….

I lost my mom yesterday. I found her. God, she died all alone. She hadn't been feeling well, but I couldn't get to go to the doctor. Her door was locked, and I couldn't. I climbed through her window. I just saw her on Thursday and spoke with her later that evening. She said she wanted to sleep and she was very tired. God I wish I would have brought her to my home. I feel so guilty💔😥😢😭 I am very glad I found this video. God bless 🌸
My dad was plowing the driveway last friday. mom told him supper was done and he said he was going over it one more time he didn't come in and was laying beside tractor he died instantly from pulmonery embolism. I was just there Sunday he made me apple fritters and we talked for hours he had a slight limp he was also 73 and said he couldn't wait for it to warm up his leg bothered him in the cold If I had known I would have taken him to hospital.
So sorry for you all, from both comments and anyone feeling and struggling with these things, , can understand, and i would like to say I feel God showed me that our loved ones know all, more than ever and how we love them and always...❤🪽🕊️🫂🙏🏾our spirits are in heaven with them and Jesus 🙏🏾
My brother passed on 9-11-2022, I’m having a very rough time with this because we were so close. I cry constantly and my heart hurts. I pray for strength, but I feel like I’m losing it.😢
So sorry for your loss, Karen. We're praying for you.
Sorry for your loss sweet heart.
I lost my son too same month.
I'm so sorry.😔 We can stop and say to Jesus, "I receive Your peace" 🙏
😔🤝 sorry to hear..
So sorry
I lost my mother nearly 6 months ago. The shock still feels fresh. She was the greatest positive influence in my life. A month ago, my best friend lost his father. My friend and I lost our greatest protectors. If anyone reads this comment, please pray for us.
So sorry for your loss, Tango. We're praying for you.
WE lost our MOM suddenly in November 2024 & YES everyone asks how are you doing? are you OK? They want you to say yes, and you do...BUT WE are not OK. I hope in time we will be BUT for right now WE are NOT. I pray daily, I talk to HER daily, but sometimes the pain and sadness just comes. It's like a wave knocking me down. She would NOT want this for Us! WE know that, that doesn't make it any easier.
Thank You Pastor for such a moving, perfect Sermon. AND to anyone that has loss I pray that you find peace. Amen & AMEN
I.lost my wife in October...and people ask me the same questions. My answer to how are I tell them it depends on when you ask me.
I totally relate. Grieve is extremely hard. Lost my mom also suddenly in August. But the Lord we serve has not forsaken us. It is well ❤
Grieving the suicide death of my 33 year old son in 2020. I can testify that I don't grieve as those who have no hope. I can testify to the great comfort and help that the Lord has given me. But I still look for relief by listening to messages such as this for ongoing comfort. My friend reminded me the other day that it's supposed to hurt when a child dies. I miss him terribly. And I deal with so much guilt as a parent. What I have done that possibly could have caused this, and what I didn't do that could have prevented it. And I keep throwing myself into the arms of our loving heavenly Father who's giving me great peace that my child is with him. He has delivered him safely home.
This is so beautifully written ❤️ it's amazing how you are dealing with your grief, the Holy Spirit has reassured you that your son is in safe hands until you meet again ❤️🔥 Thank you for inspiring us with your testimony...I do hope you are continuing to feel comforted and full of hope because the loss must be ever so painful for you, being his Mum for 33 years 💙🩵💙
My heart goes out to you 🫶🏻♥️🫶🏻
I am sorry for your loss
You are a blessing, pastor. My entire life since my mum died 5 months ago described in one sermon. I am grateful for those with hearts like yours
I needed to hear this today! The tsunami hit at 5:00 a.m. this morning and knocked me off my feet. It's really ugly during this time but as painful as this is you help me to realize that I have to go through it. I lost my husband of 34 years on 9/19/21 suddenly and I felt completely blindsided. We were best friends and did everything together. Now I am completely alone. I feel like a little bitty dot in a Great Big world. Every morning I wake up the nightmare begins all over again. He's not here, and I'm screaming, praying, lamenting, and in the Word.
This pain is unbearable. And when the tsunami hits without warning it literally takes me off my feet.
The holidays are quickly approaching and that ties my stomach up and knots.
People ask me how I'm doing if I say okay, they're like that's good and keep moving. Sometimes I tell the truth, and say, I feel like my heart has been ripped out of my chest and I have literally been gutted. TRUTH!!
The two shall become one flesh.
Be kind, we don't know what kind of battle someone is facing or what kind of journey that they're on.
Sorry for your loss Donna! May God comfort you🙏🏾 and protect you
Donna, I know how you feel. Barbara passed February 3rd 2022. I feel like you feel. One day I told God the truth about how I really feel. I told Him that I believe He loves both Barbara and me, because of the many times He brought each of us through near death experiences. But I let God know that right now, I don't feel love, I feel abandoned and forsaken. Well as I sat there that very same day, I noticed a peace had come upon me. It was very subtle, but undeniable! I'm still going through quite a bit of grief. I miss my partner in life so badly. But God has comforted me as I stay in His word. I know He is the One who blessed me with Barbara. And even though I don't understand, I trust that He knows what was best for Barbara and for me, because He loves us and He wants us all to be saved, above all else. You are in my prayers 🙏❤️🙏
@@bjmartin1215 thank you. The pain is unbearable. It's was 8 months for me yesterday. I now have tolerable days and bad days. I still pray for the Lord to help me through this. I'm sorry for your loss. Yours is very recent. Grief is the price we pay for love. Take one moment at a time. One breath at a time. God will get us through this. It won't be painless or quick but He will go with us through it.
@@justpeachy1013 Amen, yes He will. And one day soon when Christ returns, we will be with them. And we will never part again.
I need to show this to my mom,,,,
My mother died on Christmas Day 2021. I am a disabled man and I was living with my mother here at our family home. I'm now the last living person in my immediate family. Everyone else is gone (Dad, Mom, 2 brothers). I'm all alone in my house now. The only friends I talk to are online. It was tough at first, then I was OK for a bit. Then, tonight, I went into Mom's room, hugged the pullover she used to wear and just cried like a baby. My heart is so broken. My Mom was my world - and now, I'm adrift.
So sorry for your loss, Axess. We're praying for you. If you'd like to connect with one of our pastors, please contact the church. We'd be happy to talk. You can also connect with us through our online services and prayer meetings.
This was great. It does make me feel a little better. Because it’s exactly what I feel every day confused I lost my wife four months ago. She had gotten a second chance with a heart transplant. But then got cancer that they missed 😢😢😢 she rescued a dog which helps me. And I promised her to take care of her son. His dad is not in the picture. He will graduate this year. I will keep my promise and take care of him.😢😢😢
So sorry for your loss, William. We're praying for you.
I lost my sister Sharon to Suicide my brother was diagnosed with heart failure. Shortly after that my mother passed away. My brother-in-law which I was very close to died of a stroke unexpectedly. Then my oldest sister was diagnosed with lung cancer. My brother's fiance passed away she had MS. My brother was the only one left I tried to take care of him and he died on the 18th he finally got tired and just gave up and died. As an evangelist I find this hard to deal with I don't know what I should be doing but I feel lost. Recently my 28 year old daughter was diagnosed with inoperable colon cancer how much can one person take .
That is horrendous. I am so sorry. Remember the story of Job…please reach out if you need to vent. Much love to you and I will pray for you.
I am sorry that you have had to deal with so much death. I can’t imagine how you feel. I pray you have someone around to navigate this tough times with. May the Lord hold your hand through this.
Today it's 10 months since my dad passed away. My heart still feels as shattered as the day he died. Some days it feels as if my heart is physically breaking. That's how much it hurts. I just hurt all over
So sorry for your loss, Tasneem. We're praying for you.
Tandem I'm praying for you.
My entire body is sore
I know exactly how you’re feeling. I lost my father 3 months ago, and sometimes I feel like I’m not going to make it. My father is my best friend, mentor, teacher, he was everything to me! I have my wife and my children, and I’m so thankful for them, but there’s nothing anybody can do to help me with my pain. I’m praying for you and your family!🙏🏾
@@lydellwhite5024 and I will keep on praying for you as well. May the Lord God Almighty comfort all of us. Keep well my friend 🙌
I had to bury both my gran parents - both side too , also buried my 9month old sister, an 8year old brother, then recently , my mom n then my 27year old sister.. I've had sorrow for more than half my life. Not a wonder God is so close to me, I just need His holy Spirit to guide me as I know n believe Jesus still intercedes till today .. N my loved ones are not lost at all.
I lost my mom last weekend and this is the hardest thing I've ever been through....please pray for my family.
❤❤❤
So sorry for your loss, Melissa. We're praying for you.
The Lord knows what we need, when we need it. I am grieving the loss of my best friend, my beloved mother. She passed away January 28, 2022 due to complications from covid. What a shock it has been, indeed. I miss her everyday, my life feels like it has been thrown in a tailspin. I know God is faithful to His word. So I rest in His promises and I rest in His matchless peace...but I dont minimize my pain, either. Everyday has presented a new emotion, a new challenge. When grief gets thick, I cry and worship my way through it. It brings me much comfort to know that its ok to not keep up appearances and not be ok. I needed to hear that for my own sanity. The phone calls have stopped, the txts are dwindling, the check ins are becoming less and less...life is moving forward. I promised myself and the Lord tht I will take one day at a time. And all I ask in return is tht I not be pulled out the fire, but tht He will walk with me through it. Praying for all who are going through loss today. It is well, take all the time you need to go and be with God. Hes close to those of us who are broken hearted. Breathe...its ok to do so. May God bless you!
Thank you, I'm grieving, my Mom died 5/1/22
Thank you for strengthening us and sustaining us Oh Lord, I’m broken & weak , I’ve lost my beautiful 13 year old son , you know this because you permitted his death, it’s a pain like no other , Jesus I know you weep with us all . Thank you pastor for this sermon, it’s helped me beyond measure this last hour. I’m 4 months into my grief and I still live hour by hour. Peace be with us all 🙏🏼
I lost my son who is 31yrs old suddenly! and it's really hard to explain in what kind of grief we are! pray for us please.
Lost my grandson 22yrs old 18 mths ago. No word to explain the pain. We lean on Jesus.will pray for u.
The LOML passed April 18th, every 18th is hard. I know God has a plan for me but I just can’t believe my first love is gone. I’m so mad at him for making a dumb decision and taking the wrong drugs but he brought me to God. I truly believe I got to love an angel in my lifetime. Which has been my biggest blessing! It just hurts so bad. I know God is with me, I know Jesus is comforting me, but I can’t see them! At only 29 I’m so scared of my future. I feel like I don’t know who I am anymore. I’m sick of crying but I know I have to. I just want to be free
Before experiencing grief first hand, I always thought the sadness was for those who had passed. After experiencing it first hand, I now realize that the sadness is for those who did NOT pass. Those who have to continue on life without the one that gave them life to begin with.
8 months and still I'm grieving the loss of my mother The struggle is real it has shown me who my true friends are and the ones I have been so blind to that I thought was there for me all they want to do is be into themselves they have no care about my suffering 💔😔
I appreciate this word! I am a pastor who loss my wife 2 months ago unexpectedly. It's been very tough dealing with the process of grief. Having the hope of seeing her again someday is a major component of what gets me through everyday. Blessings!
Prayers for you! Grief is confusing as a believer! Because you have every possible emotion, ever! 🙏🙏🙏
Yes, most important thing is that in Heaven we will see again. How mercy it will be! I loss my christian wife at age 43 about 3 months ago, she was driving our 4-year old girl to a doctor by car, when her hearth stopped working. Child yelled "mom" and crying, but she have to wait that some adult came and started emergency. There was not any marks of any problems earlier. I think that thousands of Christians prayed a miracle many days, but it did not happen. She was my "home" in this world. I have cried, prayed and yelled to God a lot. Can't understand, but knowing that Jesus Christ is good and almighty.
God has given me some information, that many people will go to heaven because of this our "catastropic accident" and that He knows everything and will come back very soon. Also that He is only one who knows who is going to Heaven (meaning if You think that somebody is atheist, but God have strenght to speak to him/her in last second that she/he can faith in Christ).
Please pray strenght of Holy Spirit me and our daughter. That we would have God's strenght to make our works here final and after that, Yes there is our Home in heaven with loving ones and God. Come, Christ, come!
(Sorry my bad English)
May He continue to cover you under His Wings!
I lost my mom 3 years ago but it feels like yesterday and I really needed this ❤️God says He is close to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirits🙏
Lost my grandpa to alcoholism 2 years ago it’s hitting me more now 🥺
I miss him, he loved me and I loved him so much 😢
NEEDED THIS TODAY 🙌🏼 The loss of a child is so difficult...This whole year has been a rollercoaster! This blessed us today and thankful this video just randomly popped on my timeline.
Sorry for your loss. My daughter died 7 years ago. I was really lost for a long time. The first year I did not function too well. The second year ....I don't know...it's very hard to explain ..it seems like a mixed up jumble of life. I can remember being overwhelmed and saying to God..help me...I'm running to you..I'm feeling totally overwhelmed. He always helped me to calm down a bit. Take baby steps..just baby steps. That's all.
I understand your loss of a child..prayers
Thanks you for sharing the truth. My son died July 1 2021 and everything is still fresh I read your post and it have given me hope that I am going to he alright.
GOD bless you in JESUS name
I lost my baby girl at 3 weeks old 2 weeks ago
I know exactly how you feel and I’m still praying for you beautiful. God is healing each and every one of us and He shall get us through this
i just lost my grandpa this past sunday. i was gonna see him in a month. it’s not fair lord. i’m not used to grief and i really loved my grandpa i was so excited to see him!! i feel everything the pastor is saying. i feel numb and disoriented. the way he died was gruesome as he was killed. i just cant believe it and all i can ask God is why!
This is just what I needed. My precious mother fought the fight with COVID for a couple of weeks. She went to be with the Lord at 2:30 this morning December 19, 2020. She was 88 years of age and had just had her birthday 4 days before. I also lost a good friend the same week, Dec 12, 2020. This preacher is absolutely correct about the distractions of getting things done with the funeral service, etc...and then you realize it's truly over and reality hits.
Very sorry for your loss, Cindy. We're praying for you.
So true. That's why I think it's so ironic how everyone will visit during the time you're trying to organise all that stuff only to disappear when the true grief hits. That's when you need them to be there.
Lost a 32 year old cousin around that time now this year in April around his birthday daddy died at almost 56
I needed this too. My dad is in ICU it's a dire situation. I may lose him. I feel broken.
I hope that your Dad pulled Through.
I lost my mum on Saturday I needed to hear this DEER. Please God bless all who are grieving!
Grieving the loss of our Pastor yesterday. He passed due to COVID-19. My heart is broken. Also trying to help my sister thru grieving for a much different reason. (Her story to tell not mine.) Please help pray for all of our church family and pray for my sister and pray I have the wisdom to help her thru her grief.
Praying for your church and your sister.
I'm sorry for everything you're going through. I'll say a prayer for you
I lost my cat 2 days ago. My baby I literally grew up with him we almost reached a decade together. He was so special to me and brought me lots of love and happiness. I pray the lord wraps his arms around me and brings me comfort.
I lost my cousin 1 week ago and I need prayer to get through it
What a blessing. My mother died 11/20. My siblings, nieces, nephews and I have begun the greiving process. We hold on to our precious memories. Reading the scripture on loss in very helpful.
Thank you for your message pastor Larry. You did encourage me. My wife of 55 years went to be with the Lord 10 months ago and I am still struggling big time. Almost every night I asked the Lord to take me home to heaven in my sleep but every morning I'm still here. You said 18 to 24 months to begin to heal. I guess I have a ways to go. We were childhood sweethearts and grew up together. A teenage wedding. I don't know how I'm going to make it without her but maybe Jesus will help me. I am a Christian and Jesus is My Savior but he doesn't feel close right now. Even King David said God why are you so far away. Please put me on your prayer list. Thank you
I loss my boyfriend on 27 November, 2020, I miss him so much ,I am depressed and wants to hurt myself most of the time ,I forget things and feel like I can't go on, I am praying for strength .
Praying for you Erica
May the Holy Spirit comfort you keep you safe in Jesus name.
Everything gonna be ok. Give it some time
Erica, I am prayingfor you amd hope that this finds you in a peaceful time. Love You
Hope the Lord sustained you!
Lost my best friend today. He was 36 years old, this message blessed me!
I lost my darling husband suddenly to an aggressive form of cancer 2 months ago. He was a good man of God, we did ministry together and I cannot wrap my head around the loss. My situation is such that in another country right now and have absolutely no social life, no family. I will be going to be with family only in December. Please pray for me, if you read this.
I'm very sorry about your husband, trust me I completely understand how you feel, I felt the same way when my wife past away June 4th 2018 grief is hard to deal with but we learn to live with it, where are you from.?
I am 22 years old. Lost my dad two years ago. He was man one hundred percent dedicated to GOD. Now he is resting in heaven. But it still hurts because I had to grow up as a man. Take care of myself, take care of my relationship with JESUS, take care of my responsabilities as a Student, as a son, as a brother, as a leader to some of my friends, etc. It's been tough but JESUS on his mercy has taken a really good care of me. My Dad used to say to me when I was a little boy that before him, JESUS CHRIST is my dad. And really believe that in the very bottom of my heart. Life is beautiful, it's a GIFT, so don't give up, carry on, look for some help, PRAY, PRAY, PRAY! HE always hears. And take a really good care of your thoughts.. don't let the sadness fool you, Daddy has everything under control for a Greatness purpose.
“Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28.
Amen! It's difficult to cope with loss during this pandemic. The support of friends and family is definitely need but limited to phone calls. Just knowing that God will sustain me through this healing journey, gives me hope and joy.
Thanks for sharing Kathy, that's encouraging.
@Maribel Roman i came across your touching comment in the grieving of love ones post here on you tube. Well am really sorry about that okay 😒☹and I know how it feels to be lonely without our love ones, we've all lost our love ones in death one way or the other, either a spouse, child, family members, or a true friend that meant the world to us, such is life I understand how you feel but life must move on because death is inevitable no matter how hard we try! And we'll all have to face it someday!!!
I lost my paternal grandmother on Mother’s Day and soon after I had to return to training in the active duty army at 17 years old. I felt like life was picking up for me and when the months started passing life kind of gave me a reality check and here I am now trying to find my way 😢
I lost my 29 year old son 6 days ago. 6 days? I still feel like it was a few minutes ago that I got the call, raced to the hospital and watched them performing CPR. As I share this experience it's as if I am telling a story about someone else. I still feel it's a mightmare and that I'm going to wake up soon. It's not real. It didn't happen. It was just my overactive imagination. I dont even have my cat to hold because he died too 3 days ago. God feels distant and he seems unfair. I prayed for YEARS for my son's salvation. I dont have that assurance. I ask "why God?" Why did you not give him more years to decide to trust in you? Did he hear his mom whisper in his ear "turn to Jesus" at the moment his heart stopped? Did he do it? I just don't see a way out of this grief. I don't see my future without my only "child". And what about my very young Granddaughters who will grow up without their dad? I know God allowed this, but I can't stop questioning WHY.
May our Father give you the peace and strength.. the pain is a significant part of the unconditional love you had for your baby.. he is home now and I pray that can give you peace. I lost my mother when I was 19 im now 28 and just lost my grandfather who raised me . I know it is not the same as the loss of a child but I can promise if you stick to the narrow road you will see your baby again.. heaven is but a distance. ❤ God bless you .. the pain never goes away but I assure you he will provide peace that surpasses all understanding ❤
@@jadejonga532 Thank you dear. I'm sorry that you too have suffered many losses in your young life. May the Lord bless you always.
My childhood friend passed away. His wake is today. I just got off work. I'm in my driveway, listening to this. I will get ready, and head to the wake. "It's okay to not be okay." I needed to hear this. Thank you. If anyone comes across this comment, please keep me in your thoughts, and my friend's family in your prayers.
I'm in Australia and lost my daughter Christmas day and I'm still far from ok , but we will get there eventually .
Thank you for this. My husband and baby grandson passed away just over a year ago and my Pastor has told everyone to pray for me to stop my pity parties and feeling sorry for oneself. I was so shocked when I heard the prayer online and I had been led to believe that God didn’t like me for still being so sad. I know now that isn’t the case.
❤️
Malia Peat I'm so sorry for the loss of your husband and grandson. There's no time limit for grief. Your pastor was wrong, for telling you these things. Please, find another church to attend, this man is wrong to say there things to you.
I am sorry you have experienced this. People who don't know and understand can and definitely do say and do the wrong things.. you go ahead and give yourself permission to grieve the way you want to. I know, because my daughter went to heaven 7 years ago. I will see her again. Join a "Grief Share" group if you are able. All the people there understand because they have experienced loss. We are all different. God knows our hearts.
I'm very sorry about your husband, trust me I completely understand how you feel, I felt the same way when my wife past away June 4th 2018 grief is hard to deal with but we learn to live with it, where are you from ?
Thank you for your word and posting this video. I lost my girlfriend/ best friend to covid-19 October 17th 2020 her 40th birthday is coming up on May 12th. I know God will give me and others the strength to keep moving forward but today was just a tough morning and I needed some help thanks for tackling this topic.
Praying for you, DS.
I lost my mother yesterday... it still hasn't fully sunk in yet. Lots of questions for the future. She was our anchor. My phone is blowing up and I just want people to leave me and my son alone for a few days. So we can soak it in and grieve. I have family members calling and asking how I'm doing. That's an obvious answer. Regret, anger towards the health system, remorse that I couldn't be there when she passed, I left her a message on her phone knowing she had passed but maybe she can hear it heaven. She was a kind woman. And I miss her. All I think about now is the conversations we had and her laugh when I told a joke. I don't know what to do now...
So sorry for your loss, Steve. We're praying for you.
Lost my best friend, colleague and sister a month ago. Felt so broken and some days I have a physical pain on my heart as I miss her so much. I want to talk to her, hug her and just be silly as we used to. I'm sure God will take the pain away in time I'm just not there yet. I cry when I miss her, and that's alright. God was gracious to take her the way she died, without pain or fear and I can imagine her absolute joy being with Jesus whom she loved. But still, we that stayed behind miss her joyful smile and laughs. Miss you my sis
What i hate the most is when people say you're still grieving? Yes stupid that family member was a part of me.
They don't understand until it happens to them. Sometimes you just have to walk away.
I just lost my father. A hard working honest loving man. He was killed by two armed robbers breaking into his home for his money. They shot him infront of me. I'm crushed beyond words can explain, I don't ask anyone to pray for me but pray my father is happy in heaven with God🙏
I’m so sorry for your great loss
@@katrinamcgonagle6059 thank you for taking time out of your day to write me kind words. God bless you
That had to be awful to witness. How are you feeling lately?
@@Handlegrip worthless and finding it hard to live. I pray that God helps me
@@timjacobs2101 it is so hard to move on after losing your father. You must be going through a Rollercoaster of emotions lately. It sounds like your father was a good man. Sorry for your loss.
I am processing the sudden death of my Mom and this truly touched my spirit. Thank you Lord for this message. God bless you all!
God bless Kelley
My mom suddenly passed too. Wondering how you are doing
Lost my wife to colorectal cancer at the age of 52 Fought hard for two years and am grieving her. Love her
I lost my older sister 2 months ago! She was more than a sister. She was mom. And my best friend. She took a huge part of me with her. This video is the first thing I’ve watched. Read. That gave me some hope that I’m not loosing my mind and It’s normal ... it just hurts so much 😢
Margaret, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. As you said, there's hope, even though we know it's going to be hard. God loves you more than you know. Praying for you.
Ty 💔
Praying for you.
@Morgan Chase ty so much. I’m lost w/o her
@Morgan Chase Carbondale
I love a very close family friend in April about two years ago. It’s her birthday today and my birthday was Sunday. I’m thinking about her today. Jordan Lynae, I miss you every single day
I needed this so bad. My brother was shot and killed four days before this last Christmas. I am in pain.
I lost my hubby of 34years...im lost sad no appetite. Forgetful. Hurting and I can go on.. Im tired... My tummy hurts... All I say daily.. Lord I trust you.. I need you..
Im hit hard... Very hard hard.... I know God is with me🙏🙏
I’m very sorry about your husband trust me I completely understand how you feel, i lost my wife 2018 I can still feel the void in my heart, but I know she’s in a better place, time they say is the best healer especially when you’re with the right people, it'd be nice to talk to you more maybe have a great conversation if you dont mind send me your gmail adress so i could reach out on you .?

@@standubya23 god bless you brother
Thank you, my heart is broken, been 9 month and none the better, when I have flashback's it staggers me....please pray for me 🙏
This just hit the nail on the head. I just lost my Dad a week ago and it has been hard especially for my mom who is now a widow. Thank you Pastor for allowing God to speak through you in delivering this powerful yet comforting message.
.
I lost my mother and father back to back 2021 in November Some days it feels as if my heart is physically breaking. That's how much it hurts. I just hurt all over
My Husband went home 9 weeks ago and as soon as he let out his last breath he was standing in the presence of his Lord and Saviour. I am so very comforted by this. However, I’m left here. I’m nearly 66 years and I nursed Bas at home until he passed. How blessed was I to be able to do this but NOW, I’m lost. I pray and I know Jesus is watching out for me but I lie in Bed and eat myself silly while listening to Sermons. I’m tired and I have no interest in life. My Bas would tell me to wake up to myself, he say ‘I’m in Paradise, I’m with Jesus and other believers so what’s the problem’. I feel ashamed because I long to go home but not for the glory of Jesus, it’s because I’m selfish and I don’t want to feel this way, I want to escape and see my Husband again. Dear Lord, I do trust in you and I know when you said ‘let not your heart be troubled’ you must have meant me. I will go on and I will have bad days and good but my life IS different now, the only thing that hasn’t changed is you, my dear Saviour.
We're praying for you, Marie.
I'm very sorry about your husband, trust me I completely understand how you feel, I felt the same way when my wife past away June 4th 2018 grief is hard to deal with but we learn to live with it, where are you from.?
May God Bless everyone here who is hurting. I recently lost my wife of 25 years and miss her greatly. I thank God for the gift of having her in my life. I pray Jesus will heal us all. Amen 🙏🏿
Amen, Jason.
This has been so helpful to me, it’s helped me to realize that I am not going crazy. My heart is so broken. I pray God will continue to comfort me and heal my faith and heart. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing, Karla. We're glad that the message was encouraging to you in this time. Praying for your comfort.

Thank you sir , I lost my Dad on Saturday.. I needed this, I plan his funeral today.. I appreciate this video
So sorry for your loss, Holly. Praying for you.
I'm so sorry. Sending prayers.
Thank You. I know about the tsunami of loss first hand. My husband is gone 39 years. I still miss him every day. I, now remember all the happy times, but even the tough were good with him. Thank you Jesus for giving me Ron on this earth. I wait to join you & all my loved ones one day in my final home

So sorry to hear that Shenavian! We're praying for you.

I'm so sorry 😞
I am so, so sorry. My husband passed away suddenly on August 10th of this year and you are right... it is a pain unlike ANY pain that you can imagine. I don't even want to go on anymore. It's awful. Hope you are doing a little better now. I know it never goes away.... but I pray you have felt God's comfort.
Thank you so much for this powerful message. My Husband and Parents passed away in 2018. It is so very painful. I thank God for his Love and for sending good people into my Life to help me. God is with us🙏🏽❤

I lost my mom 2 months ago to covid pneumonia 💔💔💔 She was my best friend, my whole world. My life will never be the same. I'm struggling to pray now... This is the one thing I asked God never to do from the age of 4 😭
Very sorry for your loss.💝
😭😭😭😭
I lost my beautiful grandmother to that evil crap too
@@ORSkie thank you 😔🙏🏼
@@justagirlfromphoenix1023 I'm so sorry for your loss 💔😢 I know what that pain feels like
To have someone tell you its not ok for you to grieve hurts no matter the age. 😥
I lost my 6 years old son last August and its true a Tsunami of emotion strucks me. It's hard
I just lost my sister yesterday and the pain is unbearable. She was only 21 & left her 3 yesr old girl behind. I dont know how to live this life without her. We'd spend hours on FaceTime multiple times a week & just talk. Her last few months here she'd become so devoted to God and just this past weekend she'd attended a church retreat. Hearing you say that God knows & allows just confirms ny theory that he knew what was coming and prepared her, washed away all her sins to receive her into His kingdom. I miss her so much already & i know she'd be telling to listen to God & trust Him.
This helped me through a rough day. Thank you
Thanks for the encouraging comment Robert. Blessings to you this week.
It may sound silly, but I lost two pets in fairly quick succession in late 2020 and early 2021. The one-year anniversary of the second one passing is coming up, there are health issues in my family, and then there’s the whole thing in Ukraine...I had already been feeling anxious and depressed, but the past three days or so it’s just been overwhelming. I needed this message, and I needed the calming manner in which it was delivered. Thank you so much.
My ex-husband passed away 3/2023 this year. Neither of us married again after our divorce. Recently started thinking about him & had to pray again. Had sad, depressed, feelings of that void again. Probably need to talk to someone I trust. Ty for video.

Lost my dad yesterday from his alcohol addiction. Our parents have been divorced and we’ve been estranged from our father for almost 10 years, but my brother (not even 20 yet) and I are struggling with feeling so guilty and heartbroken for not having been able to mend our relationship on this earth. We were not gifted the chance to say goodbye. Please pray for us as we navigate this extremely painful end to a broken family and a broken relationship.
Hello sister, sending you & your family prayers & blessings. Most of the time we say “we will pray for you” & we do not.. even though we mean well. This is actually my first comment / reply to someone.
But your comment touched me, & I felt I wanted to reply. I also lost my father due to alcohol almost a year ago.
I might not know you personally but I can relate with the pain & feelings that come with this moment.
I will pray for you. & know you are loved by God. You are not alone. Your feelings are valid. May God give you strength. What has kept me going is Him alone. When you feel weak that is when God will give you strength. Trust in Him.
God bless you, & God bless your father. 🤍🕊️
I’m so happy I came across this video. I lost my boyfriend/ sons father due to gun violence Feb 10th of this year, 3 days later I found out I was pregnant with our 2nd child. It’s been extremely hard. I took everything but when reality hit it hit me in every way mentally physically emotionally I’m grieving now & some days I feel like I’m dying & I’m carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders but I’m pushing through. I now understand it’s okay to not be okay 🙏❤️
Just lost my older brother last Friday.. hadn’t spoke to him in 4 years, I’m 22 he was 30. I’m in Tatters thanks you for this video.
Praying for you Bobby
I lost my Dad 2 days ago and I feel utterly lost and now I will also have nowhere to live :-( dear god please save me xxx I feel so guilty that I wasn't there for him the way I should have been in the last weeks of his life, we barely saw each other despite living in the same house. I miss him more than I could imagine I ever would have..I love you DAD I love you :-(
I lost my brother unexpectedly and then my grandmother 34 days later it's been rough and I'm a preacher of the Gospel listen this hurts BAD!
Thank You! Grandma will not be here physically soon and she was so NICE and pure. 100 yrs . old I LOVE YOU GRANDMA!!! Its olay for me to grieve.
I really needed to hear this my bestfriend comitted suicide infront of everyone when I was 12 since than I just been surrounded by death losing everyone close to me and developing depression and trying to become numb to everyone and everything, I am now 33 still grieving from when I was 12
Thank you. I lost my dad at Christmas time. I’m finding it hard. I appreciate this.
I lost my wife in a horrific car crash some weeksago. A sight i will never forget. Neither of us were religious, but we had our beliefs. We are good people and respect others beliefs. I really like the way this guy talks. Maybe the church has some good ideas on this subject after all.
So sorry for your loss, Bob. We're praying for you.
I’m just so angry inside but I’m calm. My coworker has passed away and I have to accept that now. She was just here, it was the day before her birthday. It has to be foul play because my God wouldn’t do this. Not right before her birthday. She let everyone know when her birthday was lol the date, day and all. If my God did this I just don’t understand. I’ve been told we’re not suppose to understand which I can accept but just why. I know this is life ,but God help us. This is painful. Maybe it’s a lesson for me to wake and stop wasting time. I’m 18 years old and don’t move towards my future like I should ,but I have my heart in the future. I just keep seeing her and it hurts when I realize I really won’t see her no more.
I lost my husband to brain cancer on may 9, 2022, we shared 20+ years of loving, kind marriage. He was my life. The pain is great, I’m hurting. His words soothe my aching heart 💜
I am so deeply sorry. I lost my husband this month to leukemia - it was sudden and we had no idea he was even sick. It was beyond awful. He pretty much went to the ER for what he thought was poison ivy and ended up on a respirator that night unable to breathe and that was the last time I ever got to talk to him. It was brutal and devastating. He was my whole life and we just got married a couple of years ago. I just wanted to extend my empathy and sympathy. I am so sorry. I send you a big hug.
I understand. I lost my mom on May 6, 2022 from brain cancer too.
I’m so sorry. My son (age) lost his father to brain cancer this Dec. As his mom, it’s so hard.
@@michelleennis8195 I'm very sorry about your loss, trust me I completely understand how you feel, I felt the same way when my wife past away June 4th 2018 grief is hard to deal with but we learn to live with it, where are you from ?
What a comforting sermon, and what truth! My father passed away this year, and I felt like I'm going crazy with fluctuating grief related emotions. Thank God for the speaker of this heartfelt and understanding message about what grief is really like, that grief is not linear, and that it's not something that a person can just 'get over'. Thank you for the respectful tone you used to convey your message, without judgement, and without patronizing the one who is grieving. All the while, keeping it focused on the promises of God, that He will never forsake us, and that we are just passing through on this earth! There is hope after death for the believer in Christ, amen and amen! God bless you.
I lost my father in July, its November now, today after a long period of calm I wanted to reach to my phone and call my dad about all the good things that have happened and realised obviously I couldnt. This brought on a grief episode. After Dad's passing I rejoined the faith, this sermon however was something I needed today and I thank God for showing it to me.
Please pray for me and my family and my children, Please pray for me to get over this grief, and for the strength to go on. I just lost my dear mother Virginia Hamilton yesterday at 1:20 pm. All praises to our Heavenly Father.
Praying for all of you...
Thank you, I needed to hear this. My mum went to be with The Lord on Friday just gone. I've never known heartache like it. Thank you
We all will have to deal with loss and it's an unfortunate part of life that hurt so bad, not only does it hurt, it is the worst part of life, the way i see it my passed loved ones didn't die, i see them as being called by God, and believe he has better plans for them in his world, to die is to cease to exist but our loves one's never cease to exist, they transition to a better place.
Loosing my mother at 59 last year was a knock out!! 😥
