Watch Luke’s celebration of life here: • Luke Stilwell | A Ce... Thank you for praying, supporting, and all of your encouragement. I’m so thankful for you 🤍
I heard a child describe grief once. He said the reason the heart hurts so bad when we lose someone we love is because it's growing bigger to keep all the memories in it. It's the most profound explanation I've ever experienced.
I was married to the love of my life for 42 years. He passed away in his sleep right next to me. The suddenness and shock will probably never leave. The night before, he was energetic, laughing, normal and full of life. May God be with you and all of us that have suffered great loss. Some days are unbearable but somehow we get through them. Never give up hope and faith.❤️🙏❤️🙏
I’m so sorry. I very suddenly and unexpectedly lost my husband almost 4 months ago. I’m still in shock. It just doesn’t seem real. We were together for 22 years and he was my best friend and my soulmate. I’m just shattered and lost. 💔😢
My boyfriend passed away September 18th 2022. I'm struggling so bad right now. I will never wish this pain on anyone. This is a club nobody wants to be a part of
I found this video by accident. Watching it and reading the comments has been heartbreaking. I want to send love to anyone reading this who is struggling with a close death. Seek comfort in friends and family and please, please, please, take care and stay safe.
I really appreciate this. I lost my husband 2 months ago. My grief is so intense. I would not be able to do this without Gid. Like your Luke, My Gary is joyful in Jesus arms.
My boyfriend died a week and a half ago and it is one of the hardest losses I have ever had. It's so hard. Our last day together was one of the best also and we were together the whole day. I'm sorry for your loss
My oldest son died unexpectedly 3 years ago. I miss him every day. There is a song called Scars in Heaven that blesses my soul whenever I hear it because it is exactly what I would say to my son if I could. Thank God he was a believer. I know God will cover your heart with His grace.
Scars in Heaven is my song for my dad, ❤ He passed away suddenly Easter of 2021. I miss him everyday, I still cry every week. My heart misses him greatly.
My husband had back surgery he had a respiratory arrest and was left with seizures. When his seizures were finally under control he was diagnosed with cancer he was gone within a month. I can’t believe how every minute without him seems an eternity yet the years slip away. I hope in time happy memories will take the pain away
I so needed to hear this! It is so much my story, too. I had exactly the same anger and still dealing with the grief journey. The love of my life lost his year long battle with cancer two months ago. He was so vibrant and healthy with an incredible smile, laugh, and giving heart. It took us decades of failed relationship for God to bring us together. We only had seven years to share the deepest love either of us have known before cancer leaped in. The first six months the chemo worked. After the first of the year and more chemo, it took a turn. He lived 100 miles away and hid it from me. I was caretaking my mother...Mom to him...and he wanted to protect us. No matter how much he suffered, he never wavered in I did take him home cooked food 12 days before he passed on to heaven. He is in my heart every day. We were married in our hearts long ago. You are right. We and these other parts of us do indeed belong to God and His plan and caring far exceed our understanding. Bless the message and words you shared.
I’ve had epilepsy for 26 years. Seizures have always been a scary thing to have, because you never know if a day will come when you have one that you’ll never come back from. Rest in peace, Luke.
My husband of 21 1/2 years, passed away in February at the age of 51 from Covid. Never been sick a day in his life. You are so right, your whole life can change in an instant. Prayers to you my friend.
I’m so so sorry for your loss. A month ago we almost lost my 57 year old mom from Covid. She was sedated for an entire week and on a ventilator/intubated. I really didn’t think she would make it.
@@cherubcherrycola2382 I’m so happy she did… I was in icu for 9 weeks with Covid. They almost intubated me. I don’t think I would be here if I had been. My family was told twice that I likely wouldn’t make it. I turned 50 inside Mayo Clinic. I’m still on oxygen over a year later, but so grateful to be here.
Amy, I cannot pretend to imagine the pain that you are in. I live in fear of losing my husband every day and have for 20 years. I watch him drive to work and back every night as he barely sleeps over shared location. I am so sorry for your untimely loss of your love. Covid is so awful and so damn hard. I don’t think people really understand it. I’m just sorry. Love to you and peace in your memories together with him ❤🦋
The way you are able to keep your trust in the Lord is truly inspiring. Pain of loss never goes away but it will get easier. Thank you for being open about your story.
@@khalilahd. My Sweet Baby girl stuffed dog Casy have sadly passed away from her injury after her brith She didn't make it it was very hard for me Please Pray for me
Sudden deaths are BRUTAL. My grandmother had a stoke on May 15, recovered slightly, then had a significant neurological episode between midnight and 1AM on May 16, and never regained consciousness. She died shortly after 11AM that day, with me holding her hand as she took her final breath. I can't put into words how devastating it was and still is. When you described how it keeps replaying in your head, I almost cried. I know how you feel.
I lost my dog to Epilepsy. On his last 48 hours of life, he had a seizure every 5 mins. He was only 3 years old and was the most lovable dog. It was so scary. Sending you so much love 🤍
I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss ❤Thankyou for being open with where you’re at in grief and where Luke was at in his faith before his passing ❤ proud of you 🙏
To be able to cry helps with your grief. My husband passed away in 7 June 2021. God gives you the strength, and the grace to live through your grief. God doesn't make us put up with more than we can bare. God gives the strength to get through the experiences we experience. We will miss those we have been with. But we can't hold them back because they had another phase in their lives to go on to. Keep praying God knows and comforts.
Oh Sophia, I am so sorry for your loss and praying for you and sending you hugs. Your strength is amazing and you continue to inspire me,we are here for you and thank you for being open about such a difficult time
I have been watching your videos with Luke for years. They were so comforting to me especially during the pandemic. I am sending all my best wishes, love, and healing. May Luke rest in peace. The world has lost a beautiful and compassionate person. Heaven has gained a new angel. ❤🕊️
This really touched my heart. I lost my boyfriend 5 months ago in May 1. Same day, what a coincidence. I deeply resonated with everything you said and make me feel understood on how it feels to lose ur favorite person in the world, even tho you don’t really lose them they are just home like you said. I long to come back home but since im here now i wanna let god transform my heart and surrender to life. trust. I send u a big hug and a lot of love. Thank you for talking about this
I'm so sorry for you're loss. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. May God continue to give you peace and strength during this difficult time.
My son passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on July 23rd. I have to say you have described all of us to a 'T'. From the questions to God and waves of emotion to realizing the Lords ways being higher than ours...it does not remove the deep pain and sorrow but it reminds us we are not our own. He left a wife and 7 year old son. The Lord is faithful and is keeping us all through this hard time. Thank you for sharing. I will share this with my family and perhaps they can find refuge in the Strong Tower that is Christ. Praying for you all.
Randomly came across this video, and your trust in God is so inspiring. I lost my dad almost 6 years ago, and it still feels like yesterday. Your trust in God through all of this reminds me to put my trust back into God. I’m so sorry for your loss.
I’m really sorry for your loss... I literally cried while watching this video😢 I will pray for you and those around you who had been in the hardest time. You are inspiring in so many ways. Love from Japan
I’m glad to have come across your channel today! I pray that God is continuing to comfort you. Luke’s legacy absolutely will live on. I watched his celebration of life service you gave us the link to, and it was something I needed today! Thank you!
I just randomly came across this video and wanted to say that I definitely feel like Luke's soul nudged you to continue your passion (making videos). Of course, please grieve and take your time. Another thing, it's a very good thing that he met you and got the chance to spend time with you, I'm sure the moments you both spent together met a lot to him as well. I know it may seem weird to just have a random passerby write a random message like this, but sometimes I feel guided to do so. I'm not sure if it will help in any way, but I do send love and light to help with your healing.
Thank you so much for posting this. I have been praying for you and thinking about you since May when I first heard about this. I am so sorry. Your faith in God is truly so inspiring and helped me out of a season where I felt a little lost in my faith. I will continue praying for you!
My boyfriend’s name was also Luke. He passed 3 years ago from an overdose. Only thing I can say is trust in Gods plan and one day at a time…thats gotten me this far ❤
You are truly remarkable. I am sorry you have to go through this. You're message of faith & joy is incredible. I'm now a subscriber. You're a light, thank you😌💛
I’m so sorry to hear that Sophia. Thanks for opening up. I know it’s hard to be vulnerable so I appreciate you sharing this with us. I send you a big hug ❤❤❤
You delivered your message so gracefully. I wanted to reach through the screen and give you a hug. I lost my father this May and it hurt so much. I found peace in the grief journey that God knew it was time for my dad to be called Home. I’m sorry for your loss 🤍
Sophia, what a blessing you are. It is so special to have such a perspective in the midst of such loss. I have subscribed to you for years and although you don’t know me you feel akin to a big sister for me and I can confidently say you have affected my faith more than any other factor in my life. I have had the special joy of growing up alongside you, and I am absolutely devastated to hear about your loss. Your strength is abundant and your compassionate, steadfast faith will carry you the rest of the way. You are in my prayers always.❤
It is inspiring to see your Trust in the Lord through this difficult time. I lost my father back in December after unexpected illness sent him to the hospital just a month before. I have my moments of grief and sorrow, but it is always accompanied by a feeling of comfort. The way you kept using the word “season” hit my heart, because that is the same word I use to describe this timeframe. Life changed in an instant and I needed to learn how to live and adapt to that change, and it is simply a part of God’s plan for me. Just as it is for you. The loss of someone we love could ruin us, but it can also transform us. I have changed for the better in these past few months, and I know there is greater purpose to grief. I am incredibly thankful for every moment I had with him, and even more so that God gifted me such a loving earthly father. I will pray for all affected by the loss of Luke- may his soul rest in peace.
Ive been there girl. Give yourself time to heal. It never goes away but it forms you as a person. Embrace it all, he was here for a reason and you're here with this experience for a reason too. They never really leave us...sending love ❤️
I have a younger sister, she has non verbal autism and has seizures every month. I can only understand so much of what has happened to you. I cannot imagine what it would be like to lose her like how you lost Luke. Thank you for sharing your story and your testimony, sophia. I’m praying for you, God is the one who can do the impossible. Let his love comfort you during this time.
I’m so very sorry for your loss. Your continued faith makes me feel hope. I appreciate that you told us your thoughts about God during this hard time. I believe your story will help many people.
Thank you for sharing Luke’s story with us. Your page popped up today and I am so glad that I took the time to watch it. Your words and faith in God speak volumes and I am sure you have touched many people. I hope you will continue to post and I wish you much success with your business ventures. May God continue to bless you.
this is the most encouraging video ! thank u for sharing! i’ve never watched ur videos but so thankful that this one popped up ! i went back & watched some of the videos w him in it, he seems like he really loved u : ) praying for your healing rn !
Thank you for sharing your story. Luke had a beautiful life, and although I never knew him, this has brought tears to my eyes. The love of Jesus will always be able to get us through these difficult times in life. Your strength and grace is so incredible. God Bless you. ♥
I am truly so moved by this video. I lost a family friend a few weeks ago and it has been so hard. It has caused me to deep dive into podcasts about Christian suffering. This video was so helpful and your outlook is amazing. I got chills when you mentioned he is not yours but he is God’s - wow
Sophia, I almost cried watching this video. You are an amazing person and I love you all the way from Massachusetts. I missed your videos soooooooooo much and this was a hard video to post but you did it!! I am so PROUD OF YOU! 👼👼👼👼👼👼👼
This came up on my stream this morning. It touched me so much! Luke sounds like a wise & beautiful young man. He is in the arms of our Lord now and at peace. I am so sorry for your loss. 🙏❤️🙏
Your testimony is such encouragement, thank you, when you said "they belong to God, and not us" that struck me so much ....as i miss those who have passed...every day is difficult, but we can only do this with God....knowing one day we will all be reunited at our real HOME!!! With love and prayer from Cape Town South Africa ♥️🇿🇦♥️
Thank you for sharing this about Luke’s seizures and your love for him! My nieces of 40 yrs has been having seizures for 3 yrs now and knowing at any one time she could be gone. Because of her seizures (sometimes 7 in a row) has caused memory loss. Thank you for also showing even a God loving person can still be mad and angry that He took a love away from them!! Bless you sweetie and prayers for your continued healing! 🙏🙏
Wow, Sophia, though this video is hard, and what you've gone through is so hard, a real and visible strength from God is so apparent in you. I'm so proud of the way you've pursued the Lord in the midst of painful grief, and with it, authentically shown others His goodness--even when things aren't good. I'm so glad that I have watched you since you were 15, but more importantly, seen your faith grow and change and inspire. So thankful for you, your obedience to Christ, and your light for the Kingdom. Praying for and over you, that you can say like Luke (or what you said he would say), "...but I trust God."
I’m so sorry for your loss❤️ it’s a truly sad story and the fact that you had to go through it is so much harder. I’m sure he’s looking over you with love and protection. Never forget you’ll see him again one day❤️
Sophia, this is absolutely beautiful. I have tears welling up in my eyes as I write this. Yours and Luke's testimony is indescribably evident of the Lord's faithfulness and how He brings people together and writes our stories. Your trust and dependence in Him in the midst of your grief opened my eyes. Your testimony has shown me how I should walk day to day in faith during the season I find myself in. Thank you so much. I pray that He blesses you from the top of your head to the soles of your feet. May He grant you peace for the days ahead. ❤
I am so sorry for your loss ❤ I will be praying for everyone affected by Luke’s passing. This is the first video I’ve ever seen of you. You seem so genuine in your faith and love for God and Luke. It made me feel pulled to become closer to God and find my faith again ❤
I lift you and Luke's family and friends in prayer! Your testimony speaks volumes! I think that you should write a book about your experience. God bless you!
You and your precious Luke are a testament to never take living for granted! We are here to share God's love! This is the first time I am seeing your channel and I will be following and sharing your story! 🥺 God bless you!
Bless you Sophia for your faith & gratitude to God! Grief is so difficult & one truly feels like the heart is broken. We have to remember that when we pray for the healing of someone or for God to take us out of a bad situation & it doesn't turn out like we hoped, sometimes the answer or the blessing is in God just getting us through it. Keep the faith as you are. God used you in this video to help someone who needed to hear your words about faith & loss. I'm sure Luke smiled & cried to hear your words.
A refreshing example of grief displayed. The Holy Spirit working through you to help those who see this video, know that God is truly in control and to put our focus on how good He is amidst our losses. It seems we are borrowed those we love; we never truly lose anyone. We can look at it as what we gained and that we had an amazing connection with someone on this earth. ❤Prayers as you continue the journey of life
My best friend died from a seizure a few years ago, that pain of knowing she's never coming back still hurts to this day. I'm so sorry for your loss and his family's loss as well. Your in my thoughts and prayers 🙏
Sophia, I am so so sorry for your loss. This year I’ve lost my grandpa and my dog, so I can understand the shallow parts of the immense depths of pain you are in. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Xoxo
I so relate to you. I lost my husband of 33 years 7 months ago. It is so painful. God was the center of our relationship. I trust God will reveal the purpose He has for my life. God is really using you. God bless you always.
I am a 60 yr old lady. The words you have spoken here, today, has helped me!! You are wise. Thank you so much. I am so sorry for your loss. God Bless you now and always!!!
Depending on The Lord like a newborn baby! I 100% have said that. Alone with still saying that in my own ways. Hearing your heart for The Lord is so beautiful. Makes me feel 😌 joy just hearing your words. I lost my Father in 2000 when I was 15 that was the moment my heart broke but also grew so so large for Jesus and my faith. God Bless. Sending my thoughts and prayers from Wasilla Alaska, Tschandra
My heart has been breaking for you Sophia. To see what joy and love you and Luke shared made me so happy after watching you for some time. I’ll continue to pray for you, his family, and those around him who miss him dearly. Thank you for coming on here and sharing such a strong testimony of faith in the Lord. 🤍
Your video just popped up on my feed. It was beautifully spoken, as well as broke my heart. Sending so much love & many prayers ♥️ God will continue to heal & comfort you 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for this video. I lost my 27 year old daughter 5 years ago. I am so sorry for your loss. I really felt it when you said you felt panic as time passes...I still feel that periodically. May God continue to comfort you.
I am so sorry to hear about Luke. One of my friends son, he was around 18, started having seizures…. He went to doctors and couldn’t control them completely. One morning he went to take a bath and he passed away in the tub. It was so tragic. Sending prayers for you all.
I heard a child describe grief once. He said the reason the heart hurts so bad when we lose someone we love is because it's growing bigger to keep all the memories in it. It's the most profound explanation I've ever experienced.
Kids always come up with the craziest stuff lol
@Green Rose Seriously?!????
I do not think I have ever heard of it described so eloquently.❤

I was married to the love of my life for 42 years. He passed away in his sleep right next to me. The suddenness and shock will probably never leave. The night before, he was energetic, laughing, normal and full of life. May God be with you and all of us that have suffered great loss. Some days are unbearable but somehow we get through them.

Having epilepsy for 12 years now, having a siezure in my sleep and never waking up is my worst nightmare. I'm praying for you. May he rest easy.
@Jesus is the Lord do you believe in The Name Yahusha?
If the letter J is less than 600 years old His Name can’t be Jesus. I’m not trying to be snarky at all just trying to spread knowledge of His Name. ❤
That’s one of my biggest fears, too!
@Jesus is the Lord that’s not His Name
It is Yashua and Jesus the same

I’m so sorry to hear that Sophia. Thanks for opening up. I know it’s hard to be vulnerable so I appreciate you sharing this with us. I send you a big hug ❤❤❤
You delivered your message so gracefully. I wanted to reach through the screen and give you a hug. I lost my father this May and it hurt so much. I found peace in the grief journey that God knew it was time for my dad to be called Home. I’m sorry for your loss 🤍
Sophia, what a blessing you are. It is so special to have such a perspective in the midst of such loss. I have subscribed to you for years and although you don’t know me you feel akin to a big sister for me and I can confidently say you have affected my faith more than any other factor in my life. I have had the special joy of growing up alongside you, and I am absolutely devastated to hear about your loss. Your strength is abundant and your compassionate, steadfast faith will carry you the rest of the way. You are in my prayers always.❤
It is inspiring to see your Trust in the Lord through this difficult time. I lost my father back in December after unexpected illness sent him to the hospital just a month before. I have my moments of grief and sorrow, but it is always accompanied by a feeling of comfort. The way you kept using the word “season” hit my heart, because that is the same word I use to describe this timeframe. Life changed in an instant and I needed to learn how to live and adapt to that change, and it is simply a part of God’s plan for me. Just as it is for you. The loss of someone we love could ruin us, but it can also transform us. I have changed for the better in these past few months, and I know there is greater purpose to grief. I am incredibly thankful for every moment I had with him, and even more so that God gifted me such a loving earthly father.
I will pray for all affected by the loss of Luke- may his soul rest in peace.
Ive been there girl. Give yourself time to heal. It never goes away but it forms you as a person. Embrace it all, he was here for a reason and you're here with this experience for a reason too. They never really leave us...sending love ❤️
Sending you so so so much love, I am so so sorry for your loss 🥺🙏 and I’m praying for you. I couldn’t even imagine losing a love like that
Love that! Showing God’s goodness even through this pain and suffering 🤍🕊️ Glory to God. May your story be heard by others out there. God bless you!
I have a younger sister, she has non verbal autism and has seizures every month. I can only understand so much of what has happened to you. I cannot imagine what it would be like to lose her like how you lost Luke. Thank you for sharing your story and your testimony, sophia. I’m praying for you, God is the one who can do the impossible. Let his love comfort you during this time.
I’m so sorry for your loss, I’m sending you so much love.

Condolences for your loss, and admiration for such courageous spirit. May the Lord bless and guide you.
I am truly so moved by this video. I lost a family friend a few weeks ago and it has been so hard. It has caused me to deep dive into podcasts about Christian suffering. This video was so helpful and your outlook is amazing. I got chills when you mentioned he is not yours but he is God’s - wow
I have no words💔 I’m so sorry for you’re loss😔 take as much time as you need and don’t put pressure yourself. 💕
Sophia, I almost cried watching this video. You are an amazing person and I love you all the way from Massachusetts.
I missed your videos soooooooooo much and this was a hard video to post but you did it!! I am so PROUD OF YOU!
👼👼👼👼👼👼👼
This came up on my stream this morning. It touched me so much!
Luke sounds like a wise & beautiful young man. He is in the arms of our Lord now and at peace. I am so sorry for your loss. 🙏❤️🙏
grief never goes away but we have to stay strong! i lost the love of my life 5 years ago suddenly in a road rage incident. i am praying for you! ❤
So sorry for your loss thank you for sharing your personal grief. I hope you continue to heal.
sophia im so so sorry for your loss. i cannot imagine losing someone so special. sending so much love to you
Your testimony is such encouragement, thank you, when you said "they belong to God, and not us" that struck me so much ....as i miss those who have passed...every day is difficult, but we can only do this with God....knowing one day we will all be reunited at our real HOME!!! With love and prayer from Cape Town South Africa ♥️🇿🇦♥️
Hello how are you doing?
Thank you for sharing this about Luke’s seizures and your love for him! My nieces of 40 yrs has been having seizures for 3 yrs now and knowing at any one time she could be gone. Because of her seizures (sometimes 7 in a row) has caused memory loss. Thank you for also showing even a God loving person can still be mad and angry that He took a love away from them!! Bless you sweetie and prayers for your continued healing! 🙏🙏
Sorry for your loss stay strong you will come back stronger God bless you ❤️🕊️

Wow, Sophia, though this video is hard, and what you've gone through is so hard, a real and visible strength from God is so apparent in you. I'm so proud of the way you've pursued the Lord in the midst of painful grief, and with it, authentically shown others His goodness--even when things aren't good. I'm so glad that I have watched you since you were 15, but more importantly, seen your faith grow and change and inspire. So thankful for you, your obedience to Christ, and your light for the Kingdom. Praying for and over you, that you can say like Luke (or what you said he would say), "...but I trust God."
I’m so sorry for your loss❤️ it’s a truly sad story and the fact that you had to go through it is so much harder. I’m sure he’s looking over you with love and protection. Never forget you’ll see him again one day❤️
Sophia, this is absolutely beautiful. I have tears welling up in my eyes as I write this. Yours and Luke's testimony is indescribably evident of the Lord's faithfulness and how He brings people together and writes our stories. Your trust and dependence in Him in the midst of your grief opened my eyes. Your testimony has shown me how I should walk day to day in faith during the season I find myself in. Thank you so much. I pray that He blesses you from the top of your head to the soles of your feet. May He grant you peace for the days ahead. ❤
I’m so impressed by your faith Sophia. Keep believing. And I’m so sorry for your loss. Keep fighting
I am so sorry for your loss ❤ I will be praying for everyone affected by Luke’s passing. This is the first video I’ve ever seen of you. You seem so genuine in your faith and love for God and Luke. It made me feel pulled to become closer to God and find my faith again ❤
Hugs and prayers to you and Luke's family. Feel what you need to feel. Grief has no timeline.
From a fellow sister in Christ you are such an inspiration and it’s so evident God has his hand on you
I have so much admiration for your faith. You are still helping him bring people closer to God.
Wow, a life changing testimony. It opened my eyes for my grief as well. Thank you. May God continue to be you guide and light. Yours in Christ
I lift you and Luke's family and friends in prayer! Your testimony speaks volumes! I think that you should write a book about your experience. God bless you!
You and your precious Luke are a testament to never take living for granted! We are here to share God's love! This is the first time I am seeing your channel and I will be following and sharing your story! 🥺 God bless you!
Bless you Sophia for your faith & gratitude to God! Grief is so difficult & one truly feels like the heart is broken. We have to remember that when we pray for the healing of someone or for God to take us out of a bad situation & it doesn't turn out like we hoped, sometimes the answer or the blessing is in God just getting us through it. Keep the faith as you are. God used you in this video to help someone who needed to hear your words about faith & loss. I'm sure Luke smiled & cried to hear your words.
so sorry for your loss. this is such a hard season to be in & you are handling it with such grace. wishing you the absolute best.
God bless ❤
A refreshing example of grief displayed. The Holy Spirit working through you to help those who see this video, know that God is truly in control and to put our focus on how good He is amidst our losses. It seems we are borrowed those we love; we never truly lose anyone. We can look at it as what we gained and that we had an amazing connection with someone on this earth. ❤Prayers as you continue the journey of life
My heart is shattered for you💔 Luke seemed like a beautiful human being. You’re so strong and I hope you heal well🤍
My best friend died from a seizure a few years ago, that pain of knowing she's never coming back still hurts to this day. I'm so sorry for your loss and his family's loss as well. Your in my thoughts and prayers 🙏
Sophia, I am so so sorry for your loss. This year I’ve lost my grandpa and my dog, so I can understand the shallow parts of the immense depths of pain you are in. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Xoxo
I so relate to you. I lost my husband of 33 years 7 months ago. It is so painful. God was the center of our relationship. I trust God will reveal the purpose He has for my life. God is really using you. God bless you always.
I am a 60 yr old lady. The words you have spoken here, today, has helped me!! You are wise. Thank you so much. I am so sorry for your loss. God Bless you now and always!!!
Depending on The Lord like a newborn baby! I 100% have said that. Alone with still saying that in my own ways. Hearing your heart for The Lord is so beautiful. Makes me feel 😌 joy just hearing your words. I lost my Father in 2000 when I was 15 that was the moment my heart broke but also grew so so large for Jesus and my faith. God Bless. Sending my thoughts and prayers from Wasilla Alaska,
Tschandra
I’m so sorry for your loss and I love your testimony. It is so refreshing to hear you put all of your faith in God who heals. Many prayers for you.
My heart has been breaking for you Sophia. To see what joy and love you and Luke shared made me so happy after watching you for some time. I’ll continue to pray for you, his family, and those around him who miss him dearly. Thank you for coming on here and sharing such a strong testimony of faith in the Lord. 🤍
Bless you darling. I'm sorry you've lost your love Luke. I believe we will see all the ones we hold dear again one day. Love and peace Sophie ❤️🕊️❤️
I am very sorry for your loss! Sending you love and prayers…❤️🌷
Thank you for sharing, continual prayers for you. Continue clinging to the Lord
Your video just popped up on my feed. It was beautifully spoken, as well as broke my heart. Sending so much love & many prayers ♥️ God will continue to heal & comfort you 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for this video. I lost my 27 year old daughter 5 years ago. I am so sorry for your loss. I really felt it when you said you felt panic as time passes...I still feel that periodically. May God continue to comfort you.
Hello how are you doing?
So sorry for your loss sending prayers 🙏🏻❤️
I am so sorry to hear about Luke. One of my friends son, he was around 18, started having seizures…. He went to doctors and couldn’t control them completely. One morning he went to take a bath and he passed away in the tub. It was so tragic. Sending prayers for you all.
