Thank you for those scripture verses. It is the EVE before my son, Tyler's funeral so the grief is gut wrenching and ripping me apart. Both of my pets have also died within the past 90 days, one being 3 days after my son. Tyler had an electrical malfunction in his heart causing him to go down into sudden cardiac arrest and they were unable to revive him. I cannot imagine EVER being ok again to be quite honest. I think "just surviving " will be the new norm. Thanksgiving is this week, then my birthday, then Christmas. Not having Tyler anymore has forever changed this time of year. Im ready for Jesus to just come back. I cannot cope anymore.
@NoMoreTears64 I can relate, unfortunately. I know what survive mode feels like. I am so sorry to hear about your son. Life can be brutal. But, the Lord helped me and I know He will be there for you too. I'll be praying for you during this very hard time. ❤
Bless you Betty for your lovely kind manner and tender heart. You are safe person and I suspect a friend for life. May the holiday season be one of sweetness in the knowledge of who Our Lord is and His love for you especially. ❤️🦋🇦🇺
Thank you Betty for sharing, Christmas eve was our special time together for me and my daughter, i looked forward to it more than birthdays, she slept over every year, and now since she passed away i really do not know how i will survive it, i really really do not know how i will, my family are not that great, and i just cannot think of going to someone elses house cos who will want me sobbing all day, i feel so troubled and i am asking that Jesus will do something special to help me he is all i really have, and he is better than a friend, but christmas is for family and they are nowhere at all, she was my world my beautiful Kelly and i cannot imagine what it will be like. i wish i could run away and never come back.
Jacqueline bless your heart. I realize this is not a happy place to be. But God does know our situation and he will keep us under his wing like the description says.
Sorry Jacqueline, I hit enter before I finished my comment... Scripture tells us that God will not put on us more than we can bear without giving us a way of escape. So think about doing something different this Christmas. Maybe a cruise? I have thought about doing that for years. Whatever you decide, think of your sweet daughter and include her in making a new memory at Christmas. I will be praying for you. God bless you today tomorrow and always.
Hello Betty, I lost my only son in September 28 ,2020 he was killed in a motorcycle accident in front of our neighborhood. I was truly blessed I was not here and about 45 mins away as my sister-in-law’s moms memorial service she had passed away a week earlier .everyone knew my son they knew the motorcycle he rode so they knew it was him. Back story almost a year just shy of 2 weeks he and best friend where riding home from Galveston it was late I told them earlier not to stay on the island that late . Well you know what it’s like they are strong headed and left just before midnight they planned to stop for gas just off the island and they both made that plan beforehand . Cody his friend had one of those bikes that could go from 0-200 in now time . My son Michael tried to keep up but he rode a chopper one of those low riding bikes with the wide handlebars . Michael lost sight of Cody and he figured he would just see him at the fuel stop. As my son took the tight right turn off the freeway he wreaked into something when he got up and was aware of what it was he knew it was his friend . Piece of his motorcycle everywhere but no sign of Cody.a wonderful woman how saw Cody’s wreak less driving and saw saw my son crash she was taking the same exit. When she got to my son he was in shock. Cody was gone but the woman from the scene called me from her phone I guess my son gave it to her and said your boys where in accident. I immediately started asking which one which one then I heard my son screaming from the ambulance Mama he dead Cody’s dead. The police told me over the phone because they had no other why to contact his family at that time. The only number I had was to his brother Clint I did not know where he had moved to or I would have delivered this news in person. I had to tell him over the phone just after midnight his baby brother was gone.Flash forward to the night Michael died it was 5:26 rode was very busy . Because of the accident they closed down the rode but who happened to be at the gas station just after it happened was Clint Cody’s older brother and Michaels other friend Matt there was no mistaking Michaels bike bright shamrock greens with a lucky clover on the back fender. They rushed to him and where there when he for the most part had passed . They got him back and transported him by life flight they where with him till they took off they lost him on the flight he my Angel was take to heaven . Clint had to make the same phone call to me that I had to make a year earlier. Of course he did not know for sure but he knew and wanted me to be prepared. I knew right then he was gone a mother just knows and Clint was,supporting me . Two best friends together in heaven leaving this world doing what they loved . I am comforted in the fact Michaels was with Cody and blessed that the Lord put Clint there on that day,because he never goes that way home EVER. My child was not alone and some many there knew him . I got to the hospital and of course they put you in that room that unfortunately I had been way to often in my life the doctor walked in and the Chaplin behind her and even though from what Clint said when the doctors told me I fully collapsed on the floor. He left behind a beautiful sister Katie and his 2 year old son that will never know his daddy. I feel ripped off he was just going to have a ride with his uncle to get dinner and talk then come back here later to hang out with me on the porch and have a beer. He had been riding motorcycle since he was 3 it was in his blood and he was GOOD . I am truly grateful God took him doing what he loved. He would always tell me mom I could never explain to you what it’s like to be on my bike it’s the only place where my head is quiet. The first year seemed ok and his birthday came and I fell apart. Pretty much lost it gained 70lbs in less than 9 months that’s made me even more depressed I know he would want me to get on with it and make sure his son never forgets him. I see him once a month she moved out of town with a Jace he is the light of my life and just turned 4. I understand your story because both our sons where thrill seekers and in the end they died doing what they loved that’s what I try and keep telling myself ,but he was on 25 I will never see him marry or have another child. I just feel ROBBED. I would love to share my sons picture with his son ,but I,don’t think I can post it here. Here is me email debbi371@ymail.com Your video gave me hope that there is light in all this grief, thank you Betty from the bottom of my heart , Debbie in Texas magicalbutter.com/products/fantastic-4-pack-gummy-bundle?variant=41531403108508 #michaelsmama4ever25
@@deborahschmidt9954 its ok Deborah about the attached link. Something similar has happened to me. Thank for sharing what happened to not only Michael but Cody. I also gained weight from being depressed. I'm working on eating healthier so I'll start feeling better. Its easier putting it on then taking it off especially in the circumstances. Please send the picture on Facebook @ Betty Lansford or @ Betty Lansford Art. If that doesn't work, let me know. Thank you for staying in touch. I'll be praying for you. Please pray for me. 🙏
My son died suddenly on december 7th , he was 40 years old . he had a hard life battling schitophrenia , he was always my golden boy . I could always see his true self , kind , loving , never complained . Most of his family deserted him , but i was always there , he loved me . I pray every night that god will take me to be with him .
@@sandrahedley1866 I'm so sorry to hear about your son. You are in my prayers Sandra. Its never easy but with God's help we make it through each day. Sending Hugs ❤
Thanks Betty. My son been gone 18 months now. I was completely down for 2 months. Thanks so much for your braveness to be able to speak of your loss and pain to comfort others. Thanks for your readings ❤️
My gosh! This is so hard. Lost my oldest last month and I wish the holiday season would just zip on by. So painful and traumatic. I keep seeing her as a child which really breaks my heart over and over. My Lauren was so sweet and compassionate. I feel the void daily but I know God will get me through this. God bless you 🙏 ❤
Monica I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your sweet Lauren. The holiday season is hard but Lord will help you and all of us to get through. Thank you for watching the video. I pray that you will be comforted with the peace of God. I will be praying for you. 💕🙏💕
This was my first Christmas without my 22 yr old daughter Bekah. It was hard but me and my other kids made it through. God bless you and thank you for your videos. You are so comforting and kind. ❤️🩹
Christian I want to say thank you for watching and I appreciate you commenting. You may have heard me comment that I lost my son during the holidays. It is extremely hard when you're going through grief and everyone expects you to be happy. You can feel like you are throwing water on everyone's joyous moments... it's okay. My family and I went through a couple of years of crying during these times (supposedly for everyone else) of joy and happiness because it is the holidays. You know what as I said earlier, that's OK. It will get better. I'm so sorry for your loss. I will be praying for you.

Yes you are so right about that. The grief I was experiencing was so engulfing. I personally could not have made it without the help of the Lord.
