I remember when this tragedy took place. I prayed that the Lord would comfort and bring hope to this family. Watching this testimony was like watching a prayer being answered before my eyes.
Yes, I’ve lost my only two children. Jesus literally is continuing to hold my hand and has revealed Himself. I know without a doubt this world is temporary and I do have a purpose and I’m not alone in grief. Oddly enough I’ve worked on Monuments for almost 30 years, and know there is much more that we cannot see with human eyes
I'm soooo sorry for your loss. I hear that losing a child is the greatest grief. And you lost both. May God, your heavenly Father, heal your heart and help you in your grief. Yet, too, as it says in Romans 8, God is greater than tribulation, etc. . Pray he ministers to you in such a way that you have that peace that surpasses all understanding and that what you have suffered, is not in vain but can be used by God to minister to others. 2 Corinthians May He still get the glory despite this huge tradegy.
So, I’ve not been through something so horrendous as that but, my newborn baby died shortly after birth at just 28 weeks and lived just 9 hours. I got about an hour with him. He was mine and my fiancé’s only child together. That was three and a half years ago. I’ve been struggling with my faith ever since. This video has really helped me so much.
Donna Johnson Dear Donna be strong God didnt take your baby it was evil what happend to you Im so Sorry 💔 Rev 21:3,4 God will take death and pain away soon.,sending you Hugs❤️🌹💐
I believe your baby’s soul went straight back to be with his Father in Heaven. I have no doubt about that. After 3 years, how’s it going with your soul today?
I needed to hear this today. I lost my son, and coupled with a few other things I was going down a path that would not have a happy ending. Some how this popped up on my phone. God clearly needed me to see this. Thank you.
I can’t believe this showed up in my feed. I don’t follow this account but I have been through a traumatic experience this past week involving family, that feels unbearable. But God has been everywhere ever since and I’m trying hard to lean on him because right now it’s hard to experience joy in anything. Thank you for your testimony, I’m sure it’s helped so many and I’m so happy to hear that it gets better ❤️
I watched this story on one of those crime shows just a few months ago. It has stuck with me and I find myself thinking about it sometimes and wondering how the survivors were. I’ve said some prayers for them when they cross my mind. I am so glad to have seen this and know that they are not just still alive, but LIVING their lives! God bless them ❤️
My heart is shattered. The love and the courage displayed by this remarkable lady has blown me away. I don't have words to offer my appreciation, my condolences, my love for you. I will however make a silent prayer for you. To God we belong and to Him we shall return. May God reward you for your sufferings and for taking care of your nieces and nephews xxx.
Oh the tears...thank you for sharing your story. Here I was feeling sorry for myself over something very trivial and I stopped doing my housework so I could take a break. Listening to your friend's story made me cry. Not just because of what happened to her but because of how childish I was feeling. Thank you again for sharing. May you continue to be strong and may your beautiful smile shine bright in memory of those you lost and those who make you happy and sometimes even sad. God bless you.
She said her faith got her through but didn't elaborate only to be positive and not let evil and darkness rule. Faith in what? I hope it's God, through the Holy Spirit, as God says he will make things beautiful in its time. Ecclesiates 3, and make beauty out of ashes. Isaiah 61:3
I needed this. I just lost my dad to cancer . It will be a month Friday. He was the most positive person in my life. I feel like I need to stay positive be cause he taught me that. Im currently taking my last pre-nursing courses and he would of wanted to me to finish and become a nurse.
HelloWilzy I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad to cancer in 2001. He was also a very happy and positive person. Thinking of his beautiful smile every day brings me comfort. May God give you peace to know that you will continue to feel your dad’s love even if he is not here physically. And be sure he is proud of you.
Wow. What a sad story. It's hard to have faith when you lose someone in your family. This woman gives me so much hope to overcome my grief. Thank you for this message.
Losing my son in 2016 at the age of 10yo, has really been the hardest thing I've ever had to try and more forward from. This is what I needed to hear today. Thank you for sharing.
Oh my tears! I’ve had a tragic loss ten years ago. Your words; it’s like thru your story; has given me hope and permission to love again and more and renew faith, make different decisions! Yes if you wonder if you’ve helped one...you did, you’ve helped me! Thank you much!
Thank you so much for this! Not going through quite the same level of tragedy but my son is a 13 year old autistic, non-verbal child who back extremely aggressive and he had to be admitted to a psychiatric facility which has broken my heart! This video has really shown me that there REALLY can be a light at the end of the tunnel! So thank you, thank you, thank you!
What an inspiration! I lost my sister last year and it almost destroyed me. I can’t imagine the pain, that kind of loss would have brought her and for her to come out the other end of that pain and loss in such a positive frame of mind is just admirable. So much love to the both of you and thank you for sharing this story!
Cara McCaffrey To God we belong and to Him we shall return. I am so sorry to hear about your pain. May God give you the courage, the guidance and the love to deal with your peace. And may you meet your sister in the Gardens of Bliss one day. x
What an incredible testimony. This is a word that I needed to hear. This past weekend a co-worker, friend, and fellow World Racer passed away from being hit by a drunk driver. She was so incredible and full of joy. A light wherever she went. Her name was Kelly Anne Broderick if you read this and want to look up her blog. Thank you!
I just finished listening to a series on Joy from Dr. Charles Stanley and then I came across this. It is amazing to have such a wonderful example of joy demonstrated like this. Thank you for sharing your story and thank you for showing what God really means by His Joy. It was an honor to listen and just reading the comments shows how much you sharing this story is helping others. God Bless you both.
I totally don’t know how you could go on. I lost my 15 yr old to cancer and watching him go through all the stages before I could left him go I struggle to get past it. Thank you for sharing your story. 🎗🎗🎗🎗🎗
I am so sorry for your loss and so glad you were able to find this video. I hope you are able to take it one breath at a time. Sending love and positive energy to you. ❤️
Leticia, thank you so VERY much for sharing your story and the lessons you have learned since 💗 Kristina, you never cease to amaze me with the ways you find to reach this community, to reach out to each person and teach all of us. You are both amazing and the world is SO much better for having both of you. I am sending you both so much love and tons of hugs.
For some reason, this came up in my feed this morning and I waited until early this afternoon to watch it. I really needed this today! Her words spoke life to me today!
I remember when this horrific tragedy happened...I grew up in La Puente Covina West Covina...all I can say is what a beautiful heart and outlook she has for today and tomorrow..Bless all of your family...you touched my heart and soul...you’re TRULY AN INSPIRATION to all that have or may go through such a heartbreaking situation ♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻. “I’m in awe”
What a horrific story. How terrible and tragic. My heart hurts for this woman and her family. And I'm amazed by her strength and how she chose to handle the situation. You are amazing. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
What I've learned about loss. Time does not heal wounds. You just get more used to the pain... What kind of messed up system is that? This beautiful, horrifying amazing F***ed up world. All my love to you. 😢💙
I am lost for words ❣️ This woman is beautiful. She has been through hell, and yet she seems so full of joy. I lost my father last year, and I am still trying to come to terms with it. God bless her and her beautiful family Xxx
Oh my gosh! My heart hurts for this wonderful and strong woman. To have to lose an entire family ... I just cannot begin to imagine. You both seem like really great friends and I’m glad she is there for you. God bless you both
I have never gone through anything like this. I did lose my brother 2 weeks ago. I have been feeling, lost, confused , angry, sad, to name a few. Thank you for showing there is hope. I have lost people in my life before. I'm just in that moment that you're not sure this is even real. (you know) it's just not real in a sense. Thank you for hope. Such strength is a gift to share with others. Thank you for doing that.
I am so very sorry for the loss of your dear Brother, Colleen~It is beyond tough...My Big Bro, Paul, and I were super close, also, and we said goodbye to him 22 years ago. Yes, time certainly does help, as everyone always says, yet I still miss my time with him everyday❤:) You are in my thoughts and prayers tonight; all that you are feeling right now is truly understandable and asking God above to bring comfort, hope, peace, and srength, plus some joy with all the wonderful memories of the time your family had with him💕!!
I know many people have had worse things happen to them than me, but I don't know their stories. I can only imagine your pain. Your hope inspires my continued recovery for my traumas.
You have helped me. I watched this video in tears. My brother last June 12 days before his 37th birthday committed suicide because he didnt know how to deal with his divorce. I have been torn up inside for this entire last year and sometimes find it hard to get past that day I received the phone call. I remember it like it was yesterday. Sometime I hide my feelings inside and act like nothing is wrong or sometimes when my brothers name is mentioned I get angry and tell people to be quiet because it gets too hard to talk about him sometimes. My kids have been the ones really effected by my reactions when it comes to their uncle. By watching this video it gives me hope that someday I can get pass the pain. Thank you.
Natalie Halliday my son too , he committed suicide , November 27, 2016 he was 28 th years old.. sometimes I just want to follow him.. I still cry every single day .. sorry for your lost.
My oldest brother committed suicide. He was 46 years old. I feel your pain. It is totally different grief when someone does that. My brother didn't leave a note and to this day I don't know why he did it. It will drive you crazy if you let it.
Thank you for sharing your story. I needed to hear this today. I lost my dad to a five year battle of cancer the day before Christmas Eve in 2013 and Christmas is still so so hard for me to get through. But god has surrounded me with so much joy and love, especially during that time of year, and it is because the love of god that I can walk this life with joy in my heart 💛
I cannot even express how much this lady has helped me in just a few short days. Im humbled and convicted as I have failed to rise to her level However I can start now. God bless this amazing woman! May God give you many years of.love happiness and joy. Im jesus name amen!
Omg what a strong woman. I can't believe it. She lost 9 of her siblings. You really have to be strong to live after that. I don't think I could, really. So strong but still happy woman. Amazing ❤️
Oh my goodness... I’m a Christian but I would struggle sooo hard if that happened. I think I would be mad at God for a long time. She is amazing and God shines through her!
Exactly my outlook! I have two deceased children myself. People who know me say I'm so joyful. You're a true inspiration. I want to be even more like you! God bless you.
Awwwggggg at the gym doing cardio, just came across this video 💔💔💔 I am in tears right now... Thank you so much for this... huge lesson to those 🙋🏽♂️who complained about the stupidest things.
Ooooh my goodness 😭😭😭. I don't know how this landed in my recommendations. I've been going through debilitating grief and was feeling stuck and suffocated I thought I couldn't deal with it anymore. Then this comes and it literally lifted the dark cloud off of me. Thank you so much for sharing your story
I’ve seen this before and for some reason her story popped into my mind again... probably with Christmas coming. It’s one of those that I hear and watch but can’t begin to fully wrap my mind around it. Her strength and love for her family is inspiring ❤️
This just showed up on my account... I use t o follow you on FB couple of years ago.... I'm blown away.... I thank God this woman has the faith that passes all understanding.... thank you and this woman of faith for her testimony.❤️💪🏼❤️
Thank you for sharing your strength with the world. No one thinks tragedy will strike them, but it can. My son was kidnapped from our home and murdered by the mother of his daughter and her two friends. We are now raising my granddaughter and the joy you speak of is real. Rest on your faith. We started a non-profit organization in his honor and live every day honoring his life and how he would want us to live. It is not easy, there are bumps as you say, but the overall focus is Love always wins and don't keep it to yourself, share the gift of love with others and it will bring you the joy you seek. What a beautiful message you have shared and it helps to continue to share it!
This woman ...this bravery for sharing this story. This has given me the strength to share me own story about my trauma, like her I want to help others, I want to help. Kristina you are so amazing xxx
Wow. What a sad and inspiring story. We have many young people who died in a war in Armenia last year (when Azerbaijan attacked our Artsakh) and this is an example.of how to deal with that grief. Almost 4000people were killed from Armenian side (and I also feel sad for the people and families in Azeri side who are going through similar grief) and some families even lost their the only kids, e.g. 2 sons.... or 3 sons... you feel like it's impossible to move forward, to laugh, to enjoy life. But here we are. We see a story that is so hard to believe in. But it is there... and this person is not only able to live her life and walk into the future but also has enough strength to give tips to others in her position. That's amazing. Kristina, please hug this woman for me.
Focusing on what one can control, moving through fear, trauma, and loss - there is hope, there is this day, there is love in front of us if we pay attention. Thank you Kristina and Leticia for this genuine talk about hard things.
I have lost my parents and both my siblings. II have nieces and nephews and cousins. For some reason I grieve the loss of my older brother the most. It’s stealing my joy...my life. I hope someday I too will find my joy again.
I really needed to hear this. Last year my 45 year old husband died in his sleep. I will never know what happened because they refused to do a autopsy and put natural causes on his death certificate . My husband was my best friend. He truly loved me and I loved him.If your friend can get through what she went through, I will get through my pain in time. My heart is still broke but I need to focus on what I can control. I chose joy. I will find joy again one day.
yes...your testimony is a great help to me. Lost my husband this year and this sadness is slowing me down but thanks for the encouragement...im keeping the faith in order to move forward and the hopein Christ that one day ill see the light at the end of the tunnel but it so amazing seeing sparks of light even here in the darkest place in this tunnel...thanks for sharing your life.
Wow...what a strong woman...to suffer such a catastrophic loss of so many family member's at the hands of a madman. I cant even fathom the grief and turmoil she must of gone through. Thankyou for sharing.
So heartbreaking. There is so much Evil out there. Being able to keep hope and joy alive in your heart and soul really is hard. But, so worth it. Stay awesome, you guys. God bless all of you.
«but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.» Isaiah 40:31 ❤️🙏🏻
OMG. This is the saddest video that you have done, but I’m very grateful that you did it. Your friend is an incredible example of how to move on, when literally everything is against you. Please send her my love and gratitude. Thanks Kristina for being such and awesome person and mom.
This sooooo reminds me of the passage of scripture that says... "Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning." (Psalm 30:5) And... Isaiah 61:3 "To CONSOLE those who MOURN in Zion, To give them BEAUTY for ASHES, The oil of JOY for MOURNING, The GARMENT of PRAISE for the SPIRIT of HEAVINESS; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be GLORIFIED.”
Awesome testimony. It is so much easier to just give up. I lost my husband of 30 years 2 years ago. This really gave me hope that things will get better.
That womans story is somewhat similar to that of Frank Castle in the movie "The Punisher".....losing so many of her family members ALL AT ONCE!!!! What a terrible tragedy to have to try and heal from. Thank God for her faith.
I remember when this tragedy took place. I prayed that the Lord would comfort and bring hope to this family. Watching this testimony was like watching a prayer being answered before my eyes.
❤️❤️❤️
Yes, I’ve lost my only two children. Jesus literally is continuing to hold my hand and has revealed Himself. I know without a doubt this world is temporary and I do have a purpose and I’m not alone in grief. Oddly enough I’ve worked on Monuments for almost 30 years, and know there is much more that we cannot see with human eyes
I'm soooo sorry for your loss. I hear that losing a child is the greatest grief. And you lost both.
May God, your heavenly Father, heal your heart and help you in your grief. Yet, too, as it says in Romans 8, God is greater than tribulation, etc. . Pray he ministers to you in such a way that you have that peace that surpasses all understanding and that what you have suffered, is not in vain but can be used by God to minister to others. 2 Corinthians May He still get the glory despite this huge tradegy.
Saying prayer for you now. God bless
So sorry for your loss. Our church is reading this wonderful book: The End of Me, by Kyle Idleman. I hope you're able to read it.
So, I’ve not been through something so horrendous as that but, my newborn baby died shortly after birth at just 28 weeks and lived just 9 hours. I got about an hour with him. He was mine and my fiancé’s only child together. That was three and a half years ago. I’ve been struggling with my faith ever since. This video has really helped me so much.
Donna Johnson any loss is horrendous :( so sorry for your loss and pray for healing ❤️
Donna Johnson Dear Donna be strong God didnt take your baby it was evil what happend to you Im so Sorry 💔 Rev 21:3,4 God will take death and pain away soon.,sending you Hugs❤️🌹💐
I believe your baby’s soul went straight back to be with his Father in Heaven.
I have no doubt about that.
After 3 years, how’s it going with your soul today?

Tears. Strength. Tears. Prayers. She is right we have a choice to be happy that is part of life we can control.

Ditto what she said!
What an amazing Christian women. In God we can get through anything. This women is strong and makes me proud to share the same faith💜💜💜
How do you know she is Christian and not Jewish?
She said her faith got her through but didn't elaborate only to be positive and not let evil and darkness rule. Faith in what? I hope it's God, through the Holy Spirit, as God says he will make things beautiful in its time. Ecclesiates 3, and make beauty out of ashes. Isaiah 61:3
Where do you hear she is Christian? Is that all you got from this!!! 🙄
Wow that woman is a Warrior! God bless her and her family. Beautiful perspective.
I needed this. I just lost my dad to cancer . It will be a month Friday. He was the most positive person in my life. I feel like I need to stay positive be cause he taught me that. Im currently taking my last pre-nursing courses and he would of wanted to me to finish and become a nurse.
I feel you so much here, I lost my mom 27 days ago. This helped me so much and I started crying.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
HelloWilzy I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad to cancer in 2001. He was also a very happy and positive person. Thinking of his beautiful smile every day brings me comfort. May God give you peace to know that you will continue to feel your dad’s love even if he is not here physically. And be sure he is proud of you.
HelloWilzy I am so sorry for your loss. ❤️❤️

Losing my son in 2016 at the age of 10yo, has really been the hardest thing I've ever had to try and more forward from. This is what I needed to hear today. Thank you for sharing.

This story was so amazing. I needed to hear about someone else's faith and coming above all the heartbreak. Awe my heart is full.
I have never gone through anything like this. I did lose my brother 2 weeks ago. I have been feeling, lost, confused , angry, sad, to name a few. Thank you for showing there is hope.

I know many people have had worse things happen to them than me, but I don't know their stories. I can only imagine your pain. Your hope inspires my continued recovery for my traumas.
I’m heartbroken for this family. Horrendous!
You have helped me. I watched this video in tears. My brother last June 12 days before his 37th birthday committed suicide because he didnt know how to deal with his divorce.

💔😢 I am so sorry for the loss of your brother..May you find purpose and healing living your life in a way that honors his memory..🙏🙏
My ex, my sons father, committed suicide right before thanksgiving 6 years ago. It's so hard to go through. You are not alone!
Natalie Halliday my son too , he committed suicide , November 27, 2016 he was 28 th years old.. sometimes I just want to follow him.. I still cry every single day .. sorry for your lost.
My oldest brother committed suicide. He was 46 years old. I feel your pain. It is totally different grief when someone does that. My brother didn't leave a note and to this day I don't know why he did it. It will drive you crazy if you let it.
So sorry I cannot imagine. God bless you and you will be in my prayers. Hang in there.
Thank you for sharing your story. I needed to hear this today. I lost my dad to a five year battle of cancer the day before Christmas Eve in 2013 and Christmas is still so so hard for me to get through. But god has surrounded me with so much joy and love, especially during that time of year, and it is because the love of god that I can walk this life with joy in my heart 💛
I’m changed by listening to this.what honesty what an amazing person. I humbly thank you.peace to you always.
I cannot even express how much this lady has helped me in just a few short days. Im humbled and convicted as I have failed to rise to her level However I can start now. God bless this amazing woman! May God give you many years of.love happiness and joy. Im jesus name amen!
Omg what a strong woman. I can't believe it. She lost 9 of her siblings. You really have to be strong to live after that. I don't think I could, really. So strong but still happy woman. Amazing ❤️
crying in the office with my morning coffee ... it's the hope and love that pull us through the difficulties in life, I never stop believing that
There is a saying that I have been told since losing my love this year, you will not move on but you will move forward.
Oh my goodness... I’m a Christian but I would struggle sooo hard if that happened. I think I would be mad at God for a long time. She is amazing and God shines through her!
I remember that. It puts it into perspective hearing your story. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻💜
Exactly my outlook! I have two deceased children myself. People who know me say I'm so joyful. You're a true inspiration. I want to be even more like you! God bless you.
Wow. How does one become such a strong person...
Marija C she is very very strong.!
Through Christ who strenghtens us!
through Christ all things are possible.. I lost my child due to malpractice and only though Christ one can move on..
Oh my God..I am crying 😥To survive this is super human...to loose 9 family members.love to this woman!!
What an amazing, strong, courageous women! Thank you for sharing her story.
Awwwggggg at the gym doing cardio, just came across this video 💔💔💔 I am in tears right now... Thank you so much for this... huge lesson to those 🙋🏽♂️who complained about the stupidest things.
Ooooh my goodness 😭😭😭. I don't know how this landed in my recommendations. I've been going through debilitating grief and was feeling stuck and suffocated I thought I couldn't deal with it anymore. Then this comes and it literally lifted the dark cloud off of me. Thank you so much for sharing your story
Thank you for sharing your strength and wisdom- what a wonderful way to be an example.
I’ve seen this before and for some reason her story popped into my mind again... probably with Christmas coming. It’s one of those that I hear and watch but can’t begin to fully wrap my mind around it. Her strength and love for her family is inspiring ❤️
This just showed up on my account... I use t o follow you on FB couple of years ago.... I'm blown away.... I thank God this woman has the faith that passes all understanding.... thank you and this woman of faith for her testimony.❤️💪🏼❤️
Thank you for sharing your strength with the world. No one thinks tragedy will strike them, but it can. My son was kidnapped from our home and murdered by the mother of his daughter and her two friends. We are now raising my granddaughter and the joy you speak of is real. Rest on your faith. We started a non-profit organization in his honor and live every day honoring his life and how he would want us to live. It is not easy, there are bumps as you say, but the overall focus is Love always wins and don't keep it to yourself, share the gift of love with others and it will bring you the joy you seek. What a beautiful message you have shared and it helps to continue to share it!
A very beautiful and strong woman.
This woman ...this bravery for sharing this story. This has given me the strength to share me own story about my trauma, like her I want to help others, I want to help. Kristina you are so amazing xxx
Wow. What a sad and inspiring story. We have many young people who died in a war in Armenia last year (when Azerbaijan attacked our Artsakh) and this is an example.of how to deal with that grief. Almost 4000people were killed from Armenian side (and I also feel sad for the people and families in Azeri side who are going through similar grief) and some families even lost their the only kids, e.g. 2 sons.... or 3 sons... you feel like it's impossible to move forward, to laugh, to enjoy life. But here we are. We see a story that is so hard to believe in. But it is there... and this person is not only able to live her life and walk into the future but also has enough strength to give tips to others in her position. That's amazing. Kristina, please hug this woman for me.
Oh my God, unthinkable tragedy 😭. What a woman of faith and perserverance. My love to their family ❤.
Wow this is a such a tragic story. Yet such an inspiration. Thank you. God bless you all. 🙏💜
It’s the grace of God and His love that helped this beautiful woman and her family!! I am so very sorry for your loss!!💔😔🙏🏻
Thanks a lot for sharing this. What an important message. ❤
Focusing on what one can control, moving through fear, trauma, and loss - there is hope, there is this day, there is love in front of us if we pay attention. Thank you Kristina and Leticia for this genuine talk about hard things.
Such an amazing, smart, strong woman.
Hugs to your friend, what a beautiful, strong, amazing lady xx ❤️
I have lost my parents and both my siblings. II have nieces and nephews and cousins. For some reason I grieve the loss of my older brother the most. It’s stealing my joy...my life. I hope someday I too will find my joy again.
She is so composed that it's almost hard to believe that this all happened. I'm amazed by her strength.
I am in tears. Thank you for sharing your story! Your testimony, wow!
I really needed to hear this. Last year my 45 year old husband died in his sleep. I will never know what happened because they refused to do a autopsy and put natural causes on his death certificate . My husband was my best friend. He truly loved me and I loved him.If your friend can get through what she went through, I will get through my pain in time. My heart is still broke but I need to focus on what I can control. I chose joy. I will find joy again one day.
I'm crying. This is such a tragedy. What a beautiful and strong woman overcoming this tragedy with grace.
yes...your testimony is a great help to me. Lost my husband this year and this sadness is slowing me down but thanks for the encouragement...im keeping the faith in order to move forward and the hopein Christ that one day ill see the light at the end of the tunnel but it so amazing seeing sparks of light even here in the darkest place in this tunnel...thanks for sharing your life.
Wow...what a strong woman...to suffer such a catastrophic loss of so many family member's at the hands of a madman. I cant even fathom the grief and turmoil she must of gone through. Thankyou for sharing.
Praise the Lord! I am so sorry! I want to have that kind of light!
Your faith got you through!! Amen
9 years ago this thur I lost a foster baby who was a DNR. She was only 9 months old. I choose joy ! Thank you
So heartbreaking. There is so much Evil out there. Being able to keep hope and joy alive in your heart and soul really is hard. But, so worth it. Stay awesome, you guys. God bless all of you.
I am Kylark And God bless you and your loved ones!
Brilliant. Just brilliant. Thank you.
«but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.»

OMG. This is the saddest video that you have done, but I’m very grateful that you did it. Your friend is an incredible example of how to move on, when literally everything is against you. Please send her my love and gratitude. Thanks Kristina for being such and awesome person and mom.
Oh, how I needed this! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful and courageous story. What a testimony to God, and His faithfulness, and love. ❤️
My ugly crying is in full force. So inspiring to show a way to live after loss
This could not have come to me at a better day. Thank you so much for sharing your story. ❤️
May God give strenght to all of you who survived the tragedy ❤️
Thankyou for sharing,,,,,,
My problems seem trivial now,,,,,,,
Thank you for your story. You are an amazing woman . Your faith and love you have for Jesus. I needed to hear this. May God bless you and your family
This sooooo reminds me of the passage of scripture that says...
"Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning." (Psalm 30:5)
And... Isaiah 61:3
"To CONSOLE those who MOURN in Zion,
To give them BEAUTY for ASHES,
The oil of JOY for MOURNING,
The GARMENT of PRAISE for the SPIRIT of HEAVINESS;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
The planting of the Lord, that He may be GLORIFIED.”
Grief is the evidence of Love. Thank You so much for sharing this with us.
You have no idea how much this video helped me today. Thank you and thank you for your bravery and willingness to continue to show love
Awesome testimony. It is so much easier to just give up. I lost my husband of 30 years 2 years ago. This really gave me hope that things will get better.
That womans story is somewhat similar to that of Frank Castle in the movie "The Punisher".....losing so many of her family members ALL AT ONCE!!!! What a terrible tragedy to have to try and heal from. Thank God for her faith.
