WHEN A LOVED ONE DIES
Have you lost a loved one in death? The pain, the grief, and the feelings of helplessness can seem unbearable. At such times, we need to go to God’s Word for comfort. (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4) The Bible helps us to understand how Jehovah and Jesus feel about death. Jesus, who perfectly reflected his Father, knew the pain of losing someone in death. (John 14:9) When he was in Jerusalem, Jesus used to visit Lazarus and his sisters, Mary and Martha, who lived in the nearby town of Bethany. They became close friends. The Bible says: “Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.” (John 11:5) Though, Lazarus died. How did Jesus feel about losing his friend? The account tells us that Jesus joined Lazarus’ relatives and friends as they grieved over this loss. Seeing them, Jesus was deeply moved. He “groaned in the spirit and became troubled.” Then, the account says, “Jesus gave way to tears.” (John 11:33, 35) Did Jesus’ grief mean that he had no hope? Not at all. In fact, Jesus knew that something wonderful was about to happen. (John 11:3, 4) Still, he felt the pain and sorrow that death brings. In a way, Jesus’ grief is encouraging to us. It teaches us that Jesus and his Father, Jehovah, hate death. But Jehovah God is able to fight and overcome that enemy! Let us see what God enabled Jesus to do.

A quiet place. |
January 4, 2008 |
I never knew Travanti and yet somehow I know him through our same grief, having just past ten years (seems like ten weeks) since the passing of our dear son Jamie (25).
You just could never believe a human could cry so many tears and go on living.
A fear that I had in the early days was that time was separating me from Jamie.
One day as I sat quietly in the garden, not thinking of anything that I could recall, an inspirational thought came into my mind. 'I am not going away from Jamie, each day, I am getting closer to him'. This obvious yet previously unseen revelation, has been a great deal of help to me since. I have found that a quiet place and a quiet mind, allow God to speak to our minds and calm our saddened souls.
I pray that He will lighten yours. May God Bless and Keep Travanti.

Nothing can compare with the loss of a child
Only those who have known such a tragedy can understand your sorrow. Though words may be meaningless right now, may you find some comfort in the love and concern that surround you from so many who deeply care.
A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam and for a brief moment its glory and beauty belong to our world. But then it flies on again and though we wish it could have stayed .We feel so blessed to have seem it.
With Heartfelt Sympathy
