Also, I have just recently listened to the sermon on grieving my Mr. Wells, and all of it kind of ties together. Today at church someone chose to have us all sing "It is Well With My Soul" That is one song that I can barely get through, but many times I try to hide the tears and just hold it in. I figure people think I should be over the grieving and especially over these "small things" that remind me of my Mom, but the truth is, the small things remind me just as much. And...after listening to that sermon I realize it's okay to still grieve. It's okay to cry, even in public and for others to see that I am really weak. I am so thankful for your blog posts, it helps me to know that I'm not some weird person for grieving this long. And like we talked about yesterday, losing a child and losing a mother are very different, but they both hurt. <BR/><BR/>So, thank you for posting and sharing what's REALLY going on. <BR/><BR/>I love you!<BR/>DanielleDaniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14837677710305353947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021807776846074767.post-52939997257325689772008-05-18T19:36:00.000-05:002008-05-18T19:36:00.000-05:00Cindy,I wish you could hear Jerry Wells sermons on...Cindy,<BR/><BR/>I wish you could hear Jerry Wells sermons on this VERY topic. He has so ministered to my soul. Everyone's grief is different and there are no rules. It is okay to cry alot, cry out to others alot, and cry out to God a whole lot. It is good to grieve and not try to supress it. I know there are people out there (whom I won't mention names) that think we should just get over it already. That isn't how it works. We are to grieve shamelessly. That is what David did. I know what you mean about never being the same. I will never be the same. I have never been through what I am going through now and I feel like a different person. I have a sadness within my heart that I am not sure will ever leave. A huge piece of my heart is in heaven with my little baby. I held him in my hands, he is mine and I will always miss him.<BR/><BR/>Blessings to you dear sister.<BR/>CindyThe Cole Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01666995276344004034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021807776846074767.post-3298749739549930202008-05-18T13:42:00.000-05:002008-05-18T13:42:00.000-05:00Everyone grieves at their own pace.

If it takes you 1 year or 10 years to feel like you have "walked through" it then that is what it takes. <BR/><BR/>I think you are amazingly strong and a wonderful person. I feel blessed to read your blog and exchange emails with you. I was just telling my mother the other day (she also reads here) how proud of you I was and how I wish I had half your strength just to deal with things in my own life.<BR/><BR/>Sure I don't know all the story, I don't see you and know how you feel all the time, but you share so much of yourself in this blog, and that has been such a wonderful thing for me. <BR/><BR/>Your belief in the Lord, and ability to let him led the way has been such an inspiration to me, you have made me open my eyes and see I could be a better Christian<BR/><BR/>--LoriLJRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00136796552019973479noreply@blogger.com
