Being a family guy, I would say they are the primary support group.

When it's family that hurts? Changes everything.

When I busted up my kneecap that hurt so much I didn't know wether to laugh or cry, so I did both at the same time.

Sometimes how we deal with hurt helps others deal with their hurts. While we do not have to reveal anything we can share scriptures and other things that have helped us.

My greatest hurt was when I lost my son, my only child in a motorcycle accident.

The way I got thru it was by resolutely committing myself to being disciplined in bible reading, prayer, and going to church even though I felt that God had abandoned me.

I told God that even though I did not feel close to him, and I blamed him for allowing this in my life, I also knew that he was God, and there was no one else I could turn to.

I told him that I would walk by faith putting one foot in front of the other day by day until I could find my way back to a close relationship with him again.

This November 15th will be the 3rd anniversary of Jason’s death.

I am irreparably damaged, but my relationship with God is steady and sure and at times a great comfort to me.

For you see, this is the common condition of humanity, pain, suffering, and eventually the loss of all we hold dear in this world.

In the end it all comes down to you and God and there is nothing else.

Oh Amanah....how my heart goes out to you! We too, lost a son, but it wasn't our only child. If it hasn't even been three years yet, you're still going through the 'fog'....that's the way I describe it, and I'm sure you know what I mean.

I've often said that I don't know how anyone can suffer a loss like that, and come out whole, if they don't know the Lord. Sometimes you just know in your heart that God is there, and cares, even when you don't feel a thing.

You are in my prayers and thoughts....

thank you Sarah . . . that is one of the purposes of suffering, to be able to minister to others because you know what they are going through.
