Beautifully written. Thank you. Your story sounded much like the story of my husband who passed away December 19th of 24. He fought well after a long ministry as a pastor. And died after 10 months of fighting pancreatic cancer. Just shy of a 11 months now but it's still all seems so unreal. Put your wording was some of the exact words that he said to me and we said to him as he crossed over to Glory. Being the one left behind is never easy but we have a great God who holds us up every step of the way. Be blessed my condolences to you.
Ahhh Mandy. Thank you for sharing your experience. What a difficult journey. I can’t imagine how much deeper your grief has been, but thankful he knew and served the Lord!! Blessings to you in this new year.
So sorry for your loss. It’s a tender place holding the hard and hope at the same time. Thankfully we have a tender God. May you feel his presence, our Emmanuel.
Oh, Jen. This was so beautiful. What a touching tribute of God’s beauty and steadfast provision even in the midst of grief. I’m so grateful your life was infused with hope through friendship with these two ladies, what a gift the Lord gave you. And what a gift that we as believers don’t have to fear death. We will see our loved ones again. ❤️ praying for comfort and joy for you this season.
Not only is this comforting in my missing someone so dear (yup, cancer) but it’s also encouraging as I write into my own serious illness. Tears….thank you.
Our beautiful sisters in Christ now in the cloud of witnesses! Each of us still here looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, just as they did.
