How I wish I could be right there beside you and give you a hug, but a cyberhug will have to do....(((((Sharon))))).....it's at times like this that I am reminded that God sees every tear that we shed and in fact they are precious to Him and it says in Psalms that He stores them up in a bottle(I have often said that I probably have 10 gallon drums for all the tears I have cried in my lifetime). God is the God of all Comfort...may He comfort You during this incredible time of loss in your life. You said that you are still holding on to God and that's exactly what you have to keep doing. We also have online mentors that would love to walk alongside of you during this time. Just fill in the form on this page http://powertochange.com/experience/talk-to-a-mentor/ and one of our mentors will email you back.

This was his son that he had been waiting for. While trying to cope with his death I held on to god, and to the fact that his son was coming and I would have a piece of my husband to look at every day. Well three months later, and two weeks early our son was stillborn. I still hold to my God. He will see me through this I know. it's hard but like you said family and friends help.

A perfect name for one whom Jesus loves so much! Memories (i.e. Flashbacks)can be one of the harder things to tackle. Try getting a cheap notebook and start writing down every good memory you can think of, even a pretty flower or a sunset. Also write down some scriptures that say who you are now in Christ-Ephesians 1 is a good place to start. When one of those bad memories comes up, replace it with a good one. It takes some practice, and ask God to help you. Romans 12:2 says to be transformed by the renewing of your mind, 2 Corithians 10 talks about dealing with the strongholds of the mind. God can help you with those memories! Your welcome, Jewel. A perfect name for one whom Jesus loves so much! Memories (i.e. Flashbacks)can be one of the harder things to tackle.

You can pick it up online. God used that and His Word the Bible, beliving and practicing what He says is true..you are a new creature, the former things have passed away, behold all things are new! He healed me, as though none of it ever happened. If He can do it for me, He can do it for you. Jewel-there is an amazing little study called ‘The Path to Sexual Healing’ by Linda Cochrane.
