The welcome by Editor Andrea Gambill gives serious food for thought. This is what she wrote about the word HOPE:
"Happiness-possible even in the midst of overwhelming pain and sadness
Optimism-the belief that there can be better days in spite of the current
darkness
Peace-because there is hope
Empathy-to understand the journey of others, because you have been
there, too."
I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who has expressed words of sympathy and comfort to me at this time. I truly appreciate it.

I'm so sorry to learn about your brother's passing, Judy. Please accept my sincere condolences to you and your family.
Thanks Irene. All the best to you.
Take care x
Thanks Clairejustine. I am going to send you an email. Please check your inbox.
I've not lost a sibling yet, so I don't know that pain, but I've lost both my parents and many cousins and grandparents. At 60 death just is part of the woodwork. I'm not happy about that, but it's part of the process of living.
I wish I could take the pain away and leave you with peace, but that's a road we all have to travel alone and hopefully with the support of family and friends. Big healing hugs Judy. :)
Oh, Judy, I am so, so sorry. I haven't been online since Christmas and am just reading of the loss of your brother.
Please know I am keeping you in my prayers and hope that the Lord's embrace around you will give you some comfort and strength during this difficult time.
Many blessings,
Lisa
Hi Sandee,
Death is indeed a part of life and for those who pass on I think they are definitely in a better place. Those of us who are left behind feel a lot of pain but we have to find ways to cope. Thanks for your kind words.
Judy

I am so sorry to read about your loss, death is so hard, and around the holidays it is even worse.
Just pray, I heard on the radio last night from a show that in order to know death, you have to taste it, and by that means you have to experience death by a loved one or someone close to you.
I am a new follower, love your blog, would love to get more followers at mine, please visit me www.armytankerswife.com
