I've had so many years of little waves I got used to coasting and maybe getting a little bit damp now and then. The last quarter of 2023 has been little earthquakes and I keep bracing myself for the tsunami that feels threateningly close. I've been following you since your book was published. I know your life has been awfully rough and requires you to constantly navigate choppy waters. God bless you Kaitlyn. I will be praying for 2024 to be better than every other year.
Out of nowhere I have lost my son. It happened pretty much overnight. My son, the one who I thought was most like me. But now he is gone. His Words ring in my head. The pain sears my heart. Are you real God. Those words mix in with the disbelief of what happened.
When will the fire end and the rain come.
How do I let go and not keep turning around to grab on to something that isn’t there.
Oh Karen, I just saw this post, and perhaps my words will come right on time for today, though they are months late. I assure you He is there. He holds you when you cry, and He will not let you go. As a mother who also lost a son, I can tell you this for sure. You will get through this in the arms of your Savior. You only have to do "today" one today at a time. Be as kind to yourself as you would be to someone else. Embrace the pain, feel its fury and let it blow right through you. Scream and cry with your heavenly Father, and pound your fists on His chest - He can take your anger and pain and give you peace as you trust Him with it. He loves you so much, and He weeps with you. In time He will make Romans 8:28 come true in your sight, and you will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living once again. Trust Him. Beyond that, I can tell you that writing will bring healing faster. Write letters to your son, write memories, write your thoughts and feelings in letters and prayers to God. It helps, truly. With compassion, susie

God are you here?
