Prayer request

please say some prayers for my codependent group facilitator, sally. she passed away on tues. and my group members and i will be attending her service this evening. she was a great lady and i will miss her wisdom.

also pray for me as i am struggling with grief issues at this time due to it being close to the 1 year mark that my husband passed and this recent loss has compounded my grief.

thanks everyone - God shall get me thru this!

I will pray for all affected by this recent loss of your friend and especially for you cwohio- that you will find comfort and strength at this time of the year.

Matthew 5:4
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted."

(((hugs)))

The first year is very hard. I will be praying for you.

I'm sorry that you also lost Sally.

Grief is very hard.

thanks to all of you for your prayers. the service was a celebration of her life and was held outdoors at an arboretum - it was absolutely beautiful - not the typical solemn service but indeed a "celebration" of the woman. i did cry but it was very moving. i felt God all around me!
