Thanks!
Thanks for the comments yesterday and showing you care. I know it may be hard at times to read my posts, but thanks for stinking in there with me. Some days are really hard and others I have pure joy and it is much easier excepting what has happened. I have to say I have more days of happiness than I do sadness, but there are days that the pain seems as intense as the day Kamber past away. No matter what, my faith in Christ does not move, I stand strong in the knowledge of the gospel and knowing one day I will be with Kamber and my family for all eternity! Most days I can choose to be happy even when I feel sadness coming on and other days I just need to feel the pain, it helps to let it all out. Even though yesterday I felt the pain and had sadness in my heart I am still able to function and maybe if you saw me you wouldn't even know I was hurting. I choose to do my crying when I am alone and can fall to my knees and pray, this does help. Maybe you can see the roller coaster that grief does to a person, you don't move from one stage to the other, you are actually up and down, up and down. Usually when you think you are okay is when you are slammed down again. I'm sure there are many who have had to go through grief and understand what I am saying. Today I am feeling better, not totally out of the woods, but a lot better. Thank goodness for my girls and my husband, they definitely bring so much joy to my life!

You are such an inspiration to so many people Jen, don't ever forget that. There are so many people going through hard times that need to here things like this. I think it helps people know that it is okay to cry and fall on your knees. You don't always have to be strong, sometimes you need to let the Lord be your strength and I think you have taught that to so many people. It is okay to throw yourself into the Lords hands and let him take over.
I believe that because you share your thoughts with those who follow your blog, you are teaching us how to deal with a devastating situation like yours. I've given service to people during some really sad situations, but I'm not always sure I've said or done the right thing. You've shown us that the grief of your loss doesn't go away once the funeral is over. I'm so sorry that you have to endure such pain and I know none of us (except those that have experienced the same type of loss)can totally understand that pain. I know that when I read your posts, I wish I was one of your friends so I could come and give you a hug and sit by your side. You are an incredible woman.
I am so happy the sun is shinning on you today!
Your posts are so refreshing and inspiring to me - they help restore a balance to my life.
With thanks & love,
Kathryn
Thanks Jenn for being You I admire you for your strength. I dont know how I would handle a loss of a child. I worry for them each day even though they are grown and married I think It would still hurt a mother who brought them here to be tested. We are left here alone to have trials and someday be worthy enough to return to live with our eternal families forever. Know that we are always here for you and your family. I think of you as another daughter and your daughters are special to me too. I love the way Kamber was always so loving to us and always happy.
