We will be praying for you and your sweet family.Įmily, you don't know me, but my husband and I have both been deeply affected by your ordeal this last week. The kingdom is yours and the blessings thereof are yours, and the riches of eternity are yours." and ye have not as yet understood how great blessings the Father hath in his own hands and prepared for you and ye cannot bear all things now nevertheless, be of good cheer, for I will lead you along. Wirthlin, "Come what May, and Love it", Ensign, Nov. Not even death can take from us the eternal blessings promised by a loving Heavenly Father.īecause Heavenly Father is merciful, a principle of compensation prevails." There we will be given new opportunities. One of the blessings of the gospel is the knowledge that when the curtain of death signals the end of our mortal lives, life will continue on the other side of the veil. While it may not come at the time we desire, the faithful will know that every tear today will eventually be returned a hundredfold with tears of rejoicing and gratitude. That which is taken away from those who love the Lord will be added unto them in His own way. "The Lord compensates the faithful for every loss. I am so grateful that you will be able to see your John again, the gospel is so amazing! She has this quote that gives her peace and hope through the gospel. She, like you, has such an amazing testimony of the gospel. My cousin's husband died in a motorcycle accident last spring, leaving her and their then 18 month old son behind. We may not have been very well acquainted when we knew each other but I did and still do admire you. While in the 147th ward your testimony and the countenance were shining examples to me. Like so many others who have commented, I too have been touched by both you and John. Leslie comment can link you to my blog if you are interested at all in reading about my experience when my husband passed away.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you want to or need to. it is a loss that brings such loneliness to the surviving spouse and i pray for your comfort and your peace at this time from our loving Father in Heaven. i think the thing that was the most helpful in talking to other young widows was to know that the feelings i was experiencing were normal and that no matter how you need to grieve, there is no right way. i am more than willing and able to do anything for you to help you. but i wanted to reach out to you and let you know that if you need to talk, write, vent, chat, anything. I am sure you have friends and family around you at this time and that is so great. no one can understand what it is like to be a widow unless they have experienced it before. i felt so alone when aaron passed away and it was when i could communicate with other young widows that i would feel not quite so alone because then i knew there was someone else out there that knew how i was feeling. I am only writing because i wanted you to know that you aren't alone.

it was after the funeral when life started to feel like it was spinning out of control and like things started to sink in a little more about what reality was going to be for us. i remember those days before the funeral being so stoic because i was still in such shock and i just knew i had to get through the funeral. and losing my husband so young, i know the heartache, heartbreak, loneliness, confusion, and all sorts of emotions that you are probably experiencing right now. especially those who knew what i was going through (as a new widow).Įach situation is different i know, but as far as being a young wife and mother. i remember how helpful it was when people reached out to me. This sunday, november 29th, it will be 2 years since my husband passed away unexpectedly after a horse riding accident. sorry, i am not a stalker, i just felt like i needed to write to you. i then googled you and your husband to see if you had a blog. My sister just sent me the link to the article on ksl.
