Lord,
Sometimes the pain is so unbearable. Drew's absence is never far from me or my thoughts, but there are so many times when I tangibly feel his absence in my chest- a pressure, a hole. It hurts beyond all reason, and it can consume me- my thoughts, my actions, my every emotion.
My thoughts are so scattered right now. They jump from one issue related to Drew to the next, yet one thing I know for certain. I don't want the next many months to be filled with this. I realize there will be moments and days when I will feel the full extent of the sorrow and pain, but I don't want to live there. Not only for my sake or the girls, but because I know there are so many others who are suffering and dealing with their own struggles all around me.
Help me, Lord, to look past my own pain and see those around me. Open my eyes, Lord, and let me see what You see and feel as You feel.
Beautifully said.....expressing your pain and sadness and then letting our God carry the burden is a good way to get through the tough times. You are doing a great job with Drews absence. Love You, MOM
