I would be thrilled to have a signed copy. <br /><br />One of my favorite bible verses on hope is: Psalm 31:24 "Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord".<br /><br />I've never felt bad for people who have died because I feel like they are beyond the pain now but it's the one's left here to deal with the grief that I feel so bad for.<br /><br />I lost my Mother when I was 26 and my father when I was 27 and was devastated. We had a close friend of the family who came in when Mama died and immediately put things in action because it was so sudden and we were in complete shock. She owned a local dinner and had several daughters. The house was cleaned and prepared for visitors in nothing flat. She knew there would be lots of food so she made sure there was every paper product, disposable cutlery and drink available. It meant the world to me she came in and allowed us to grieve while she provide so much motherly care.<br /><br />Thanks for letting me enter. Hugs...Tracy :)<br />cottonpickincute(at)hotmail(dot)comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08643279791342765171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7393095621833739231.post-4103710008497156952011-03-07T17:59:17.149-05:002011-03-07T17:59:17.149-05:00Thank you for your kind and encouraging comments. ...Thank you for your kind and encouraging comments. I appreciate them so very much. I forgot to leave an answer to one of your questons.<br />Because my hubby passed during the holidays we decided to wait a short time to have a memorial. My dear friend from TX came several days before the service and just took care of me, all the service details and was a huge blessing at the service. She waited on anybody who needed anything and was always by my side when I needed a hand to hold. She took care of all of my family and stayed an extra day just to love on me and my kids when everybody else had gone home. I can never repay her for her love and kindness during the most difficult days of my life!Joy Junktionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02396533426075869292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7393095621833739231.post-13475131407854859862011-03-05T21:28:51.659-05:002011-03-05T21:28:51.659-05:00Cindy,

We wrote Finding Hope In Times of Grief on the heels of Preston's fathers death and our son's tragic death the day after we buried him.<br />I agree with Hannah that it would be helpful for you to visit our Facebook page finding Hope in Times of Grief. There are many on our site that have lost spouses. The grief road is unique to each individual. <br />We have found that God is personal and He has been there every step of the way. When you call out to Him He will be there for you too.<br />Blessings.Glendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15667673928946283742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7393095621833739231.post-9810574427297051092011-03-05T19:58:30.183-05:002011-03-05T19:58:30.183-05:00I'm glad you've joined us, Cindy!!!

All grief is painful and does not warrant any minimization whatsoever. If you have facebook, I highly recommend you go to www.facebook.com/findinghope where you will see you aren't alone!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05533090174017513496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7393095621833739231.post-19036832926195907992011-03-05T19:03:13.980-05:002011-03-05T19:03:13.980-05:00Congratulations of the newest book!

It has been interesting though, it seems that unless you have lost a child, very few people think you have a right to grieve! I don't understand that thinking. I only know living With Mark, I don't know living without him! Why should I not grieve? My heart is broken in pieces but I am made to feel like I cannot talk about it because it wasn't a child! Grieved about grieving!Joy Junktionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02396533426075869292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7393095621833739231.post-86579286046774643782011-03-03T09:58:51.150-05:002011-03-03T09:58:51.150-05:00Congratulations on the book release!

Of COURSE I'd love a Parrish signed copy.<br /><br />Two of my 'cling to' verses: Romans 8:37 and James 1:2...<br /><br />Love to you all!<br />CCCChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12940247121896348904noreply@blogger.com
