Need Some Prayers

More prayers for you, George, and the rest of the family during this most difficult time.

Someone (akivory) posted this for you in the community forum:

Do not stand at my grave and weep

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!

Mary Frye (1932)

That poem reminds me of the chorus to a song I've heard Dan Whittemore sing:

Don't go weeping on my tombstone,
Don't go crying when I'm gone.
I was only passing through here,
I never planned to stay around for long.
 
George my heart and prayers go out to you, I'm not gonna give ya any bull about God's will, it's never fair and ya know what, my pastor told me this along time ago, "It's ok to be pissed off at God".

Honor her with your life by livin' and makin' the best of every day, in the end we'll all be together again.

I wrote this for my sister in law 15 ago when her husband had passed away, I hope in time this might help.

I got this morning but I didn't want to. By Tibor A. Erdelyi

I got up this morning but I didn't want to.
I got outta bed but I didn't want to.
I had my coffee and saw you there,
Sittin' in the empty chair,
I didn't want to.

You smiled and said I'm not alone.
I cursed your ass you weren't home,
I didn't want to.

I left the house and went outside,
There world's a bigger place to hide,
I told myself,
I know I lied,
I didn't want to.

I saw your friends,
We laughed we cried,
You were there, right by my side.

I saw the Shore and thought of you,
And all the things we used to do,
I didn't want to.

I heard a joke you told before,
It made me miss you that much more,
I didn't want to.

I heard your voice float thru the air,
I knew you really weren't there.
It made me smile just the same,
And helped a little to ease the pain.

I saw you in the kids today,
I knew I'd see you more someway,
And there you were,
Where you'd always be,
Deep in my heart, inside of me.

And somehow I knew,
That when I went to bed,
Tomorrow, when I woke up,
I'd want to.
 
It is so hard to lose the one's you love. God bless you and your family.
 
George,

I'm so sorry to hear of Helen's passing. Try and get a little piece from knowing that she is no longer in pain and her disease can no longer cause her any suffering.

Please let me know if there's anything I can do brother.

I like to thank everyone for the thoughts and prayers.
They pulled the plug on her at 10:30AM this morning. I couldn't sit in her room an watch her die. This really sucks.

My condolances Bro, It was easy to tell that she meant everything to you!

I'm sure that there was a material that you used for a handle, or a style of blade you make that she liked. Make a commemorative piece. Try to make it as beautiful as she was (I know that's a tall order!) Invite folks over to help you or keep you company, whatever so you're not out of the company of friends. When you've got your head back together enough so you'll be safe on the road, fire up that Indian and take a foliage cruise or something.
You got a lot of friends, don't ever forget that.

So very sorry for you loss. While I know nothing can comfort in times like this, don't forget she is beyond any pain or suffering now. She paid her dues and is in perfect health in the promise land.
 
I can't even imagine. May God shelter you in the peace of His throne and give your heart rest and joy for your wife's new-found youth. We are but visitors and strangers here, and we praise God for the opportunity to have loved in the image of His love. It is one of the greatest gifts we were allowed to take from the Garden.

God bless you and keep you, friend. Remember, you're the one weeping now, as we all must, and Helen is looking down on you wishing you peace in her joy.

IG, My heart goes out to you on this, I cannot possibly understand the level of pain that you must be feeling today and I hope I never do. Do not feel guilty on this, you only allowed the laws of nature to move forward. As others have said she is now at peace. Take care of yourself and know that your friends here and other places are thinking of you and wishing you well!
 
I don't know what to type here Indian George, I have been thinking about you and Helen and praying for you. I just saw post 133 and I am truly sorry to hear this. You are in our prayers.
 
I haven't been active on the forums for a few months, but popped in and just saw this and my heart dropped.

IG, my thoughts are with you buddy. If theres anything we can do, don't hesitate to ask.
