After reading some of the messages on this site, I felt compelled to post this message and share my story. I lost my father to cancer and that was one of the most difficult times in my life. Watching my father battle cancer, endure the treatments and take his last breath was not easy although it has made me stronger and become a better man. Please take a few moments of your time to read an article that was published about me, my father and my fight against cancer through song. This is truly touching so many people’s lives and I just want to continue to share it with the world. If my story helps at least one person deal with their loss of a loved one, then I feel like I’m doing my part.

Hi Christy,

Losing someone is never easy to deal with nevertheless your job, car and house. When I lost my father I was devastated but i had to pull it together quickly. I have to take care of my mom, grandparents and my child. It took a lot of prayer and faith in GOD to get me through. My close friends kept reminding me that GOD makes no mistakes. I know sometimes we don't understand the things that happen in life but we have to trust GOD. You will make it...You will survive and your story, your testimony will be an inspiring one that will help someone else one day. My son was so strong when my dad, his paw paw passed away and I drew strength from him. Stay prayerful, stay strong and just know that everything will be ok.

Hey christy, i am really sorry for the loss of your beloved husband. Your story brought so much tears to my eyes. My aunt also passed away when she was 35, at such a young age just like your husband, leaving 4 kids behind including a 2 year old that loved her so much. The really sad part is she passed away a day after her 35th birthday. I shared the same birthday with her and sadly as much as a birthday should bring excitement, it brings nothing but sorrow to me that i sleep for both of those days. I know you lost so much and i'm hoping and praying that you get it all back together. Look up to god and your husband, and don't think for one second you don't have anything to live for because you have a beautiful daughter standing right beside you. That's something that you can never lose and amazingly she is the gift your husband shared with you. You still have her to live for. Your daughter is your hope. You are in my prayers. God bless.

Hello Christy,

Yes, there is lots of hope - trust in God which you have read over and over again. I learned through life experiences - he will NEVER let you down. He promised better conditions - Revelation 21:3,4 and it will come to be...as he promised. You have a hope of seeing your partner, your love one, your husband again. Join forces with God and watch how he surround you with the spirit of calmness and peace. Read Psalms 37:9-11 - it will come to be as he stated in the Bible - you must believe that and it will help calm the pain and comfort you.

I too, know the feeling of experiencing things that you want to share with someone who has passed away. I know of others who share the same desire also. For instance my mother lost her mother to cancer, she always thinks of things that she would want to tell her or for her to see. But you know what comforts us is the hope that we will see her again, as well as our other friends and relatives that have passed..."Do not marvel at this because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." ( John 5:28,29) I believe will see my family and friends again soon, by means of resurrection. :)

Hello to all I am new to this so please bear with me.

I have over the past few years lost several people who were dear to me and I feel each time that I dont know what to do next. It all started in 2006 I lost my friends mother who was like a second mother to me to Emphysema then only 7 months later I unexpectedly lost my own father to heart attack and stroke now here i sit just comming home from a memorial for a dear friend who was diagnosed thiis past January with brain cancer and she passed away last sunday at the age of 48. I also found out earlier today another dear friend had several small strokes over the past week. Im not sure how to deal woth all this pain and fear, the fear comming from the fact that I in the past few months was diagnosed with something that can be fatal.......I wonder am I next? What should I do?

I hope i can comfort you all with these thoughts, as it comforted me, i've lost my grandmother, and friends to illness too. "No resident will say i'am sick"
( Isaiah 33:24) "He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." ( Revelation 21:4) Soon Jehovah (God) will wipe out pain, sickness and death. You and i won't suffer the loss of those close to us any longer. I have faith in the promise, i hope you have faith in it too....
