Amali Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I live in an extremely small town where, for the most part, everyone knows everyone. So when bad things happen, it affects the entire town. This weekend was a real rough one. Friday, a coach and his wife lost their full-term baby. Saturday, a teacher's assistant from the Elementary School committed suicide. Now this morning, a part of our adopted family, "Mimi" has gone on to be with the Lord. It is so hard to look around and see all the suffering and pain ... but it sure reminds you to count your blessings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 You are so right for we do take life for granted, sometimes we forget that life is precious and we all only have a limited time on this earth and you do not have to look far to find someone else with more problems than we have so take each day as a gift and live life to its fullest until your day is called. So sorry for your loss of Mimi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 We all face these tragic moments and grow through them but that does not lessen the pain, only time and distance from the event dulls that. So sorry your weekend was a sad event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katana600 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 This has been an extra burden on your shoulders, I am so sorry for everyone involved. It is hard to know the suffering of the families involved. As your community comes together to support one another, it helps to know everyone cares. I am sorry for you losing Mimi. It is good that you can look to your other blessings and know you have comfort in your time of loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amali Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Thanks for all the kind words Mimi's funeral was today - a wonderful celebration of her life. One more funeral to go tomorrow and then hopefully we will start to see the healing begin for those around us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffNOK Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Life is so often full of pain. It's a reality we try to deny but are confronted with in those "rough weeks" like you have recently experienced. I pray that in spite of the sadness you will find comfort in your relationships and find joy in all that this world offers== both bitter and sweet.
