Mel, I am sorry that you are down and that your faith is weak just when you need it to be strong. Listen to your Nan Mel, she was obviously a very wise woman. Often things happen in our lives that we can just find no reason for, people suffer who are the 'good' ones in our lives and people die who we feel didn't deserve to. I can't offer any advice on this but I am sure if you can find the ability to return to your faith and prayer you will feel more at peace with yourself.

Thanks Rach just been to candle site and seen your candle. I love that site it also makes me feel at peace. My Mum is a GR member and uses it to so it will be a comfort for her to see too. x

Thank you Bridget for your kind words and thoughts. My own faith is very weak right now and my words seem very inadquate. I can't quite put my thoughts into words. x

Oh Footie, I believe that we haven,t "talked" to each other before but the sadness you managed to send simply begged a reply.
Life can be very cruel sometimes and we find it hard to understad why such sad things and burdensome trials and tribulations come our way.

Maybe some one up there knows that we will manage somehow, with good friends and faith,,for I truly do believe in faith.

I shall add you to my daily quiet time , which is usually in the early hours of the morning, I sit and try to see the good things in life and then silently I talk to someone I believe in and ask that the people on my list are supported and helped in such difficult times. I also thank him for the help and resolutions he has given to others.


Prayers and quiet thoughs are sent to you

Bridget

but last nite when in total despair I heard my Nan's words ... and she said them often enough to me "when its hardest to pray, pray your hardest". Some of you know I'm having a bad time of it lately and it all totally beyond me. I lost an Uncle the weekend - he hadn't been ill but he left us anyway, my cousin is ill and has had an op but it will be a few days before we know if its worked or not and my closest Uncle is seriously ill, the family have been told they need to decide whether or not to discontinue treatment or not. Today is also the anniversary of my brothers death he would have been 43 yesterday - he's my guardian angel and feel him v much today. Please forgive me if I do or say the wrong thing my my burden is heavy and I can find no rest (more of my Nan's words). Thank you to all those who have shown me kindness and supported me just lately I would not have got through without you.
