My wife and myself both lost our moms last year, so understand your grief.
I agree the world dosent seem to have time for caring, it hurts, and its sad.

Sorry for your recent loss and the pain in your life right now. Turning to God will definitely help you thru this process. He brought you to this forum for a reason and that is because there are many God loving people here who will pray for you and your family. Just reach out to God and ask Him for whatever you need. And the let go and let God do the rest. He will help you and guide you. We ask this in Jesus name. Amen

Hi Beano. I, too, am very sorry for your loss. My mom passed on twenty nine years ago (when I was 18), my grandmother ten years ago and my precious sister just last August. I know how much it hurts and how it changes your life. I don't think there is such a thing as loving and caring too much. We just have to learn how to love and care like God does and live life with an open hand toward Him. He walks with us through it all... loving us and never letting go. We have to trust Him. That's not easy! But He has proved Himself ever and always trustworthy... even in the hardest, most devastating pain.
I pray that you would know you are safe and embraced in His love today and always and that your sons will seek His face.

I am so sorry that you have lost your Mom. I have lost my Dad and Mom is here physically but is losing her mind to dementia, so I know your feeling of loss. Our children often have to go off like the Prodigal Son before they realize how very much they are loved and cared about. Pray that God brings good Christian friends into their lives to influence them for Good. COntinue to pray for them , but release them to God knowing that He is watching and He knows the plan even though we do not. God can work all things for good, trust Him.

Hi Beano, Welcome to DS. There are so many dear people on this site who will stand with you and can relate with you what you are going through. Sorry to hear about all you are going through right now. May God comfort you. Being a caring person is wonderful! Blessed are the merciful for they shall receive. Matthew 5:1-16 should be what we all aim for. Compassion was the heartbeat of our Savior. He cared for a loss and dying world. I pray that the Father would give you peace as you walk through these final days with your father. May His presence fill that sick room and draw each one of you closer to Him. May He free your father from all fear and take him to the end free of pain.In Jesus Name.
May He give you wisdom when to pull back with your sons and release them into His care. He loves them so much. We can trust Him. I know it is hard. I had to watch my children walk away from the Lord and make decisions that I knew were wrong but I know God is faithful. Stand on His word for your children. God Bless!

Thank you so much to all of you who have replied regarding the loss of my Mom and the difficulties of two of my sons. Prayer does work because little things have changed one by one, and I'm feeling more peace about things. The power of prayer is fabulous. Hugs.............

I am sorry for your loss and what you are going through. I wish you peace. I think most of us don't really feel at home here in this World. I know I don't. And, yes, I agree, we sure could use a whole lot more caring in our lives. But, God is there and he cares and he will always be there.
hugs.

I'm so sorry about your loss. My prayers are with you.

Welcome Beano, you will find lots of caring supportive people here. I'm praying for you as I know your pain, having lost my Mother the day after Christmas. As for feeling like an oddball, I do too at times, so I figure, without a few oddballs our world would be very boring.

I'm so sorry for your loss and want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. hugs, Debbie

So So Soooooo sorry for your loss and my love and prayers go out to you. Need to talk, I'm always here for you...Dina

I'm very sorry for the loss of your mom. I pray that the Lord cover you with His peace. Lift your sons up to Him, and He will give you the wisdom that you need to raise them up for His purpose. I can't imagine how people manage to tackle the challenge of parenting without His mercy and grace in their lives! Praise Him. He is THE answer... no matter what the question might be.

Hello, I too am very sorry about the loss of your mom. I lost my dad 2 1/2 years ago and he was 55. That's wonderful that you care for them so much!! Some people don't have that kind of love from someone. It's such a hard thing to deal with. The thing I dwell on with my father not here is that I know that someday we'll be together again! That's a wonderful feeling. Hold on tight to God and he'll get you through this. He's a good God and he loves you and feels your pain. We are praying for you. Hang in there! May God bless you abundantly!

You will defiantly find comfort here. I am sorry to hear that your mom passed as well as your father not doing well. We all have our issues and baggage. Remember here your are not judged! Only God can do that. I pray for God to be with you and to help you through this. In Jesus name, amen!

I will keep you and your Family in my Prayers. I am so sorry for your loss. God Bless Your Family
