My husband and I stay in contact with a few our son's closest friends. I think it reassures them somehow.<br /><br />Blessings,<br /><br />JeanJean Ann Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15357746520145826414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3203581265387872660.post-27286663757527450282009-12-16T09:43:42.626-08:002009-12-16T09:43:42.626-08:00I love this post! You have transparently revealed ...I love this post! You have transparently revealed the journey of grief and learning to trust on and lean on God. Beautifully written.<br /><br />I have experienced threats of suicide from those I loved and this year I lost a dear friend from suicide. It is heart wrenching. I have been grieving in spurts all year.<br /><br />I pray that God will bless you with the strength to grieve what needs more grieving, to feel his comfort as you explore your anger, and that he will continue to help you see things to be grateful for. I also pray that in the proper timing the pain will soften and the holidays will not be so abrasive.<br /><br />You're doing great, Jean Ann. You really can make it through the holidays with Jesus in you and with you. Immanuel literally means God with us. So may you grow in your knowledge of Immanuel this holiday season!<br /><br />Take good care of yourself as you do important grieving.Tanya T.
