It has been an encouragement to hear you struggle through "life", just like we all do, and your perspective on it all is so full of truth. what do people do in a time of loss without the amazingness of Christ in their life? thanks for sharing your story...<BR/>caliAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942298247061510776.post-13629312991425385292008-08-29T07:39:00.000-05:002008-08-29T07:39:00.000-05:00Tyson,Do you know of the singing group "Selah"?

This wife/mom has such a way with expressing her grief. The address is: audreycaroline.blogspot.com<BR/>Read the post "Blink" from Friday, July 25, 2008. This one really spoke to me.

It's evidence of the intense love you have for Leslie, which is glorifying to Him. In His time, God will ease the searing pain and heal your broken heart. Today, just rest in the comfort of Christ. It's good to come before the Lord, unable to express our needs, because in that place of humility and dependence, we can allow Him to provide for our needs that only He understands. And we are in a place to receive God's grace and peace in an intimate way. So many times we think we know what we need, when He is the only One who truly knows. I pray that tonight you can rest in Jehovah-Jireh, your Provider, and in Jehovah-Shalom, your Peace-giver.kim phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15910709074111750296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942298247061510776.post-91671184055754930622008-08-28T21:57:00.000-05:002008-08-28T21:57:00.000-05:00All words really seem so inept right now.

I just wanted to direct you to another blog I follow (a Messiah College prof). Her last post had some very insightful bits about "going into" or "going with" grief, rather than "getting over" it. Her words made sense to me. And I thought of you when I read it.

I have no idea what advice you need right now, so I won't even try. I will just pray. Lots. I love you both. And please know that I am crying daily with you. The pain is not going away or getting any easier for me either. It is better, than when I knew she was suffering. At least now it is our pain and not hers. And I too, kind of in a way, enjoy(ok, not sure enjoy is the right word) my crying spells. It means that I am remembering her. I think these crying spells may go on forever. And I think I can deal with that. -JessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942298247061510776.post-37300250513359267922008-08-28T14:40:00.000-05:002008-08-28T14:40:00.000-05:00I know through personal experience how hard it is ...I know through personal experience how hard it is to lose someone close you, someone who you feel was too young, & hadnt done enough living before they had to go meet their maker. <BR/>I want you to know that the void in your heart will never stop hurting but it will hurt less as time goes on. And one day you will see that your life does go on. And that you will be able to laugh again and truly be happy. You might even find yourself loving someone again but this time with more fire and passion because you realize now how life short is and unpredictable it is. But Leslie will never be forgotton by you, TJ nor the people she met. She will always live through you and TJ. She has left a little bit of herself in each of you.<BR/>Peace and love,<BR/>-BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942298247061510776.post-10788048517943771362008-08-28T14:26:00.000-05:002008-08-28T14:26:00.000-05:00I wish I had some profound thought or answer.

Actually, I grew up with Traci (Tiberi) Falder and Troy Tiberi-so I know of you through several degrees of separation. As I was on a walk last evening I heard a song that made me think of you and I felt it to be appropriate after reading your entry today. It is called "When I look to the Sky" by Train. I am not sure if you have heard it, but if not, you should give it a listen. My prayers are with you and TJ.
