Title: Loss
Post by: BentonGrey on August 05, 2010, 10:49:03 PM
Hello my friends.  I am writing this to let y'all know that I'll be out of touch for a while.  We've had a loss in the family, and we will be traveling home tomorrow.  This is really hitting my wife hard, and it is going to tear her family up.  Those of you that pray, please remember them.  For those who had agreed to test for me, it will be some time before I can do anything FF related.  I'm sure you understand.

I'm very sorry... good luck with everything and, though I know things like this never turn out okay, I hope that you and your family are able to be there for each other in this obviously difficult time.

Thank you my friends.  We leave tomorrow morning.  I am doing my best to help, but it is difficult when there is little one can do.  Thank you again.

It may not seem like you can do much, but just being there, sharing, and listening with compassion is exactly what people need from you right now.  A death in the family leaves people feeling lost, adrift, and seeking anchors for their souls.  You can be that simply by sharing the love and strength that is in you through your faith.  Just remember that you need your anchor, too.

My prayers go out for you and yours.

Thank you all once again.  We're here in town.  Everyone else is sleeping in, unsurprisingly.  The family is being absolutely incredible, a real blessing.
