please pray for me

[wiggles]

Hi

I have been a member for a while, but I have never posted before now. If anyone reads the post have had lost thier father please let me know how you got through it. Back in Dec. the Dr. gave my dad 6 months to live, because of his heart. Well on Friday the 16th I lost my dad. Please pray for me if you will. I was daddy's little girl. When I went to see him two weeks ago out in Calif. I saw some people that belongs the same club he does and they would ask me if I was Joni (nickname) and I would say yes and they said I have heard all about you, he brags on you all the time. It makes me feel good about that, but I just wish I could have him back. He was only 67 years old. He was a christian and I am too, I know I can hold on to that hope we will see each other again. So if you read this and you have lost your dad please let me know how you got through it. Thank you Joni

Hi wiggles and welcome back to TJ.

I have moved your post to the prayer request section as you have requested prayers.

I am sorry to hear of your loss of your dad as you were dadddy's little girl.

My daughter lost her daddy at the tender age of nearly 4 yrs of age. She was daddy's little girl too. She has grown up missing her daddy and I still don't think she has got over it properly.

My dad died before I was born again and I don't even know if he gave his heart to Jesus as he died suddenly in his sleep back in 1981 just 6 wks after losing my husband. So my children lost their daddy and their grandad in a short space of time.

I was not close to my dad so do not have the same loss as you experience so I will pray for you.

I love to crochet too by the way and find it a good relaxing hobby.

God bless :rose: :rainbow:

Father I pray that you would surround wiggles with Your love and give her comfort and peace at this difficult time of adjusting to the loss of her dad. Help her to remember all the good times she had and bring the right people alongside her in her grief which we all have to go through. We know they are in a better place but it is such a loss for us here. Bless her and encourage her as she rebuilds her life with her children without her dad and their grandad. In Jesus' name amen

I have just found something online for you too.

Question: "How do I find comfort and peace when I have lost a loved one to death?"

Answer: Losing a loved one to death is a painful experience. Jesus understood the pain of losing someone close to His heart. In the Book of John (11:1-44), we learn that Jesus lost a friend named Lazarus. Jesus was deeply moved and wept at the loss of His friend. This story, however, doesn't end in tears. Jesus knew He possessed the power needed to raise Lazarus from the dead. Jesus says, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die" (John 11:25 NIV). Jesus overcame death through His resurrection. It is comforting to know that death is not the end for those who believe. Those who know Jesus as Savior will have eternal life (John 10:28). God has prepared a new home for us where there will be no more death, tears or pain (Revelation 21:1-4).

While you are healing from the loss of a loved one, God will comfort you (2 Corinthians 7:6). The Bible tells us that God is the father of mercies and God of all comfort and that He will comfort us in all our tribulations (2 Corinthians 1:3-4). Be assured that God loves you and that He understands how much you are hurting. God promises you in Isaiah 43:2 that when you go through deep waters and great trouble, He will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. Run to the shelter of the Most High where you will find sweet rest (Psalm 91:1-2).

Hope this will give you some comfort too.

God bless :rose: :rainbow:

hi wiggles,
I lost my dad when I was three, almost four,In some way that makes it easier but in others it makes it harder. I too was very very close to my dad(more so than anyone else), daddy's little girl, just like you but I was too young to fully understand what had happened back then an because I was so young i don't have many memories but I still miss him.

The way in which I deal which it is to first accept what has happened and talk about it openly(the more I talk the easier it becomes.) When you are feeling down, think of all the good times you had with him and be happy by just remembering how happy you both were at those times.
If you feel alone it may help to just talk, when you're alone talk as though he is in the room with you listening to what you have to say. It also helps to have a photograph or a drawing of him close to you most of the time, it helps to bring the feeling that he is with you in person as he is in your heart!
It might help to talk to some of his friends or any aunts or uncles you may have(someone close to him) and find out some more about his achievements anything like that...when I hear about achievements of my dad it makes me feel so proud therefore making me happy.
The most important thing to remember is that he has not left you! He will always be there with you wherever you go in you heart because you love him!
I know its hard to stay positive but do what you can to keep yourself happy such as some of the things i mentioned earlier like looking back at good time you had with him. aside from all of this you also have to make sure you life keeps taking it usual plan...no matter what you do...no matter how far you travel your dad will always be there with you and thats a great feeling knowing that.

Try to stay positive!
I will pray for you!
god bless!

Thank you. My husband has said if I need to talk that he is here for me. My sister-in-law has said the same thing. My aunt is going to send me a disc of pictures of him when we was younger, some before I was even born. Again thank you very much. God Bless

Praying for you at this time sister. Praying for you.

In His Love

 

[EuphoricForest]

I shall pray for you also, sister. But remember this, although it may be hard at times, I truly believe that your father is in a much much better place, and its easy for me to say for i am not the one who lost a dad, but try hard to remember that your father is extraodinarily happy in heaven with God right now, and sometime in the future, you will be able to rejoice with him in heaven, also.

So have no fear, i will pray for you, and so will the others, therefore you are in good hands.

God Bless:boy_hug:

[wiggles]

Thank you to everyone for praying for me. This is the third full day without him and I feel very peacefull right now. I don't know what Father's day will be like for me, since I can't call him. Then also his Birthday, Thanksgiving and Christmas. That will be the hard part for me. Thank you for all of your prays. God Bless all of you.

 

[Faithful Son]

Try not to think of how or what those days of celebration will bring sister. Jesus said we should never worry about tomorrow, never.

Keep the good memories inside of you, ask for guidance from God and thank God for allowing your Father to have been a Christian.

I will keep you in my prayers sister, do not worry, give it all to God.

God bless you
Much love

My prayers are with you sister. I still have my dad, so I can't say that I know how you feel. However, I do know the heart-wrenching pain of losing someone very dear. As teraside said, don't concentrate on how you will deal with special occasions without your dad. You will have good days and you will have bad. There is no time limit or special formula for grief. We all grieve differently. Just remember that your dad accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, and accordingly, he has God's promise of eternal life. Cherish your memories of your dad, and remind yourself that you will see him again, and when you do, you will never have to say goodbye again.

I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. (John 11: 25-26)

My step mom

Now that my dad is gone. And my step mom has all of my dad's stuff. She has told her daughter (my dad adopted her when she was 12 and she is now 21) that she can have everything that was his, she said that in front of my sister. They did not get married until my sister and I were in our twenties. We are to be getting insurance money that my dad had for us. But it is like we were never my dad's girls. I just don't know what to do. I feel like I can't do anything about it if my dad did not say it in writing who he wants to have what. My dad was not rich, put it is my dad's stuff. I know that her daughter is allowed to get some stuff, I am not wanting to hold everything back from her. But I don't think she should get everything. Thank you for all of your prayers. I can feel them because I am getting better about losing my dad. God bless all of you
