Our congregation, of about 400, has had eight deaths to members or close family of members in ten days. So many messages, even of victory and comfort, is draining. We are praying for strength and comfort as we move forward.

Thank you, Chiyosan. I believe dealing with grief helps to build bonds within a community, so despite our anguish, we will grow.

WE have a friend who had two deaths in a month. My wife lost two friends in a month and found a friend whose wife has cancer so there are many who are suffering right now.

i am sorry about those losses,its emotionally draining and loosing some many people in such a short time takes alot of faith to believe that God is still by your side but you must not tire or give up,just keep praying for them and being a shoulder to lean on and remember when we are at our lowest that's when the good Lord has carried us, i hope you know the foot prints story.
