Psalm 73:26 gets me through a lot. Thank you for sharing this, and I'll continue to lift you and your family up in prayer.tinabopperTinahttp://gravatar.com/tinaboppernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-466899461500603648.post-82167812596520510982014-07-01T09:37:31.000-07:002014-07-01T09:37:31.000-07:00Lindsay always remember that others can not feel w...Lindsay always remember that others can not feel what you feel until they have loss a brother, it's been 7 years since Kimberly died and it still feels like yesterday. I still cry when I see a car like her, or a picture that reminds me of our fun times together, Just you only will be able to feel how special of the relationship you and Micah had. Don't let other hurt your feelings cause they can't understand the hurt you feel. How can you know someone all your life and that person is gone not feel a great loss. I am still praying for your family I know I am still hurting too. We will never forget or truly go on as others can with there life cause there will always be a empty space in our heart and life. Love your family. I hope I help you not hurt you. God know our life and He cares.!!!!!Gailnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-466899461500603648.post-40107741879983596582014-07-01T09:37:59.000-07:002014-07-01T09:37:59.000-07:00Thanks so much, Tina!

I also want to tell you that I am a recovering drug addict and have been sober almost 4 years. The struggle to stay sober and clean has been a challenge,however as the days go by,it gets easier and easier. I have now a great relationship with God who loves me despite ALL my imperfections. Addiction is a diease just as diabetes,and cancer. When someone with cancer or any other terminal disease dies we don't say negative,cruel remarks. I have found that the alcohol and drug were but a sympton and the problem was lying within me. We are all part of a big dysfunctional family,we were ALL born into sin,and only the saving through Christ Jesus can restore us. It is unfortunate but some of us turn to drugs/alcohol in order to cope with life,and some don't,however that does not make us any less of a person. I did not know your brother however I know his struggles as do all of us who struggle with addiction. As far as the cruel comments go, well all I know is ignorance is found in all type of people. I do know this, your brother is no longer suffering with any affliction, he is at peace. <br>Thank you for this dedication to your brother. May God comfort you, and your familySherrinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-466899461500603648.post-76568206354982798632014-07-01T10:12:01.000-07:002014-07-01T10:12:01.000-07:00Sherri, I so appreciate you taking the time to rea...Sherri, I so appreciate you taking the time to read this and comment. I want this blog to help and I want to be able to heal through it as well. I think it's so sad that people want to focus on others issues even in their death but we are so much more than our issues. I am thankful that you were able to go through recovery for you and your family. Thank you again for the sweet words.lindsaygmckeeverhttp://alwaysasister.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-466899461500603648.post-53008589983990539982014-07-01T10:42:07.000-07:002014-07-01T10:42:07.000-07:00I am so sorry for your loss!

In time, you will integrate Micah's death into your living. His story will become your story. In the months ahead you may feel like others are forgetting him. You may see people eating, laughing and living and it makes it hard to breathe because the fact that he is no longer creates a void in your soul that you will feel like is impossible to live with. Keep telling his story. Keep talking. Keep breathing. It won't ever go away, but in time, it will ease...and don't feel guilty for letting go. One breath, one step, one day at a time. <br>Leigh Ann Stroudstroudleighhttp://leighannstroud.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-466899461500603648.post-83778745053202288992014-07-01T13:40:05.000-07:002014-07-01T13:40:05.000-07:00Enjoyed reading your post.

There are so many days I want to pick up the phone and talk to her or go see her and give her a hug but she is no longer here all I have are her Memories! It's so hard losing someone it doesn't matter what they did they are a part of you It's gruel for people to say bad things to you or your Mother I know it's hard but try to ignore what they say you know how you feel more than anyone!
