When we lose somebody we love, we must learn not to live without them, but to live with the love they left behind. 

My twin sister went to be with Jesus a couple weeks ago.  There is a lot of sorry moving around among our family.  It’s a difficult time.  Grief is hard. It comes in all kinds of packages.  Loss of a loved one, loss of a marriage, loss of friendship, loss of finances, etc etc.  in my meditation, I read the above and it was medicine for my soul.   I guess because coming from a family of ten, I experienced many losses within my family.  I am the only one left.  But, I am a believer in Jesus and the word of God.  His promises are steadfast. The one I lean on when I have lost a love one is that: “We who are still alive will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air” (1 Thessalonians 4:17, emphasis mine). There are many others also.  I lean on scriptures as my healing medicine.  We all have our way to grief….mine is scriptures and prayer.
