Writing instead of verbalizing always helps me, so I hope this helps you relieve some of the pain from such a loss. I think so much of you and your family and this tragedy really broke my heart for you guys. It's still so unbelievable. I can't begin to imagine what all you are feeling, but hope the love and prayers coming to you are felt and help while you grieve and take on each day. Your ending verse is so true and I hope you feel God's love and comfort more than ever.<br />Lots of love to you, AmandaAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07719542296769029045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8768759619140659558.post-67999815022701812662011-04-12T21:32:55.583-06:002011-04-12T21:32:55.583-06:00This was so hard to read, JulieBug.

I just don't know how you go from here. You're right-- you do your best to live with the loss. And I think heaven and death look a heck of a lot different now. Duh. Obviously. I know you know the verse about the Lord being close to the brokenhearted. And I just keep praying that He would hold you so close. That you'd be able to experience that peace that passes ALL understanding. I can remember during a particular hard time of my life (Which is nothing in comparison to this really) laying in bed and crying out from the depths of my gut for God to be real and to be big and to comfort me and hold me so so tight. For hours crying and begging. And I can remember telling myself that He promises to never leave me or forsake me and that He is close to the brokenhearted over and over again. And verses pertaining to comfort and hope and peace would freaking hit me upside the head. I'm praying that for you... That in the times of your deepest despair that the Lord would throw some verses into your head... From when we were little and memorized them so well...and that His word and promises would carry you into the next day. Day after day. Because I just don't know how else one can survive such a loss other than to cling full force and to purposely wrap yourself in eternal promises that you know are true. I admire you my friend. Your bravery to write this all out and to follow through with it as a step of healing and remembering... Blows my mind. I've witnessed your love for Alex and I know how special he is to your family. I promise I can still hear him yelling "julieanneeeeeee" just like it was yesterday. Know that so many are continuing to pray for you guys. I love you and am praying everyday throughout my days.RachBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12121191268348871375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8768759619140659558.post-9427139939530583102011-04-12T13:10:03.507-06:002011-04-12T13:10:03.507-06:00I am so sorry Julie!
