That was a terrible thing to go through, for a young couple.

I just heard about the journey you and your family have been on, and I'm heartbroken for you and the loss of your husband. As I've been reading through your blog, the love, courage, and grace with which you've traveled this road is inspiring. I will continue to uplift you and your family in thought and prayer. Much love and blessings to you. <3Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600335283208015329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-677863487462416615.post-74308757637032066832016-04-26T09:29:11.902-07:002016-04-26T09:29:11.902-07:00Cas - I am so terribly sad to hear this.

I don't know you, and you don't know me, but we have a couple of mutual friends - one being Natalie who posted a link to this on FB. Three and a half years ago, when my children were 5 and 8, I lost my husband to cancer. My story is different from yours in that his battle was long and I had much more time to prepare myself and my children for what I knew was coming, but there are some aspects of your story that just sound so familiar. Like you two, my husband and I had also planned on a life of mission service. (And believe it or not, that's actually what I'm currently doing!) Just know that I am praying for you and your children, and if you ever feel the need to connect with somebody who is also walking the road of young widowhood, please don't hesitate to look me up on FB.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962629234208557533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-677863487462416615.post-50882568326892785392016-04-24T22:33:42.399-07:002016-04-24T22:33:42.399-07:00Cas, we have never met but I have heard your story...Cas, we have never met but I have heard your story from mutual friends.

There was never any peace or light. I have come to wonder if it would have come if I'd looked for it. I'm so proud of you. Please keep looking for that light. Do not let the darkness take it away. I wanted to reach out to you to provide support, and I still am willing if you need it, but tonight, you supported me.Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14666361826903311665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-677863487462416615.post-45007150259552595582016-04-24T18:44:54.091-07:002016-04-24T18:44:54.091-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14666361826903311665noreply@blogger.com
