R.I.P.

Stan, with all the traumatic things that go on in this world, personal stories bring people so much closer to their own mortality. We have all lost someone close to us and the questions of why never seem to be answered with enough explanation to make it hurt any less. You will be hurting, hurting for a long time. This was a horrible accident and you must remember the good times now. This was but one brief moment in your lives. You will endure and carry the happy thoughts of his life with you for the rest of your days.

For now, I leave you with this.

One day at a time - this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone. And do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering. Ida Scott Taylor
 
Stan, I am very sorry for your loss!



I know that you have said before that you are not a particularly religious person, but please allow me this prayer for the loss of your good friend.




Lord, God
you are attentive to the voice of our pleading.
Let us find in your Son comfort in our sadness,
certainty in our doubt,
and courage to live through this hour.
Make our faith strong through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Lord,
Jonny is gone now from this earthly dwelling,
and has left behind those who mourn his absence.
Grant that we may hold his memory dear,
never bitter for what we have lost
nor in regret for the past,
but always in hope of the eternal kingdom
where you will bring us together again.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.




RIP Jonny.
 
Stan..

during this hard time don't forget to take care of yourself...if you need anything just ask.....
 
"Grieving is a part of life

That no one looks forward to

But in order to move on with life

It's something that you must do.



Some times it seems much easier

To tuck your feelings away

Then to deal with the pain your feeling

As you live from day to day.



So if you feel like crying

Just let your emotions flow

Don't listen to what society says

It's okay to let your feelings show.



Hidden feelings of years gone by

Can cause a lot of pain

They bubble up to the surface

And make you feel like a clogged drain.



So put your faith and trust in God

To help you see this through

He will be there for each step

For you to hang on to."


My Prayers are with you and yours.
 
Stan I am very sorry to hear about this.

It is very common for young people to believe bad things will never happen to them, I know when I was young I thought I would never get hurt. I have been very lucky that I did not die when I was younger, especially looking back at some of the stupid things I did.

I know your friend is in a better place, although he was too young to go.

Stan, very sorry to hear about your loss. my thoughts are with you and his family during this time. Don't hesitate if you need anything.
 
The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name' sake.



Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: For thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou annointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.



Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
the courage to change the things I can;
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.


May you and your friend find peace, My Friend.
-Jake

RIP Jonny.

Stan- I'm sorry for your loss. It's okay to take a few days off. Hell, you're even allowed to shed a tear or two (I do it when the gas gauge gets below 1/8 tank).

If you need anything, or just someone to talk to, feel free to PM me.

I know this is easier said than done, but you need to attempt to quit playing this over and over in your head. That's not a good thing to be doing right now.

Is there someone close to you that you can spend some time with? Or better yet, someone that you can go see and spend a few days with? Now is the time to be close to others that you can share your grief with. Do not lock yourself in seclusion and dwell on this.
