Five Minute Friday: Change
The house is so quiet and
empty. I can hardly stand to turn
the door handle and go inside, knowing she’s not there. It’s been two weeks and
I still miss her so much. I feel empty inside – like a piece of me is missing.
She’s been a part of my life for so long; adjusting to life without her is
difficult. I hate death and what it brings: pain, separation, loneliness, and
grief. I long for the day when God will restore all that’s good with a remade,
perfect world. I want to return to the past, when she was here and healthy and
relive all the good times we had together. I wonder about the future – what
does God have in store for me? It’s the present – the now – living through this
change that is so hard. I’m so thankful for God’s presence and the care of
family and friends who understand. And I know I will get through this; it will just take time.

Praying for you today. I remember when I lost my "child with fur." Wish I could reach out and just give you a hug.
Saying prayers for you.
oh yes, this is a grieving ...
A most unwelcomed change - we lost a beloved Golden, Sam in June. I know the empty, my friend. My heart aches with you.
Change can be very hard. Saying a prayer for you today.
Our family went through the loss of our 12 year old dog, Jake, about a year ago. It was an awful time for our family. I would have never guessed that making an irrational decision to get a puppy shortly after would be just what we needed. We have a 1 year old sweet as can be husky lab that we all just love to pieces. She didn't replace Jake, but was just what we needed.
