I really struggled to let go of 2008. I didn't want the year to end let alone start a new one. My sister was alive in 2008....but she won't be alive in 2009 and that is hard to bear. My family got through Christmas very well and we really did have a wonderful time. But I did miss Erin tremendously. The last 7 months have been a blur and I wonder when I'll feel normal again. I know somehow I must be gaining strength from this trial but why do I feel weaker than ever?

I am so sorry, Shannon. I don't have any revelatory words of comfort or advice; I'm not sure why things happen the way they do. Just know that many people love you and are thinking about you. Call me if you ever need to talk.
I am sorry for your loss. I had the same feelings when my favorite aunt and grandfather past away. We will always miss them. We just have to pray for help because Satan will drag us down. He is really good at it during these times. I hope things get better for you.
Shannon I am so sorry! Know too that I am here for whatever you need and know that the other side is never to far for them to hear you!
Shannon,
I'm sorry that you are still having such a difficult time with everything. It's so hard to lose someone you love. Sometimes I like to look at death more like a long trip. We are so lucky to know that Erin is not really gone. She has just moved on to another plain. She is still around you- more than she was before- and sharing in all your joys and sorrows. Just remember that she is in a beautiful, peaceful, happy place, and would want you to be hopeful and happy. You'll see her again and when you do it will be a joyful reunion and you will both be free from earthly cares. Hang in there. Let me know what you need, I'm always here to help!
Sweet Shannon,
I'm glad you're looking for strength and growth in this trial (even if you don't think you've found it yet. I bet you have grown more than you've given yourself credit for already.)
Times of trial are a good opportunity to rely on the Lord, as I know you're doing. I hope He can help you carry this burden as time goes on. We love you!
