I have just returned from the the Thanksgiving service for my elder sister Ellen aged 93years who passed into the presence of the Lord on Thursday10th July. There is always a sense of grief when a loved one passes into the presence of the Lord, even though we know will be reunited with them when Jesus returns.
The following are personal thoughts on dealing with grief. I found it helpful to express my thoughts in articles I have written on my WordPress site. I sometimes find it helpful myself to click back on these articles to read what I was feeling at the time they were written.
They are blogs numbers 364, 369 and 370 on my blog site www.jimholbeck.blog
I also had written a tribute to my wife just 48 hours after she had passed into the presence of the Lord. This was number 329.
