  Losing any family member is truly a devastating. No words are enough to console the bereaved family. I'd like to share a poem which has been around for a long time, which I immediately recalled upon reading this post. My sincerest condolences.....

  Footprints in the Sand
  
  
  One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
  Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
  In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
  Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
  other times there were one set of footprints.
  
  This bothered me because I noticed
  that during the low periods of my life,
  when I was suffering from
  anguish, sorrow or defeat,
  I could see only one set of footprints.
  
  So I said to the Lord,
  "You promised me Lord,
  that if I followed you,
  you would walk with me always.
  But I have noticed that during
  the most trying periods of my life
  there have only been one
  set of footprints in the sand.
  Why, when I needed you most,
  you have not been there for me?"
  
  The Lord replied,
  "The times when you have
  seen only one set of footprints,
  is when I carried you."

  Orphan Annie, I have just suffered a similar loss of loved one, too. As one grieving person to another, I know there is only one thing that will truly bring relief, and that cannot be had. For me, just getting to the end of the day seems an accomplishment. I hope you will have plenty of support around to help you through the dark times. I wish I could be more upbeat here, but in my current state, this is the best I can do. My deepest condolences to you .
