I don't think you're supposed to "get over" it. I think you will always miss him. A part will always be missing, and nothing can ever be a replacement.<br />However, you will learn how to live with this and still be a productive, maybe even happy person. And it will take a long time.<br />You will find things to heal the hole in your heart, but they will not be replacements.<br />Kind of like a transplant. Something will fill the hole, and you will be able to function. It won't be the same thing, it will be different. But it will help.<br /><br />This may take years to find. But just keep moving forward. Keep praying for guidance on what to do to help yourself. Read the scriptures. Do some research on LDS.org and see what general authorities have to say on these topics. Get yourself lost in their words.<br />I did that when I was at my worst point (something I've never talked about to anyone other than my parents, and it was different from your experiences, not nearly as difficult, though), and while it didn't solve the problems, it certainly gave me options and a direction to go.<br /><br /><br />Also, you said you will never hug him again. Never hear him again.<br />Nikki, I PROMISE - you can count on this promise, because I know it is true, I cannot ever deny it - you WILL see him. You WILL hug him, kiss him, hold his hand, talk with him, laugh with him, be together.<br /><br />It is so hard to believe, but I know for certain that this life is so short. It sure doesn't seem like it! But I believe that when we pass through the veil and are rejoined with our family members, it will seem like just yesterday that we were last with them. And it will be WORTH it.<br /><br />While there are so many things I personally am excited for (and.. really not so excited for), the thing I am most excited for is the day when I can live with my family forever and be in the presence of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ, our Heavenly Father, and dwell in peace forever and ever.<br /><br /><br />I played this hymn at my close friends funeral a little over a year ago. It has changed my life.<br /><br />Though Deepening Trials<br /><br />Though deepening trails throng your way,<br />Press on, press on ye Saints of God!<br />Ere come the resurrection day<br />Will spread its life and truth abroad.<br />Will spread its life and truth abroad.<br /><br />Though outward ills await us here,<br />The time, at longest, is not long<br />Ere Jesus Christ will reappear,<br />Surrounded by a glorious throng.<br />Surrounded by a glorious throng.<br /><br />Lift up your hearts in praise to God;<br />Let your rejoicings never cease.<br />Though tribulations rage abroad,<br />Christ says in me "Ye shall have peace."<br />Christ says in me "Ye shall have peace."<br /><br /><br />What though our rights have been assailed?<br />What though by foes we’ve been despoiled?<br />Jehovah’s promise has not failed;<br />Jehovah’s purpose is not foiled.<br />Jehovah’s purpose is not foiled.<br /><br />This work is moving on apace,<br />And great events are rolling forth;<br />The kingdom of the latter days,<br />The “little stone,” must fill the earth.<br />The “little stone,” must fill the earth.<br /><br />Though Satan rage, ’tis all in vain;<br />The words the ancient prophet spoke<br />Sure as the throne of God remain;<br />Nor men nor devils can revoke.<br />Nor men nor devils can revoke.<br /><br />All glory to his holy name<br />Who sends his faithful servants forth<br />To prove the nations, to proclaim<br />Salvation’s tidings through the earth.<br />Salvation’s tidings through the earth.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07635107483565191500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32220596389295570.post-62104375742566289462012-01-07T04:20:49.116-07:002012-01-07T04:20:49.116-07:00-massive hugs- can identify with a lot of your emo...-massive hugs- can identify with a lot of your emotions... here's a little song I wrote about my feelings after a very difficult loss ... 5 years ago just gone. Reflects on a Bible verse saying something like in all things praise God. (can't remember it exactly)<br />The darkness seems unending<br />The storm rages inside<br />How much longer is this road, Father,<br />How long till the sun will rise?<br /><br />In this night I will sing your praise,<br />Through this pain I will proclaim<br />Holy is the Lord, Holy is the Lord,<br />Holy is the Lord, Holy is the Lord our God.<br /><br />My world fell around me<br />All I knew was lost<br />One day I’ll be complete again, <br />‘Cos you paid a greater cost<br /><br />In this night I will sing your praise,<br />Through this pain I will proclaim<br />Holy is the Lord, Holy is the Lord, <br />Holy is the Lord, Holy is the Lord our God.<br /><br />In life, in death, I praise your name,<br />In the valleys and depths, I praise your name<br />Oh Holy is the Lord, Holy is the Lord, <br />Holy is the Lord, Holy is the Lord our God.<br /><br />xxxEmmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01693408903446555276noreply@blogger.com
