Questions on why?????
So it has been a rough couple of weeks for the friends and family that surround me. One friend lost her young sister to suicide, another friend just had a miscarriage tonight, my brothers best friend was killed in a car accident, and then a guy I went to high school with killed himself. I didn't know him well but know of him. What is up with all this death. It makes my heart hurt and there are never good words to say to anyone in any of these situations. I remember how I felt so soon after my dad died and as a people we always mean well by the word we offer but sometimes I think it is just best to listen, not ask questions, and never tell anyone you know how they feel. We never know how anyone feels no matter if we have experienced something similar. We have not walked in their shoes so we don't know what it is like to be them. I am in deep prayer tonight for all the hurting people that are in my life. The song that always comes to mind is the one where the chorus says he gives and takes away my heart will choose to say blessed be his name. God gives and he takes away and we may never know why this side of heaven but I know he has a plan for all of us so I lean on him tonight as he is the only one who can truly comfort the pain that is all around. Love to you all.

Praying for you, and all those mentioned.
I think you are handing it the right way, say little (or nothing), pray for them, and just BE there with them.
Oh Deidra. You have such a sweet and wise spirit. I'll be prayin for you all.
Deidra, I wanted you to know that we received so many, " we know what youre going through's" and "It must have just meant to be's" and "It was just God's will". I was so annoyed that I havent talked to hardly anyone in my family. Not even my parents yet. And then you were just there. You offered your help and a hug and that was perfect. You are still the only person I've talked to about it at all and its because you were so sweet and meek about it all. Thanks so much.
We are very sorry for what happened & will continue to pray for you guys. Please let us know if you need anything at all. You know I'll be there as soon as I can. Love you guys.
I will keep you in my prayers. I found your blog on a search and there must have been a reason.
Praying will continue for all concerned.
Also found this blog in the same search. http://thirsty-land.blogspot.com/
I don't know why God has guided me to send it to you today. It seems to be a daily devotional/diet blog.
Keep holding on to what you know is true! ~ Pam from Texas
