My grandpa passed away this past weekend. I think the hardest part about it all is my mom, knowing she is hurting. Being without parent, hard to fathom, hard to feel. A flood of memories of both grandpa and grandma come rushing back. I am thankful that she is able to get back to Philadelphia with her brothers and sister and together begin the healing. I am also thankful my brother is at a place in life he could be there for/with her. Dad is on a job and though he said and wanted to be there he just started the new job and mom said it'd be okay. I really wish I could have been there for the services today and to be sharing in the special family time. I can smile knowing that grandma and grandpa are together again. Know that God welcomed grandpa home with open arms.
“Jesus wept.” (John 11:35) These are heartbreaking, yet comforting words. The Lord knows what it’s like to grieve, to mourn, to lose someone we love. He is with us as we grieve, and He will comfort us with tender care and compassion.
The Lord has comforted His people and will have compassion upon them in their sorrow. Isaiah 49:13
