Believe. That is a powerful word. My beliefs were really put to the test when I lost my son many years ago. I still, to this day, am not sure what I believe in. The only thing I can say is some way, somehow I will be reunited with Dustin in the next lifetime. If I didn’t think that was true, I would not be here. Simple as that.

I have questioned my beliefs but have become stronger as I read more and understood more. However it is my experience of faith that has made me even stronger than before.
Good for you Dawn. Not that easy for me.
Keep believing your faith will never fail you.
I try really hard but it has let me down many times.
A lot depends on who you put your faith in….
A Christian walk does not guarantee everything going right all the time.
People sometimes assume that everything goes right when you do everything right but I will tell you honestly not necessarily so.
Yes, I believe Dustin is with you in spirit.
Life can be hard sometimes.
I was a Christian my entire life until I lost Dustin. Now everything has been doubted and questioned. And yes my “faith” has let me down many times.
….”People sometimes assume that everything goes right when you do everything right but I will tell you honestly not necessarily so.”
I know very well things do not work out. Yes life is hard. That is a mild word.
You lose your child. Life is worse than hard. Your world is shattered. You are told things happen for a reason… not losing your child. I never want to hear things happen for a reason. Please. No reason or justification for losing your child. An innocent child.
I try really hard not to get into this discussion. It goes nowhere. Some questions will never be answered.
I guess some of my questions will never be answered either to be honest. I don’t know why people lose their children.
Or why bad things happen to others..
Life can be very unfair at times.
That is so true, sadly….I know its so unfair….
Life is full of assumptions, failure and questions………
Yes indeed, that is a true statement. Unanswered questions.
If your belief is perfect then there is no reason of question on it.
Who has a perfect belief? Perfection does not exist in my world.
We may have been through the most painful stage in our life. But I always believe that God won’t give us trials we can’t handle.
I used to believe that Sharon until I lost my son. Why did he allow that to happen? Many many unanswered questions. No parent should ever outlive their child. Ever.
Have a great weekend.
Sometimes bad moments come to our lives. At the time, it is very important that we have something in what we believe because it is easier to survive these moments.
Yes you are right, as always. Thanks for your continued support.
Throughout my life, I have realized that some of the things I believed before turned out to change, and some basic things, once again also experienced major changes in recent days.
For one thing, we must continue to have something to hold on to survive.
I know some things have happened recently. I just trust all is well. And I do agree we all must have something to hold on to. That is the key in life.
Indeed a lot of things have happened recently, but somehow I feel the need to thank Him.
Then that is what you should do. Take care my friend.
Very nice stone and even more beautiful inscription, dear Carol …
Thank you dear lado, it is a favorite in the garden.
I believe you and I hope you remember only the beautiful moments when you’re there, my dear friend
Thank you, I needed those word of support my friend.
You can always count on me, dear Carol
