    Prayer changes things. It’s the only thing that helped me get through the grief when my father passed away. Because I have Asperger Syndrome (a form of autism) I was very emotionally dependent on my father. Not to mention the financial dependence. But the grief caused me to turn to God eventually and that is what helped.
    I pray for you and your friend and hope God comforts you.
    Blessings,
    Nissa

      Aww, sweetie, thank you for reaching out today and sharing what you have in your comment. It means a lot when others share their stories as well. Bless you. I cannot begin to imagine how hard that was on you when you lost your father. I’m not sure how long ago that was, but I’m praying for you and know that God will help you through all of this.

    Loss of a love one is never easy. Being there as a friend is the best. Listen and love them.

    Praise God that we know that we’ll see our saved loved ones again one day. I lost my Dad when I was 17, so I understand the feeling of loss. Great article and tips for those going through it. Shared this one!

      Aww, thank you, Jamie, for sharing the post! I appreciate that very much. I’m so sorry that you lost your father at such a young age. 🙁 But there is blessed assurance, as you said, that we will be reunited with our loved ones … one sweet day!

    What a sweet and thoughtful post! Sometimes prayer is all we can do for a friend and that can be so powerful even though it doesn’t feel like we are really “doing” anything!
