Re: (((((((Donna))))))) I am so very, very sorry, Hon.
Dear Christine, Thank you so very much for your prayers, encouraging words and tools to help guide me through the most difficult time of my life. Ironically, I read the book Embraced by the Light several years ago. Even more ironic is that when Nadia saw I had the book, she asked to read it. She was always very curious about what comes after this life. I thank God everyday that my beloved was called home while sleeping. I pray for the families who have lost loved ones by tragedy. Although I have not had a "visit" as others have described, I have had a few very brief moments over the past 2 years that I have had a glimpse of Nadia. The words between us were few and I didn't see her face. I remember laying on the sofa crying asking God to help ease my pain. I fell asleep and remember talking to Nadia. I asked her if she would help me. She answered by simply saying, " I have others to help, they're in trouble". Somehow I felt as though Nadia knew I was strong in faith, and it is my faith that would sustain me through each painful day. I also felt as though somehow she would try and find a way to help the many friends she left behind to draw them closer to God. It is only natural for a mother to know that her children are ok. Praying to have a visit from my beloved Nadia will help ease my pain. My mom passed 28 years ago. I know when she is near me. I smell strong coffee, even if I am in the shower. Aside from losing Nadia, and my mom when I was only 29, I also lost a sister and a wonderful man who I was to marry. Having to endure the loss of so many loved ones is painful. Losing Nadia has altered my life. May God bless you and keep you in His care. Love in Christ, Donna
