Comfort After Losing Someone

Comfort After Losing Someone

"One night as I was praying and crying [after my mother's death], I felt comfort fill my body--suddenly and powerfully. The feeling restored me; it gave me peace. It did not last long physically, yet it was immensely comforting. I knew what it was--the Lord's love encircling me and granting me peace and strength. But just as important, that moment has remained in my memory as a sweet gift to unwrap and remember when life is difficult.

"Sometimes, too, the moments of love and the resultant peace have come unexpectedly and when there has been no need--no particular problem or issue I have been facing."

(Kathleen H. Hughes, "Remembering the Lord's Love," Ensign, Nov. 2006, 111)

Someone Losing Comfort

I recently went through the death of my Grandmother (which was a Mother to me because she raised me since the age of 1). She was 82 years old and I knew (deep in my heart) that the day of her leaving this Earth was close. I mourned, I cried but at the same time I had a feeling of peace and satisfaction that she was now, no longer in pain and she was reunited with her loved ones and was at peace. She was a wonderful woman and I knew she would be a blessing in the other side of the veil. I am thankful to Heavenly Father for the knowledge I have about the Eternities.
