My mom died 11 years ago, just within weeks of me moving my family to Japan. Mom had fought leukemia for over a decade, clinging to life as long as she could so that she could enjoy being a grandmother to our daughter, until she was 3 years old. Then after we moved far away, God took her away. Before when she was so near death, she told us that she could feel the presence of Jesus next to her in the hospital, giving her a choice to come with Him, or to stay and keep fighting. This last time, however, He was not there and she knew that she was not being given a choice.
So many questions I still wish I could ask her. So many conversations I still want to have with her. But she's gone, taking the wealth of information in her mind with her. The questions I wish I could ask her about my childhood. The secrets she kept. Her soul sleeps, awaiting the Last Day for when we are all called to heaven. On that day, I pray you will see your brother again in the sky. When that time comes, hold his hand high and don't let go.
Dear God, give our brother peace and comfort in his moments of loss. I weep for this loss. I truly do.
TY... 🙏🙏
I couldn't have said it better. I lost my big brother and I miss him every day. Others before him. We are a real family and that's why it hurts so bad. Just know without that hurt you would never have known the love.
🙏🙏
Amen and Amen!
So beautifully said for our brother purkiss. 💕
Our heartfelt prayers are with you and your family. 💔
Knowing how much Our Father loves His Beloved Children will ease this separation until we are all reunited for Eternity.
May God's Grace be with you fren! 🙏🙌😘
This. I am so very sorry. May His angels stay close to comfort you and yours during this painful time.
That made me think of Footprints in the Sand:
One night I dreamed a dream. I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to me and one to my Lord.
When the last scene of my life shot before me I looked back at the footprints in the sand. There was only one set of footprints. I realized that this was at the lowest and saddest times of my life. This always bothered me and I questioned the Lord about my dilemma.
"Lord, You told me when I decided to follow You, You would walk and talk with me all the way. But I'm aware that during the most troublesome times of my life there is only one set of footprints. I just don't understand why, when I need You most, You leave me."
He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you, never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."
Thank you so much.... Means a lot to me... 🙏 Mother, Father and now Brother... All in heaven... 😥
Its difficult to get to the age when most of the people you treasured are gone. They live on in our hearts.
Absolutely....
So sorry about your brother - I too have lost a brother mother & father - 3 of my favorite people that were on this earth 🥲 - It hurts… may God carry & comfort you.
Ty🙏
I talk to all of my loved ones who have crossed over and i get signs from the them that that are close.
Heaven is for real and God's Heaven on Earth is all around us. ✝️
👍👌🙏🏻
I feel for you. I have lost my Father and my younger sister (she died about 2 years ago). Not much else I can say except you will undoubtedly have more prayers from here than you will ever know.
Ty, I have seen that...🙏🏻
💔🙏
👍🙏🏻
Sad to hear that.
I know it's rough.
If it means anything, when I dream, I see my relatives who crossed over and it's as if they never left.
I don't believe in death the way most do. I believe our consciousness continues to exist on a higher plane.
Dear fren
I am really sorry to hear this news, and somehow it feels more unfair that this has happened to you, you give so much energy to the world via GAW that it seems unfair that the world wants to take more from you.
May you and your family have the strength you need to at this time.
Ty, I really appreciate it.... 🙏🙏
When you are ready, Pur, please make a post telling us about your brother.
Until then, know that he who has a grieving heart is never in grief alone. Be comforted by He who has known more grief than anyone...
Thank you for those kind words... 🙏
Pur, I just want to reiterate. It feels good that you've felt support from the board community over the years. Because it really goes hand in hand with the fact that you have made an outstanding contribution to this board and its community over the years.
The support this post is getting is clear evidence that the community knows and feels that.
Again, Thank you Guys and Gals for the support... Means the World to me... 🙏🙏
I’m so sorry for your loss. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Hold on to the special memories you have of your brother. This will see you through this difficult time.
I appreciate it... 🙏
Psalms 30:5b "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning."
I am so sorry for you and your family in their time of sorrow at the passing of your brother... While we can't always understand the ways of God...we can always know that His love endures forever and there is comfort in knowing that He cares for you and your family during this time of darkness...we love you and pray that you will feel the love of God as you have never felt it before...
God bless you and yours...
Ty🙏
May the Lord comfort and strengthen you and your family at this sad time. Losing loved ones is never easy.
Amen
Ty🙏

Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Please Lord, wrap Purkiss & his family in your loving arms and comfort them in their time of sorrow. May they find the peace, strength, and healing there that only your perfect love can provide, and ultimate joy knowing through your precious gift of salvation & grace, they all will be reunited again. Amen.
🙏
The Bible states, "some are taken out from the evil to come and no man layeth it to heart". God, for His own reasons, sometimes takes people before the evil hits, but we don't often understand this in our hearts. I hope I quoted that scripture correctly.....have forgotten the book, chapter and verse. May God comfort your heart. You are loved.
Thank you...🙏🏻
My deepest condolences 🙏 💔
