When there is no faith where do you turn too? Is it fair to reach out for something that you've forced yourself to believe is not there?
When my Grandmother was dying, taking her last breathes...I prayed. I told my Mom that I prayed for her since she was unable to speak, but I think I was praying for myself too. |

If you forced yourself to believe it's not there, then down deep inside you still believe it really is there. I'd urge you to reach out.

Sometimes it's in our most desparate times that we find the strength to reach out.

You can always reach out. I hope that you were answered. Faith can often start with just a tiny seed. In fact, that's usually how it works.

((((((((youOme))))))))) I agree with what SeptemberMorn said above. There is something still within you that believes. There is nothing wrong with reaching out, sending up a prayer.
I would also like to say I am sorry for your loss. It is painful to lose the ones we love. May you find comfort and healing. recluse1 |
