“How do you heal from a broken heart. I’m literally crying as I write this to you guys but I pray this will help me to get it out. I have been completely distraught & broken these past few weeks. My beautiful mom left this earth on October 9, 2018. She was diagnosed with early signs of Parkinson’s in 2014. By 2016 my mom was drastically losing weight and could hardly do regular things on her own. My dad is the epitome of true love and humbleness. He took such great care of her in sickness and in health. My dad was married to my mom for 40yrs. I’m so grateful she made it to her 74th birthday On August 23, as we celebrated her and surrounded her with love and care. My father misses his wife dearly & I truly miss my mom. I know she is in a better place, with her Lord & Savior and no more suffering. But I do not know what to do without her. ???????? Please pray for me and my family. Lord help us through.”
