Thank you for this support. My husband and I are raising our son’s (deceased 2016) THREE young children. They are 9, 7 and 5. We’ve had them for 4-1/2 years now and are adopting in 2023. Mother is totally out of the picture.
I struggle with anger at the overall depth of pain and grief that we still experience and how our lives completely turned upside down. The verses you left were immensely helpful and I will dwell upon them daily from now on. I am in contact with lay people at church and one of them sent me this link. I look forward to your next post.

I have been raising my grandson for 7 years now and I have been trying to really take care of myself also, because I’ve found without selfcare and praying friends our lives get considerably harder. Energy to keep up with a child is not as abundant as it was when I was younger, but I firmly believe that “I can do all things thru Christ who gives me strength”!

I will be caring for a challenging 12.5 year old grandson for 3.5 months, until his mother and 2 siblings come to live here. They have all been living in Japan in the past 6 years, but he requested to come here sooner.
I am active in Child Evangelism Fellowship, but I see myself reducing volunteer hours during these 3.5 months!
