My husband of 26 years passed away last year and I'm just now starting to adjust to this new life without him. The grief and tears are always just below the surface. I thought I was doing better with the sadness and then...my cat disappeared Sunday night. I know that sounds trivial and probably is compared to others' problems, but it's a big thing to me. It has ripped open the wound of grief and I'm not handling it well. Another loss. I'm so, so sad again and I can't find any enjoyment in life. I miss that sweet little cat. I'm wondering where God is in all this.

Dear heart, when my husband passed away after 20 years together, the Lord had me pray a prayer which has helped others as well. In your own words pray something like this. Heavenly Father I come to you now, acknowledging that I bacame "one flesh" with this man (name him). I know Jesus said that in heaven we will not be married, so our relationship which was until death do us part, is now changed. I thank you that friends in Jesus Christ are friends forever, so that part of our relationship will go on into eternity. Right now however, I take back that part of me that I gave to my husband, and release the part of him he gave to me. I give both these parts to You Father and ask You to make me whole as a single person. I give You my grief acknowledging that I will forever miss this man and look forward to our reunion as friends in Your presence. I ask you to break all other soul ties now and set me free from the oneness that now belongs to You and I in Christ Jesus. Thank you Father and I seal our relationship in wholeness by the blood of the lamb. I also declare as Your word says that I will only remarry if it is your will, in your timing and for your purposes. Thankyou Holy Spirit.
Regarding your little pet. My cat went missing and showed up 8 months later. You will know in your heart if your beloved pet is still alive, so pray for Father to send the angels to bring home your pet if it is still alive. Love Lee
