The day to day stuff is so hard to slog through in the depths of grief. I'm struggling with Bradley's death and we weren't extremely close. He helped me and I never forgot it. I never forgot the light he shone on that dark day...or actually several different days. I can't wrap my brain around it at all so I can't even fathom losing what you've lost. And to not have the people in Denmark even acknowledge or "see" your pain is pissing me off for you. Have your anger, Joseph. Your heart is secure in Jesus Christ. Having the anger is moving forward though it may not feel like it. It would be weird if you didn't have it. Maybe up the Jujitsu classes? I'm sure some angry music writing may be ....hate to say it...fun. In the last 2.5 years, I've lost my dad, my uncle (we were close),my cousin (again we were close and he was 47) my marriage, my best friend (not due to death), and moved 4 times. All with three kids whose little hearts I was trying so desperately to shield and a major disease going on. I've had some pissed off moments but I am amazed at some of the changes in me. You are a good man with a hot righteous babe by your side! You won't lose your heart. God has plans to prosper you!!! I have no idea how your life is going to look without Bradley in it. But two years ago I had no idea my life would look like this either. I only know that you are loved here in the States and I imagine you are loved in Denmark...at least by Lindsay. It is so simple it's stupid. Love is everything. Your love for Bradley. Bradley's love for you. Jesus' love for you. Lindsay's love for you. All you need is there. Thanks for sharing. Don't stop. It's brave, healthy and edifying for anyone who reads it. Love, love love to all! Clawing the Logistical Monkeys…..very descriptive.

Forgive me for not reaching out sooner. You know this already but I will remind you: The God of the universe loves you in a way that transcends our understanding. It's always been that way. He hurts when you and your family hurt and cry. I've hurt for you and your family too, my friend. May you feel the love of Christ Jesus through this trial. I love you.

Its the only way to honor Bradley's memory. I guess its just slow going at the moment. And I want to do some grappling with you next time I am in town btw! I will move forward some how.

Thanks for your words and prayers. Pat, its somehow comforting to hear the perspective of someone who has seen both losses so to speak. Thanks for your words and prayers.

It was tough then and it's tough now. I love your openness and ability to look inside yourself and pull it out to share. As long as you keep writting I will keep reading and praying for you too. If I know one thing it is this we fear the loss of what we love the most. Your fear of lossing your heart is a great sign that you have your priorities in order. It doesn't mean you will not have to fight for it. When you do not fear it's loss is when you have to worry. Joseph, I remember your sister and when your family lost her.

Its like after the funeral I felt like i was doing alright but for about 2 weeks I didn't even notice i had neglected a lot of my school work subconsciously i guess, until someone kinda called me out on it. Obviously something like this is a situation one can just get up and move on from, but I know U'll get through this rut your in. If not imma have to come lay the smack down on ya : ) I hear what your saying buddy.
