mourn with those who mourn

I (Ma) just talked to Remi's Mom, Huguette. She is in the depths of grief. She says some days are better than others, but she is doing a lot of crying. She said its so hard to be reminded daily that he is gone and so quickly gone. She saw his toothbrush the other day and thought oh he forgot his toothbrush. Then she laughed and said," he did pull some strings for me up there." A few days before Remi died Huguette started seeing double and results of tests showed she had had a mini stroke. She was so worried about the funeral because of that because she knew she would have to be seeing so many people and she was afraid it would make her sick to her stomach. Then at the funeral right after communion there was a slide show of Remi's life and she realized as she watched it that her vision was back to normal. God had healed her. She kept the Doctors appointment she had just to tell him but he would not believe her and insisted on examining her. She said he just kept shaking his head and saying this does not happen. I am so glad she was blessed this way.
She says she knows that people grieve in different ways and for some it is longer than for others. She says for me I think it will be a long, long time. She is grateful for prayers.

He will comfort all who mourn,
and provide for those who grieve in Zion-
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.

let it be.
