SubomiOluwa:
Hello Folks,

They say the heart beats over 3 billion times in a lifetime. However, August 22nd last year in a heartbeat mine got beat out.

My world collapse, the clock stopped ticking and everything stopped moving. In a beat my entire life was lost in the abyss of despair.

How will I ever continue to live, how will I face the kids, what will I tell them when they ask of mummy, what will this say of my faith and of my God?!!!

At some point I needed to let it out so I poured out my heart on this forum and you folks shared of my grief.

Today, I can sing of God's faithfulness, of how He wrapped His arms around me and gave me peace beyond imagination. He sent people my way who touched me in special ways.

Thank you everyone for being so special, for all your kind words and gesture. Truly someday when I walk through that Golden Gate, I shall find my "Angel" who touched me in an ever special way.

Sleep on my love.
I celebrate the life you lived.
And the love we share.

......When death has come and taken our loved ones....leaving our home so lonely and drear.....then we wonder......Cheer up my Brother.....We'll understand it Oh by and by.take heart bro.God will comfort you.

bellong:


May you always find help in the time of need. It is well with you.

Thanks so much and God bless you. I've been helped with the kind words and diverse experiences on this thread.

Swissheart:
....pls take heart.God knows why things happen and at the time it happens.Losing the most important person in one's life is what I personally can't describe but then the grace is always sufficient for us all.I have lived to see the only person I grew up to be comfortable with die....but then again I say...God's grace is sufficient for us.Sleep on T.Y

Its not easy to lose someone very dear to you, she means the world to me... Ive been so shattered and devastated by her demise... Just relying on the grace of God to be able to survive this travail...

yes...God is all you need.

@ayoolagoke & subomioluwa.

How are you guys doing? I know you're struggling with a lot of emotions that can be overpowering and overwhelming. It's like that. I wish I could tell you that there is a quick fix or remedy that makes the pain go away. However, there isn't. But it does get easier. Trust me, it does.....with time. And it all depends on you! Only you determine when you continue with life and embark on your journey of healing. For some, it's a very long journey. For some, it's short. Too many factors determine that. The most important thing is what happens next. It took me 11 years to finally be on the path to begin a new journey with someone new. Sometimes, you feel like you're betraying your true love by even thinking of another person. Don't feel that way. That chapter of your lives is officially closed now. It's painful to accept, but that's the hard truth. There is someone out there that God has ordained to wipe the tears from your eyes and make you feel alive again. How soon it happens is up to you. Take your time and be prayerful. This terrible time in your lives shall pass. For me, it's Olori. Yours shall come. Grieve and move on.

If you need to contact me, write me @ tropicalincognito@yahoo.com. A lot of people have tried to get in touch with me.....you can contact me on that email also. Remain blessed.

Bro Serubawon Wow what an age
So glad to hear that you are doing Okay
Eku itoju Olori
How are you all?

@ayoolagoke it is well
I cant imagine the pain you are going through, but I pray that it eases and you will smile again.
So sorry for your loss.

@tearoses

I dey Kampe. Thanks for the thoughts for your brother, I pray all is well with you and yours.

@Mr Seru...he does factor me in, he listens to my advice and yes, I believe in him.
I believe this is the reason for courtship, so we can make each other better, I'm still watching for improvements tho he's trying...

That's the reason for being together. As long as both of you believe in each other, your relationship can only grow stronger. Nobody said relationships/marriage is easy. It's garbage in, garbage out. The harder you work and sacrifice for it, the more you get out of it (with the right person of course). The Lord will grant you wisdom and His favor. Best of luck.

Thanks so much... It's so difficult to move on but with time, things can only get better. Our marriage was barely 11 months old.

Nobody is talking on the thread again.

Sorry all for the silence. A lot was going on. However, I'm pleased to inform everyone that Olori and I got married today August 11 2016. It's been a very long journey for both of us and also since this thread began. Just like all good stories, they finally come to an end and this is the end of one story and the beginning of another.

Heartfelt appreciation to those that made this thread so wonderful. It was a special project that still endures. From Olori and I.............. God bless you all!!!!!!

Congratulations Serubawon,
May the good Lord give you unlimited joy, and make this the beginning of more great stories in your life..

Wow! Congratulations Sir!!! May God in his infinite mercies grant you a blissful marriage, I'm so happy for you sir.

I know what it takes to finally get married after 12 years of ur previous loss. My mom has also been a widow for over 25 years now and she hasn't remarried and sometimes, I look at her and I feel the pains in her and the loneliness, it's not easy holding up at all but, I thank God that she was able to take good care of us when we were much younger and even now.

Regards to olori and the children.

Wow Oga serubawon congratulations sir. Wishing you and your beloved the very best.

Congrats Sir; Happy married life

Awwwwn. Congrats. This brought tears to my eyes

Do enjoy your new beginning

Wow.... This is beautiful. So happy for you Sir serubawon. Btw Olori is pretty. Cheers.

You do need to seriously consider writing that book to encourage somebody

Wow! Congratulations sir and to God be all the glory.

I have been following this thread for years now (can't remember how many years now). The thread has stirred different kinds of emotion within me all along and i have also learnt a lot, but i never commented. I guess this good news of your marriage is the climax of it (for now.....lol) for me and so i had to break forth into joyous mood for you guys.

God bless you sir...........oh, He already blessed you nah . I'm so overjoyed here. E be like say i happy pass you sef........

Congratulations again and again and again.

Thanks everyone. I'm honored and deeply touched by all the encouragement and prayers.

I'm considering it. The pressure has been building from people interested in publishing it. We'll see if that is in my future. Have way too much on my plate right now, so that might have to wait for now. Getting used to being ordered around again.

This just gave me goose bumps. Congratulations sir, may the future bring more joy than you can imagine for you and your queen.

Bless you.
