Hi guys.

If you could all pray for me, I'd really appreaciate it. I'm very close to my grandparents. This will be the first true, close family death I have ever experience. I'm loosing it right now just thinking about it. To an extent, I'm relieved to be crying. I've always had a hard time mourning. I try to hold back emotion. But I'm crying right now.

Please, just pray for everything.

I'll pray for you. Hang in there. Is your grandpa saved?

Oh, Osaka. *hugs* I'll be praying for you and your family.

will pray

We'll all pray, sweetheart. Hang in there. *hugs*

I'll pray for you and your family, Osaka. *hug*

I will continue to pray for you, your grandfather and your family. Also, there is no need to be afraid or ashamed to show tears. It's a natural way to release the pain we feel. Remain strong Osaka.

I will be praying for you and your family.

He died just half an hour after we arrived. I'm glad to have been there.

It was really odd. I cried for about twenty minutes after he died, and then I just. . . stopped. It was really strange. I was sorry to loose him, but I wasn't sad at his death. He was in heaven, I knew it, and I felt a peace about the whole thing. I can't really describe what happened, but it was comforting.

Please, pray for our family as we prepare for the funeral. There are some rather sorted feelings about the even (my grandfather chose to be creamated and several of family members are very upset about the choice.) Thanks for everyone who prayed.

im still praying for you and your family. please stay strong and have faith in the Lord.everything is in Gods plan. never stop trusting that God will be your Rock, He will be your source of comfort. turn to Him to heal any pain. God loves ou so much! its okay to cry. sometimes crying can can be the only thing you can do other than prayer to heal. much love and prayers for you, your family. im glad to hear you have peace.

You know that I of course am very familiar with the pain you are going through, and I know that it isn't easy. I'm keeping you in my prayers, Osaka.

Osaka, I'm glad that God has released Him from his illness. I hope that you will see him again, and I'll pray for your family.

*hugs for Osaka* gonna keep praying for you. <3

I'll pray for you.

im praying for ya too, my grandma died last year, she was the best christian i ever knew, and it was the hardest thing i think ive been through

My condolences, Osaka, to you and your family. May you be at peace.

I'm sorry for your loss, and I'm glad to hear that he was a believer. As a Christian, I know that knowledge gives you a deep peace at the core, even though your heart is hurting. How are you and your family holding up?

Osaka, I just saw this and... well there are no words. *HUG*

I'm always praying for you anyway, and know the Lord is always with you and comforting your heart through this. Feel His comfort.

*huggle* I'll pray for you, Mangafanatic.

I will pray for you and you family.

Thank you everyone for your prayers. I really appreciate it.

The family is holding up-- hmm, as well as can be expected. We're rushing around arranging for the funeral right now.

I think one of the biggest problems at the moment is the varying means of mourning in the family. I, for one, just plan to cry my eyes out at the funeral. I've really been trying to save myself for the ordeal. I try not to really arouse my emotions the rest of the time. Really, the only way I can manage that well is by not talking about it. If I talk about it, I know I'm going to cry.

Unfortuneately, my dad is entirely different. He copes by talking about it, and he talks to us. After the funeral (which is gonna be a really emotionally draining ordeal to begin with) at the luncheon the church is having for us, my dad wants to have a story time. Atleast half of the family is really against the idea, simply because they don't think they could swallow something like that right now. I know I couldn't, but, unfortuneately, that's how he handles grief and I don't think anythings going to stop him.

Please pray for strength to handle whatever the funeral brings. As I said before, this is the first real family funeral I've had to endure. Thanks again everyone. I really appreciate all your thoughts and prayers!

I am praying for you Osaka. I knew that feeling when I lost my grandmother a long time ago. It is the circle of life, my friend and it's great that that your grandfather is in heaven, away from illness, away from all things evil, but still close to your heart.

May your strength come back to you, Osaka and your family.

Do not worry about crying, for not all tears are evil. Let it out.

Love you and God bless
