Patsy, welcome to the forum. I am fairly new here myself, but I think I can safely assure you of something on behalf of all the members.
Jesus Loves you.
I pray that you will find love and solace here in your time of need. Jesus said, "I will be with you always, until the end of the time". He is right there now and so very willing to be your best friend. If you cannot depend on anyone near you or if you have too much time alone, He is right there with you. Just turn to Him. Read your Bible, especially Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and the Psalms. Lean on Him, Lean on the Word of God in your time of need. Pray to the Saviour and ask Him for strength. Bless you. You are doing the right thing asking for help. He will help you, and many here will do the best they can. But when it comes to the quiet times in the night, you will need the strength that only comes from the Lord. Bless you in the Name of Jesus. May you find peace, comfort and all of the promises of our Lord and Saviour. Amen

Patsy,
I am so blessed to read the following on your profile: He is my salvation, with out him i'm nothing, i'm lost.
Amen my sister. Where would we be without His Amazing Love and Grace.
To everyone who's lost someone they love
Long before it was their time
You feel like the days you had were not enough
when you said goodbye
And to all of the people with burdens and pains
Keeping you back from your life
You believe that there's nothing and there is no one
Who can make it right
Chorus
There is hope for the helpless
Rest for the weary
Love for the broken heart
There is grace and forgiveness
Mercy and healing
He'll meet you wherever you are
Cry out to Jesus, Cry out to Jesus
For the marriage that's struggling just to hang on
They lost all of their faith and love
They've done all they can to make it right again
Still it's not enough
For the ones who can't break the addictions and chains
You try to give up but you come back again
Just remember that you're not alone in your shame
And your suffering
Chorus
When your lonely (when you're lonely)
And it feels like the whole world is falling on you
You just reach out, you just cry out to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
To the widow who suffers from being alone
Wiping the tears from her eyes
For the children around the world without a home
Say a prayer tonight
Chorus
Blessings beloved. Smile for your Lord. Shine for Him.

Job 1
20 At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship 21 and said:
"Naked I came from my mother's womb,
and naked I will depart. [c]
The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away;
may the name of the LORD be praised."
Praise You in This Storm
words by Mark Hall/music by Mark Hall and Bernie Herms
I was sure by now,God, that You would have reached down
and wiped our tears away,
stepped in and saved the day.
But once again, I say amen
and it's still raining
as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain,
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away.
Chorus:
And I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for You are who You are
no matter where I am
and every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
I remember when I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to You
and raised me up again
my strength is almost gone how can I carry on
if I can't find You
and as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away
Chorus
I lift my eyes onto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth
I lift my eyes onto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth
Chorus
Praise Him Patsy.

Dear Patsy,
I am so sorry for your loss. The Lord loves you.. He Loves you..He Loves you.
Patsy, rest in Him, call on Him. Jesus is the only One who can truly comfort you.
The Lord abides forever, He has established His throne for judgement. And He will judge the world in righteousness; He will execute judgement for the peoples with equity. The LORD also will be a stronghold for the oppressed, A stronghold in times of trouble; and those who know Your name will put their trust in You, For You O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You. psalm 9:7-10
Patsy, You are in a good place here... I pray God will use this place for you to be strengthened. I also pray that God will raise people up who are in your community where you live to support you through this difficult time.
Love in Christ, Carla

my dear,killing yourself to be with her cannot solve the problem.who knows whether what your daughter needed from you now is to forgive her killer so she can make heaven.please try to forgive the person so you can have solace in God.take care.i know what you are passing through but do not kill yourself.

i would never kill myself then i wont go uo to heaven when god takes me home. sometimes i miss her sooo much that i want to hold her and touch her and tell her everything is going to be allright. but i can't cause she is gone. i have her memories i know, but that isn't the same. i hope you understand my feelings. patsy

Dear Uzoekwe,
You made the comment below and i would like to comment on it. I pray you are not offended.
>>who knows whether what your daughter needed from you now is to forgive her killer so she can make heaven
I was going to skip over your comment, because I do not want to make this discussion something else than what Pasty intended it to be. However from your comment it appears that you believe that maybe there is an existence of an intermediate state. The bible states that it is ...destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, Hebrews 9:27.
My question to you dear friend is the following:
Do you believe in purgatory or something like that? There is nothing any human can do to help anyone get to heaven and there is no such thing as roaming spirits.
Blessings friend.

Dear sis Patsy,
I will highlight some of your comments and respond to them immediately after.
>>I just need someone who will help me to cope.
We are here for you sis. God has brought you to a healthy community. But I hope you understand that . . . there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. Proverbs 18:24 As humans we can only do so much, so I pray you run to the one that will comfort you in ways no human can, so in turn you can comfort others. You may not be even able to conceive comforting any one at this time, but sis God can use you to bless others as you run to Him and find your joy and peace in the one that knows you better than you know yourself.
>>my daughter was murdered last january
Nothing that has happened without God being fully aware of it. You are His child and everything that affects you He is fully aware of. This has not happened to kill you or hurt you. If your daughter was a born again child of God, she is with Him. In a much better place. If we were able to ask her if she would want to come back to earth, I can guarantee you she would give you a loud- NOPE! This life is but a vapor. She is much better were she is at. She will have her marriage and her kids if she did not have that here in the new heaven and the new Earth. She is eternal as you are too. Your daughter's time on earth was not in the hands of a wicket person, but in the hands of the one that gave her life. He is in control not us.
>>I find myself soooo angry at times because the person responsible hasn't been caught yet.
God has been so good to us, He has saved us from His coming wrath against the wicket, but we must ask God for compassion for the lost. The person that murdered your daughter will one day stand before his creator. Let us hope that He repents and comes to the knowledge of God. Ask God to help you forgive Him. It does not really matter if he is caught or not. He already is caught by the best judge in the Universe. A righteous and Holy God. It is a fearful thing to fall under His wrath.
>>sometimes I want to die to be with her
If you fall into the Why, Why, Why this or that (which is perfectly natural when we face this types of lost) you will not find peace. You must stop yourself from doing that and rather change the question to What Lord, What am I to learn from this, what is it that you want me to do with this tragedy. He wants you to allow Him to change this situation for His glory. To seek Him as you have never sought Him before. To build the relationship with Him that you are lacking, so you can truly understand and believe that your daughter is better off where she is and that this life is not all there is. The next one is. Run to Him and do not fall into a victim’s mentality. Your Lord's hands were not tied when this injustice happened. He was very aware and He allowed it. We live in a fallen world. But He has the last word in our affairs. He loves you even thought it may not seem like He does through these ordeals. He is trying to teach you a lot through this. Ask Him what that is.
>>don't have insurance to beable to see a shrink
Do you fellowship in a local church? You can ask your pastor for counseling sis. You don't need a shrink sis. I have nothing against Christian psychologists, nothing at all, but it is God that you need. He is the perfect friend, father, counselor and healer. We can help, but Christ can heal you.
Your healing can take 10 years or a few months. It depends completely in what you choose to do, with the truth given to you. Run to God. Surround yourself with worship music and live a life of worship. Pray without ceasing and above all else eat the bread of life by abiding in God's word. Built the relationship God has always wanted to have with you and find your purpose in Him.
I am praying for you sis. My Lord richly bless you.
