Informing the family and friends

[posted by Eileen]

Shocking. Unbelievable. In denial.
We are still in a state of shock to recover from the devastating news we heard today
Why me? Why us? We wonder. We felt so sad and helpless.

Telling our family was the hardest thing to do. My mother-in-law felt weak and my mum's legs went wobbly when they heard the news. My sister wrote a beautiful text message to me to show her support and care, "You have my support....both of you have been faithful and trusting servants, God's hands are upon you and his angels are with you, I know you will walk through this difficult journey with unwavering faith and whatever the outcome, it will lead you both to be even strong witnesses of God! My tears are with you. It is a trying time for us as a family, but we will trust."  

Yes, my sister is right. It will be a trying time for us as a family, and also for our close friends who are supporting us and praying for us right now. We may not understand why this happen to us, but we know everything happens for a reason and it is part of God's plan for us.
