Thanksgiving for Help in Grief

[beatitude]

Just over a week ago, one of my closest friends died after coping for five years with brittle asthma. She used to post on Phatmass as faithcecelia.  Please give thanks for her life and all the love she poured out to those around her. Continue to pray for her family and friends, especially her brother who is really struggling. Their mum died earlier this year so it's extra hard for him.

Please give thanks for the help and comfort I've received from other friends at this time, and pray that I might be strengthened and able to face the new year bravely. I feel as if I'm missing an arm or possibly a kidney, and while everyone is being lovely, I don't know how it may affect me in the months to come. I have a lot of responsibility at work just now.
