Condolence: So very sorry to read of the tragic loss of your Djanee
The pain of losing a loved one can be so overwhelmingly sad.
Our heavenly Father promises us that very soon he will 'swallow up death forever, and wipe the tears from all faces' Isaiah 25:8.
What a wonderful future hope that is.

Condolence: My dearest Danny,

How long have we known each other - quite a long time. I've been there to see you through difficult times and then you found such bliss with this beautiful lady. I no longer worried about you; I knew you were in good hands and God's hands.

You both shared a beautiful life, a beautiful daughter and the joy of riding.

We may never know the why, but we will always know there is a time and a place for all things, no matter how sorrowful.

I have no idea how you will manage, but I'm still a friend. I have lost my husband and I do know the pain of loss. However, your loss is nothing like mine. There will be so many emotions you will wander through and there will be times when you don't think you can stand it any longer - then look at the beautiful child.

Back at Myspace, many were asking how I was coping with my loss. To sum it up - I felt like I had fallen into a deep abyss filled with water - nothing could be seen in any direction and I had lost my bearings - which way was up?

I was holding my breath and struggling to find the surface when a voice said to me, "You must inhale at some point, you cannot hold your breath forever. The choice is yours, you will either inhale and drown or you will learn to breathe underwater."

I made my choice. I learned to breathe under water. And with that, my body slowly rose to the surface and I broke free.

Looking back, I know the abyss was my grief, the water was the tears I cried, I was choking, I was sobbing, I was spiraling, and I was frozen in fear. What would I do? Who would I become? How will I live without him?

That voice was his. I could not drown, he would not have allowed it, but it had to be a choice I made, not his.

I remember stopping for a moment and taking a deep breath and nearly choked on it. Then another, and another... until I was finally breathing without the uncontrollable sobs. I had learned how to breath under water. I had learned to breath under heartbreaking stress. I had learned to let go and believe in something greater than my personal grief. I let go and heard his voice and I still hear him from time to time.

You must take this story and make it your own, according to your own personal beliefs - but I hope it gives you something to think about.

Though I never had the chance to meet your beautiful bride - I feel so thankful for her, she saved you from so many things. She was your grace.

I will pray for all, including her family and all of your friends. Mostly, I will pray for you and the baby. She is your grace now. Embrace it.

Much love and blessings,

Teresa

Condolence: I did not know Dejanee, nor do I know her husband Danny personally. I'm a cousin (in-law) to Danny's sister Karen. However, I can only imagine the pain everybody must be suffering through her loss and wanted to offer my deepest condolences to Danny and Dejanee's family.
