I am feeling weird lately, emotionally. I really just need prayer. I know time makes things better, never easier, but the pain is less frequent. I MISS Damon, naturally. My life feels sort of empty? Is that okay? I want God to be my all in all, so am I failing? Or is the part He created when He said it wasn't good for Adam to dwell alone, is that the part that feels empty?? I don't understand my emotions. I miss Damon so much. Life is good, I have many blessings, family near, a new home, health, I am deeply blessed. God has saw fit to reveal so many things to me, and I am a child of the KING, PRAISE THE LORD. So is the emptiness normal? I don't want to be lacking Him or failing in anything. I miss life with Damon, everyday life, everything about him. I need prayer, understanding, and kind advice.

Casing ALL your care upon Him, for he careth for YOU!
hey, i know i have no clue What you're going through.. but i really dont believe that you are failing in that. Because you cant help you miss your husband. And God created these emotions, and knew before Damon was gone that you would feel like this. Just seek God first. In Sunday school one time whoever was teaching the class (i think mrs tammy maybe..)gave us a little reminder thing.

Kasey, you are a Very Godly women in my eyes, you let the Lord shine through you and work in other people's lives. You've encouraged me so much in the past, and in the present, and still in the future im sure you will.
I love you and miss you alot.
Praying for you.
I can't even imagine being in your shoes, but it certainly sounds like all of your emotions are perfectly normal--and nothing ungodly. Even in those desperately lonely and empty times, you are always so focused on the Lord and all of your blessings. If you didn't struggle emotionally sometimes, THAT would be evidence of a problem. Since you do, I think it's evidence that you have a heart--one that God gave you. Hang in there! I'll pray for you tonight. God understands your feelings as no one else can and He's the only One who has the answers. And best of all, HE LOVES YOU. :-)
Kasey no one can tell you how to feel, what to do, and how long these feelings will part of your life now without Damon...This one thing I know for sure, Jesus knows, he understand the pain, the emotion, the loneliness...He is the God of all comfort...Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, thou art with me!!!! There are experiences in life that we just do the best we can to live through...You will never not miss Damon and allow your heart to feel what it needs to feel to heal...Tears are a language God understands...Being 6 years on the other side of abandonment, I do understand the frustration with the emotions...Don't be so hard on yourself and appreciate the moments of life when it's not overwhelming your thoughts...As time goes on, it will be easier to face this part of your life...Take care and look to Jesus, he will take care of it all...
I can't imagine how you'd be failing the Lord with a heart like yours. You said you don't want to be lacking Him or failing in anything. And I know those desires are genuine. The glory of the Lord shines through your life ... that is evident--in your singing, your smile, your writing. There's no doubt that you love the Lord and are trusting Him for all things. Like Becki said, those feelings you're having have to be completely normal and in no way ungodly.
I'll be praying for you today, Kasey. *big hug* We love you bunches, and God loves you so much more.
"And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your heart and mind through Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:7
Kasey, I don't know what to say that could help in any way. I do know though that you are a strong and beautiful person and God wants you to be happy. Unfortunately things happen in our lives that don't always make it easy to be happy. I truly believe that we are individually given challenges for a purpose and that we are meant to grow from them. I know God will be with you through your sadness and emptiness. I know He loves you and wants to see you be happy, and that in time, you will be again.
Girl, I was just thinking about you yesterday. How, I don't really know you, but I feel like my spirit does. If that makes any sence....
I don't know what it feels like to lose a husband ( I can't imagine!), but I do know what it feels like to lose someone one you love. The emptiness and the feeling of being incomplete that follows.
I know you miss Damon hun, I don't think having these emotions are failing God. I think it pleases Him greatly when we bring all of these emotions to Him. FULLY, trusting Him to comfort us and give us peace. It's not a one time offer....He'll do it again and agian and agian....when ever we need Him.
I know Kasey, all that you want, is to be pleasing to God. He knows you heart.I pray that He gives you the emotional strengh you need, and just pours His love and peace down upon you.
Heb. 4:16
