May you be feeling the even greater depths of comfort that the Lord has promised for He WILL comfort those who are mourning and He can make something beautiful come from your tradgedy, as only He can do. Amy I am so very sorry for both you and your husband. I will pray for you often and for your son Adam, too. Though I do not know you my heart is breaking for you. Cling to the Lord and your husband. Amy,

The first time I heard it was at the passion conference at Gerorge Mason University last year. Reading the first half of your blog helped me to exhale a little but this morning. My dad died from cancer back in Dec at Christmas time. I knew he was sick for six months but it turned out he was actually sick for ten years and I had no idea until the cancer started doing the damage. I had to start my first semester at a new college in Florida a couple weeks after he died. I have had problems with some people at my church and the issues seemed to have escalated since my dad died. I have many regrets and anger and I miss him a lot. But one of the hardest things to deal was, like you said, people being around for the first couple weeks then everyone goes back to their normal lives an leaves you out in the dark while you're still hurting deeply. My heart has been heavy for a while now and I can't remember the last time I went to bed having peace. My dad was well known musician in Europe (http://goldengospelsingers.com/) and even the group is so caught up in who is taking over that I haven't heard from anyone since Dec. It hurts a lot. I've had your dvd "Hope when life hurts most" I watched it the other day and it was encouraging for me even though I had seen a few times. I can feel God calling me back to Him but another part of me just wants to walk away from the church and a relationship with Him. Everything is just very confusing. I'm not sure who reads and keeps up with the comments but I want to Thank you Mr. Giglio for all you do, you have been an encouragement to me and many others.

All I know is I need help and Ashley's story came to me when I have had my world shaken to it's core. My husband and I lost our own Ashley 16 days ago in an auto accident. She was 16 yrs old and our princess. 9 days ago we lost our 21 yr old son, Andrew, also in an auto accident. Life as we have known it, which was truly wonderful, is over. This is all I can say for now. Please pray. Amy Ford This feels weird, I don’t have any idea who might read this.

The world may move on but as for those in our circle she is not forgotten. I will always miss her smile and laughter It has been so strange watching people all over the world fall in love with my best friend after she died.

I lost my main christian support on my brother's birthday this Friday, it was my grandma. I was heart broken and my brother told me you need to go watch Louie's talk Hope When Life Hurts Most. Instead I got on here and saw this blog. So thanks again. Take care, Ali I also want to thank the friends and family for letting Ashley’s story to be used.

I left there thinking "I want to be a Fruitcake!" I have shared that with so many people and just recently bought the DVD Fruitcake and Ice Cream. Just last night I gave it to someone to watch. She told me she didn't need to watch it since I had already told her the story. She doesn't think she is getting through to someone in a similar situation as Christa and Ashley. But I only told her half the story. She has to hear it for herself and see how it ends. I expect to hear from her real soon. It amazes me that Ashley's story has not ended; that she has been a witness for God long after her few short months as a Christian in this world. God is Awesome!
