Confessions of a Grieving Christian
Jan 24–25, 2008 - comments: 3
Dealing with the death of a loved one is a slow process filled with grief and pain, but it’s during these times that we can count on the love of God to sustain us.
Today on For Faith & Family our special guest is Zig Ziglar. He’s a well-known author and motivational speaker, yet his true test came when tragedy struck. He was led down a path of grief and sorrow as he mourned the death of his oldest daughter Suzan. And today he’s here to share with us how we can better approach grief, and help other who are grieving as well.

I just wanted to tell you that Mr. Ziglar was a very big comfort to me today. Tommorow will mark the 2nd anniversary of the death of my husband. He was 48. We are firm believers in Christ and the truth of the gospel. I sometimes wonder if we did enough for Tim but it was so comforting to be reminded that God chooses the day of our passing and yes we did do all we could and God did the rest. Thank you for airing this program.

I lost my husband Larry on May 24, 2006. It has been a long road since that day with many ups and downs and I am so thankful that both Larry and I have had Jesus in our lives and I know we will be together again some day. I have struggled with the fact that he was taken after our 22 years together, his being 59 years old, but Zig, whom I have admired for years, in a way God has blessed him with, was able to ease some of my stresses and help me understand some of what I have been going through… the guilt and worry will prayerfully ease and I will further understand this life called grief. Thank you so much for having him as a guest and your program!

I have been searching for a website that might help me. My husband of almost 40 years died February 16, 2008, of Acute Luekemia. He had not been feeling well for two weeks, but we did not know he was so sick. He walked into the emergency room on Friday, the 15th and died the afternoon of the 16th. Talk about being blindsided.
I have read Zig Ziglar’s book several times since 2005 when we lost our 35 year old daughter to a stroke. I found his book comforting. I’ll have to look my copy up now and reread it again.
I feel like my whole world has been turned upside down again. We had only begun to get back to “normal” and now this. Please keep me and my daughter, Teri, in your prayers. She told me earlier that she was not having a good day today and just wanted to be by herself.
