Dear AJ, thank you so much for reading my post Does Time heal? And for restacking it. I also grieve with you for your losses. I’m so thankful that we have hope in Jesus. Yes I have the book Imagine Heaven. I also like the book by Randy Alcorn titled Heaven. His book 50 days of Heaven devotional was given to me when our son passed away. It was a great blessing to me.God bless you in your ministry of writing.

I am acquainted with loss—my mom, dad, sister, brother, and several others gone—so your words meet me in a deep place. Grief is grief. My heart weeps with your loss of your son.

This post is beautiful. I really appreciated how you teased out the idea of time. I agree: time doesn’t heal. But God does hold time in His hands.

Have you ever read Imagine Heaven? That book gave me a vivid sense of time and eternity—and made the distance between here and there feel thinner, almost breathable.

Oh Debbie. My heart breaks and tears are in my eyes as I read this. Time - that expanse between saying good bye and seeing them again. And our time is in God's hands. Thanksfully we have a hope that we will see Johann again - and all are loved ones that are dancing with Jesus and having such an incredible time. I too sometimes think, Jesus, why don't you just take me so I can join you? But like you said, it's not my time and all my days are in HIS hands. Love you Debbie.
