Hi, im Morgan. I'm 19 and just finished the shack. Almost 3 weeks ago, my 5 week old son was murdered. It was almost perfect timing for me to read it and this book has really given me a new outlook and has put me more at peace with what happened. I would love to share similar experiences. I haven't really talked much about the situation besides to my family, close friends and detectives. I feel that if i have someone I can relate to, it help me better understand and cope with things

diegito:
Goodness, Morgan, how my heart goes out to you! I can imagine the tears that went with writing those few sober lines... Welcome to the forum - if you need a place to talk (about ANYthing), this is it! I have been in this forum for about eight months now and it is a special place indeed - the people I have met here are amazingly loving and supportive. We have all been through Great Sadnesses of our own, all sorts of different kinds. I am so glad Papa sent you The Shack at just this time in your life, and I look forward to getting to know you!  (The reason I'm awake and posting now is that I live in Germany. I'm 47, female, and have four children aged 17 to 6. There are people from all over the world here.)

Praying for you, Morgan!!! :Hug: :Hug: :Hug:

Thank you very much (: I'm glad He sent me the book too. Even though it stirred up already recent memories, and already a lot of what Mack learned ive already been trying to keep in mind, it cleared up a lot for me. These deep wounds are so fresh that mote often than not, I feel guilt and anger and hate. The nightmare continuously plays, but i always try to go straight to God as soon as I get these feelings
It was nice meeting you diegito!

diegito:
Your feelings are completely natural, Morgan, and it wouldn't be good to suppress them entirely - you have to have them to work through them and then leave them behind, so to speak. And that usually takes a long time (and is allowed to take as long as it takes!!) But it makes all the difference to have Papa to turn to when it all gets too much. My grandmother, who lost her husband and home and all her worldly possessions in World War II, always told me the only thing you can never lose is your education. But that's not really true. The only thing you can never lose is God's love. And the most important thing to have in your life is faith in His love. I am so glad you have this faith, Morgan!!! Hang on to it!

I'm logging off now - lots of chores to do.  :Hug: :Hug: :Hug: to you - you'll get to meet plenty of other shacksters when they get up.

Morgan I am so so sorry about your son.  I can't imagine how awful such a loss would be...I am so very happy that Papa guided you to The Shack book, and then to this forum.  I have met the most loving and supportive people here, more than I've met anywhere in the non-computer world.  I agree with Diegito that all feelings that you are experiencing are completely natural - and this happened so recently, you will have feelings well up at unexpected times and places - and that's ok. 

((((((((((((((((Morgan)))))))))))))))) I will keep you in my prayers.j
