Story #29
-
I knew that my brother had an addiction to pain killers. He would clean up, but always find a way back to this, satan made sure of it.
My brother lost his battle with that addiction on Mother’s day of 09 at the age of only 29 years old. Then, satan started in on me. For nine months, I questioned myself, “why, why, why?” He said it was my fault, I could have done more, I could have been a better sister, I mean, I was his only sibling. I believed satan over the word of God. I let him turn my life upside down. I am a Christian, I am saved, but I let satan take control, until I finally had enough and started grief recovery through COTM. I learned, hey, GOD has been there the whole time. He never left me, why would I leave him? I have learned so much through COTM, I have been able to work things out through God. I am learning to live with my grief, instead of letting my grief live through me. I praise Jesus everyday for my blessings, and I am so thankful for COTM’s help!
