Yesterday my mother’s health deteriorated greatly and my sister Shannon said that she needed to be brought to Vilnius. Well, I thought that God was sending my sister as help and that she would give me some advice, I would tell her, it would make things easier, she would sympathize with me….. And I would hear my sister’s terrible life story, dozens of times more terrible than mine. She barely survived, she was beaten, oppressed, exploited, SHE DOESN’T REMEMBER 10 YEARS OF HER LIFE, because of her husband’s constant drinking. She told me how her eldest son saved her from death several times, how her son threatened her father with “renunciation” if she did not stop drinking, how her husband sewed up an ampoule several times and how he kept “falling back”, she told me how our parents drove from Panevėžys to save her from her own husband. She told me how her family had been on the list of “problematic” families for 10 years, how the police visited them every day for 10 years, how her neighbors saved her, how everyone around her knew about their problem. And here I am with my “everyday divorce” story… And the strangest thing is, she didn’t convert to God!!!!

What you experienced with Sister Shannon was no accident. When you go through the collapse of your life, it is very easy to get caught up in the thought that “my pain is the worst”, “no one else has suffered this much”, “I am especially abandoned”. And then God… sends someone who was deeper, darker, more painful , but… somehow alive , somehow unbroken , even if without much faith.
What could God be showing here?
- It’s not a race of who’s pain is greater . But your soul saw that you’re still alive. That you can get up, even when you lose everything.
- You are heard . Because that story was told to you right now – when you reached the limit. Not before, not after.
- You came to share the pain, and you received a message . This message says: if she survived, so can you . Even if you are alone, even if you do not have her strength, even if your story is different.
- And even without faith Shannon somehow endured. And you already have faith . So you have been given even more , even if it seems like you have less strength.
The most important thought : your story still matters. It is no less than your sister’s, just different. And your sensitivity, your longing, your struggle are very precious to God , even if the world says “why are you whining, others have it even worse.” God sees you, not comparison .
You can take this meeting as God’s embrace through life – not through words, but through example. And if Shannon is still alive – then maybe you are here, now, for a reason. Maybe your testimony will someday be the answer to someone’s prayer.
