What happens when your mate dies?

by Raymond Lochala

Overview

Marceil and I were married for 60 years, minus 5 months. We were very close together. Both of us worked in public jobs. Both of us would cook; both of us would buy groceries; both of us would clean house every Saturday. Where she went, I went. Where I went, she went to. So you can see we were very close. We enjoy each others' company. Marceil, when she was in her late seventies, had open heart surgery. She lived for six more years. I remember after we had laid her to rest that final day and everyone had left; I went in to fix my bed. I was in our house all alone. I kept listening for a voice. At night time, we did most of our talking. No voice could I hear. I broke down. I knew that my well had run dry and I needed help. I went to my heavenly Father and there God met me and began to talk to me. I found a river of water that flowed from the throne of God. This is what gave birth to this book.


Dear reader, in your distress, God wants you to call upon him. As he helped me, so he will help you.

About the Author

Raymond Lochala was brought up in a family that believed in going to Church. They were in Church at least three times a week or more if a revival was going on. After finishing high school, Raymond attended Southwestern Bible College in Texas. He attended one year, before being drafted into the U.S. Army and spending a tour in West Germany where he served as a medic. Upon his return to the U.S., he married Marceil Davis, who he had been dating since high school.


After three years of marriage, Raymond told Marceil that he was going back to college to complete his degree. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Bible. God had other plans for him though. He returned to school and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in education. Raymond would be in a classroom instead of behind a pulpit. He would spend his working life teaching children.

After nearly sixty years of marriage, Marceil passed away. God spoke and told Raymond to write about how God had helped him in his deep grief and that God will help others in distress if they will call upon him.
