When Someone You Love Dies
A link to a brochure that discusses this topic with questions like these:
3 “It Can’t Be True!”
7 Is It Normal to Feel This Way?
14 How Can I Live With My Grief?
20 How Can Others Help?
26 A Sure Hope for the Dead
I would appreciate very much some discussion on this topic, and hopefully it will allow for comfort and hope for ALL.

It's very simple
1 Peter 5:8 — Keep YOUR senses, be watchful. YOUR adversary, the Devil, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking to devour [someone].
So you see, Satan is really a very cruel individual. He doesn't cause each individual case of suffering, but his rulership is responsible for the state of cruelty that we see in the world.
Some suffer more than others as well.
Ecclesiastes 9:11 — I returned to see under the sun that the swift do not have the race, nor the mighty ones the battle, nor do the wise also have the food, nor do the understanding ones also have the riches, nor do even those having knowledge have the favor; because time and unforeseen occurrence befall them all.
So the scriptures tell us that bad things don't necessarily happen to everyone, but that bad things can happen to anyone.
Gods Kingdom will resolve this issue.
Psalms 37:11 — But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.
What a wonderful promise

Psalm 39:7. What a beautiful scripture. Yes I put ALL of my hope in God.
When his Kingdom does come, we will experience wonderful blessings.
Revelation 21:4 — And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
I looking forward to that!!!!

Hi, I've felt some of the things mentioned. Being recently widowed I'm finding living alone rather hard to accept, but I know, accepting it I have to. When death comes without warning its hard to believe at first, hard to accept; I've thought of all the years we've had and acknowledged it and been grateful for them, but the hurt is still there.
What I've found most difficult is finding new friends after a lifetime of just one, my husband. We were together for 45 years, hardly apart during this time, the outside world seemed far away. Now the outside world is a new world to me. How do you begin again?

I am very sorry for your loss.
If there is anything that I can do to help just let me know.
Please follow the link at the top of this discussion. Just to be encouraged.
Your feelings are normal, although difficult.

You bet it's difficult, I'm at a loss. Its the loneliness that gets to me. I guess you are in the USA, well I'm in the UK, but death is the same the world over. Making new friends I find very difficult, where to go and what to do?

Yes DEATH is just a terrible thing. The Bible calls death an enemy. It is not part of Gods plan, but he will solve these issues when his Kingdom finally comes.
Until then, we will help each other the best we can. Stay in touch, and if there is anything we can do to comfort you we will.
I know comfort doesn't take pain away, but without all can feel hopeless

Being the Other Woman/Other Man
This is for anyone who has lost their lover to death and you were the other woman/other man in their life. We have to grieve in silence. I can't find any support groups and feel like I'm the only one going through this situationSee More

LESBIAN ..GAY 2 SPIRITED loss and grief
Anyone who has lost their gay partner..soon finds that there may be a few things that are different...such as sorting through things and feeling like an intruder because it is also family stuff etcSee More
Assumptions
An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true. Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions. This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
