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.

Yes jb, people don't have any respect.

In the new world, maybe we will have resurrection gatherings instead of funerals.

This is hownonenfamily responded when their 12 year old daughter was brought back to life by Jesus

Mark 5:42 — And immediately the maiden rose and began walking, for she was twelve years old. And at once they were beside themselves with great ecstasy.

Sounds much better than a funeral

Here is an interesting promise from Jesus

John 11:25,26 — Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life; 26 and everyone that is living and exercises faith in me will never die at all. Do you believe this?”

All very BEAUTIFUL scriptures.

I do find that the only comfort I get is from Gods word the Bible.

I look forward to this:

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 really like this scripture:

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.

Notice PEACE!!!

No more war, violence of any kind, terrorism.

What a wonderful earth that will be.

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

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
