This is a fact.

Ecclesiastes 9:5 "For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. 6 Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished..."

Most people are not shown this passage in the Bible because it contradicts so many religious teachings. But I believe it. Our loved ones are asleep, so it is no wonder that they cannot contact us.

But notice this.

John 5:28 "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life,..."

So we have a wonderful promise that one day they will wake up and we can be reunited with them. This gives me understanding and hope.

I can SOOOO relate to this!  I asked my husband while he was dying to please just let me know that he is okay.  I've called out for a sign and found nothing but emptiness.  I always struggled with my faith in God, but it is a real challenge now to believe because I feel nothing but emptiness!  I don't feel my husband's presence or God's presence for that matter...just this unbearable isolation.  I know how you feel, so in a way, you aren't alone because I also feel the same way.  Take care.

That may be true, but I truly believed he wasn't really leaving us. As childlike as that is, I really believed it. I just need to wrap my head around everything. I have lived in denial for 7 months so is so crazy when reality hits.
