  1. “When my father died in a traffic accident, I could not believe it at first,” "It seemed so unfair—he was just an innocent pedestrian. But there was nothing I could do. He was in a coma for five days before he passed away. Somehow, I kept myself from weeping in front of my mother, but I broke down when I was alone. ‘Why? Why?’ I kept asking myself. “During those dreadful days, I kept asking, praying for help so I could control my emotions and to give me peace. And I gradually felt calmer. I remembered a while ago I read in an old ancient book of wisdom that ‘unexpected events’ can befall any one of us at anytime of our lives..........
  2. “The living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing at all, nor do they have any more reward, because all memory of them is forgotten. Whatever your hand finds to do, do with all your might, for there is no work nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom in the Grave, where you are going.” Nevertheless we all have the hope of a resurrection, that we will see our loved ones again soon... (What proof) The resurrection of lazurus "Jesus Friend" Was a foregleam of "Future Ressurection" Soon we will see our loved ones.....?
  3. i would have to say “My favorite scripture,” “is Revelation 21:3, 4.” It reads: “God himself will be with them. 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.” “This promise says it all. My feelings really go out to all of you who have lost someone they love but who are not aware of this hope of seeing their loved one again",,,,,,,,,,,
  4. Absolutely Shari As an example, consider how the patriarch Abraham reacted when his wife died. The Bible says that “Abraham began to mourn and to weep over Sarah.” The expression “began to” suggests that it took some time for him to cope with his loss. * Another example is Jacob, who was deceived into believing that his son Joseph had been killed by a wild animal. He grieved for “many days,” and his family members were unable to comfort him. Several years later, the death of Joseph still weighed heavily on his mind. Abraham mourned the loss of his beloved Sarah Clearly, Shari such painful and long-lasting feelings are only natural. Each person grieves in his or her own way, and it would be unwise to judge the way another person responds to tragedy. At the same time, we may need to hold off from condemning ourselves if our reaction to loss seems excessive. How can we cope with grief?
  5. Mom have you ever had a brief bout with illness? Perhaps you recovered so quickly that you have practically forgotten the episode. Well, grief is not like that. “There is no such thing as ‘getting over’ grief,” writes Dr. Alan Wolfelt in his book Healing a Spouse’s Grieving Heart. However, he adds: “Over time and with the support of others, your grief will soften.”
  6. Death is an uncomfortable subject. Many people prefer not to talk about it. But sooner or later, we must confront it. And the sting of death is sharp and painful.
