Well it seems my father has taken a turn for the worse. Drugs and machines are keeping him alive and we are now faced with a terrible decision.I'm sitting in the chapel typing now. It seemed so clear what to do but he has moved his arm and opened his eyes when we have talked to him. So hard on my mother. Just praying God will help us through this decision. My mother and I agree he wouldn't want this. Just torn apart. Thank you all for the words and support. For some reason my father turned from religion a long time ago even though my mom raised us in the church. But I know he believes in God so I'm hoping God will be that for him. Thank you all.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74184309 Loss Of A Loved One
Losing a loved one can be stressful and painful.
If they were taken as a result of an illness, at least you realize that they are now in a truly better place, with no pain nor sadness.
But if the person was taken unexpectedly, many folks struggle with the loss, even to the point of being angry with God.
No human can truly know God's reasons,but here's some thoughts.
If the person was rebelling against the Lord, maybe they were taken & given one last chance to Believe & ask forgiveness.
Maybe the person was back-sliding in life, and the Lord took the person home before things got worse.
Perhaps the Lord had / has tasks for the person to do that required the person to be in spirit form.
Or maybe the Lord was pleased with the person so much that He brought that person home.
I'm sure there are many other possible reasons.
Pray to the God that the person was actually Saved.
Give thanks to God for the good times you spent with the person. Those memories will last in your heart.
