wwjd it was hard to lose them so close together, but my mom was 87 and had Alzhimers so her loss was really a relief, since we felt like she had left years ago. My father was 92 and was just miserable after my mom died so his suffering also ended. They both lived good long lives and they were both super dedicated Christians. The next thing they will see is Jesus, then each other. Death is really not all that bad for some. I praise Him every day that my parents are no longer suffering and are on a hill top about a mile away, awaiting His return.
QUOTE(wwjd @ Mar 2 2007, 11:20 PM) [snapback]181846[/snapback] My point in saying it was 3 weeks ago was addressing the comment that all the DS supporters must be gone to the funereal or whatever it was that was said. Richard, my heart indeed goes out to you. We might be on different sides on this thread but we are on the same side of the grief felt when we lose our parents. I can't imagine losing them a month apart. Only God could bring you through something like that. To me, death is the worst punishment of all for living on this earth. Thank God we know we will be united with our loved ones in the heavenly kingdom. I don't know how people that "don't believe" can make it through the deaths of their loved ones. A year and a half would seem like yesterday in the grief process. I will pray for you. |

Whether a year and a half, seven, ten, or in my Grandmother's case over twenty years - grief is still grief to that person. When my Mother speak of her Mother she still will cry at times.... that's still grief and longing/missing.
Regardless of the timespan wwjd. Can we just pray for peace for the family? Can we just pray? Is this a time to justify being right?
