I am not trying to stir you up, just a simple question. In my 40 some years, I have lost a lot of loved ones. My mom, all my grandparents, even my very best friend. Losing these people hurt greatly, but at what seemed to be a point of despair, especially when I lost my best friend about 4 months ago, The peace of my Lord came and I could instantly feel his presence as he lifted me up, and assured me that we would indeed be together again. I am a Christian, and this has happened on many occasion, but only when I knew that the one who had passed was indeed a true Christian, not just in word, but someone who had indeed trusted their life, and heart to Christ as their personal savior. My question is this, I do not fear death. I don’t want to die, not yet anyway, but when the time comes, I believe that I will “awake” in the presence of my Lord and Savior, and eventually I will be reunited with those I loved who have passed before me. What I would like to know, is how do you deal with your belief, when you lose a close loved one. How do you accept you belief that you will NEVER, EVER, see, speak, or love that person again? Does that not leave a great void in your life, especially if that loss is a child of yours, how do you cope with that? If I live in a delusional world, when I die I will not even know it, but If you are wrong, and you find your self separated forever not only from God, but from everyone that you ever cared for, what then?
