My boyfriend is really having a hard time about his sick grandmother. I need advice...help please?

Question

Yesterday, I was on the phone with him, we were having a usual convo, laughing & having fun...Then he said "Let me call you back", I thought nothing of it and said ok. He called back, sounding really sad, I became worried. I never heard him so sad before and it hurt me. I asked him what was wrong, he wouldn't tell me. I left it alone, and we sat in silence,he kept sighing deeply from time to time, then he said he has 2 call me back again. I said ok. He called back and told me that his grandma just had to be rushed to the hospital. I never heard him cry before, and it sounded like he was, I started to cry too. It really hurt me to know that he's sad. He sid he doesn't know what he'll do if he loses her. I feel so awful... I told him to trust God and pray for his grandma, that God keeps, her. And to pray for himself and family too. He said he can't trust someone who's let him down so many times before...I jjust didn't know what to say. God is the only way to go, it's all up to him

Any advice on how I should go about this? I want to be there for him... I really love him and it hurts me to see him like this...

Answer 1

i know the fear your boyfriend has of losing someone he loved but one thing he should know human beings we live in a circle of life and death so for him saying God has let him down he wouldnt trust him its sad because all living things have to die at one time and what we now wish for his granny is a better health and a longer life she will survive and she will be there for him let him not panic i will pray for her and both of you .take care

Answer 2

Well, there are males outside of your school, in other schools, who might know a friend of a friend of a friend, if you catch my meanings. If you don't have the guts to get out there and meet them, you don't have the reason to complain about being single. ;) Also, being patient and on the sidelines has it's benefits too. There's a reason 9 million girls come into this section everyday with their relationship problems, and life is far more than romantic relationships. You need to know to acquaint yourself with the other interesting things people do around your age-clothes, music, career thinking, life goals, family, friends, etc. Edit: Oh! And, groups, clubs, and programs, some academic and some artistic or community based, outside of what your school offers are a good place for meeting people too, not to mention beefing up any college resume you've ever considered. Good Luck! :)

Just keep doing what you are doing for him. Help him out with what ever he needs. Bring flowers or a nice card to his grandmother, and let his family know you care. Make a few meals for the family while they are busy with the grandmother. You are right that God cares for us. In the card write a nice scripture in it, one that will cheer her up. Like Psalms 145: 18,19 where it says that God hears our cries for help. Also Romans 12:12 where it tells us to persevere in prayer. Doing this will sustain us. Most people feel God does not care about us, but that is so far from the truth. If we, his creation, who are made in his image, feel terrible and hurt when we see someone suffer. How much more so does God feel hurt for us. I really hope things work out for you. Your boyfriend is fortunate to have some one like you.

Answer 4

Youre right God and prayer are the only way to go in times like this.God has his timing of doing things,you cant rush God when you pray.It dont work that way and if thats what was expecting when he said God let him down before then the prayer wont get answered.Pray in faith and believe that it's already answered as you pray.Keep your faith and help him through this and pray that God speaks to him and touches his heart and guides him through this.
I dont know your names or anything but God does and he knows the situation ,i'll be praying for you and your boyfriend and his grandmother.I pray that this makes your boyfriend stronger in faith in God, no matter what the outcome is,its in Gods hands you cant change it.

Answer 5

Texting lets you control the tone and establish what kind of conversation you want to have. Learn here https://tr.im/l9RIB
This is probably the most important part. With texting, you can stop and think about what you want to say to your ex at each step of the way. Instead of reacting emotionally, you can take your time, figure out the right thing to say (I’ll give you most of it), and be strategic with your ex without saying something that you’ll regret.

Answer 6

In my opinion God is the wrong direction, unless you know hes really religious.....but either way...just assure him that shes old and that she led a full life, and if shes suffering that it would be better for her to go than stay here in pain.....Remind him that this isn't just happening to him (people tend to get selfish when somone is dieing) and to keep her best wishes in mind(not that harsh, but general idea)

and ultimately just tell him that you are there for him if he need anything, to talk, etc.

Answer 7

1. If things between you two aren't that close or it's a newer relationship, or if the relationship isn't going anywhere - he could be making it up.

2. If he does feel sad about her, encourage him to go see her and spend time with his family.

Answer 8

you have answered your best view, all of your preferences for him is more passionate. he has priorities in her at the same time unable to cope up the situation, well such situations God is miracle giver, with out doubting Lord you both can pray and bring victory , not only in grand ms life but in your life also, take example of King David whatever kingdom he had he was best loved son of Lord. at the same time remember Samuel as he obeyed Lord and did as what Lord said to him. so please be cheerful ,

and if u take Esther and her prayers in her life was able to save the whole community of her through prayer to Lord and Lord's mighty arm was with her in needful times.
Children's prayers are heard in Heaven with out any interruption and answered as Jesus told "Let children be closer to me" do not disturb them !!

Answer 9

You have put your trust in God.
Maybe at this time he can't.
Support him as best you can without that.
Help him through this, and maybe later you can join.

Answer 10

let him know that life has it's ups and downs.. God never said we would not feel pain. God never really said anything.. But with life comes death. Nothing can or will stop that.. Live and love while you can. That's the truth.
