Why do people have to die?

Question

My father just died and I am still young. He fell of of his roof and he was in bangor in the critical care unit for 24 days and on the 24th day the doctors had to shut off his life support machine or else his heart would have burst.

Answer 1

It is the way of life. born-live-die. We may not like the plans of our life or of those close to us but when it is our time we need to accept it. We should no fear of dying because why is that scary?! Aren't there worse things that we can be afraid of?! Would it really be a good idea if everyone lived forever?!

Answer 2

I'm sorry. I haven't been in your position so I dont know how you are feeling, but I hope that you have a strong support group (family, friends...) around you during this time. Its hard to put trust in the fact that things happen for a reason, but that is how I get through things. If he had lived thru this, something else more terrible might have happened to him later down the road. And as long as you feel he had a great life and was happy, maybe he had already lived the happiest times of his life and didn't want to live long and suffer till the end. Again, I am sorry for your loss. I hope that you find the comfort you need.

Answer 3

I'm sorry to hear about your father. The only explanation for people dying is... too make life important. If people didn't die, we wouldn't cherish the lives we have now. It's unfortunate that your father died this way, and not of old age many years later like most. But take this opportunity to remember your father and not fret. Don't think about the fact that he died, think about him and the fun times you shared. Use your inner strength, and try to make this a positive. Use your father's spirit to accomplish great things. He will always be looking over your shoulder.

I'm very sorry for your loss. : (

Answer 4

I'm so sorry hun. It's hard to go through losing a loved one espeacially so soon in life. Just think of the good times. It'll take awhile before the pain settles down. My dad died 7 years ago and I didn't even see him for 6 years before that and I still cry at times. It's painful but it's a way of life. If you continue having a really hard time accepting it you might try a coucelor or theripast.
Good luck and take care.

Answer 5

So sorry to hear about your father. My father also passed away when i was quite young and i was so bitter for a while. However as time goes on you will start to accept what has happened and the pain will lessen.
Death is a part of life so we should try to do all the right things in our life so we dont have any regrets in the end. Dont be afraid of death, remember its a natural occurance.

Answer 6

First of all, my heart goes out to you and your family in the recent death of your father. Many questions come to mind when people loose the people they love. I remember a time when this same question was always first and farmost in my mind. Though I grew up in the church and went to Sunday School, church and many services after, nobody could explain death to me. My first experience was my best friend, Larry, both of us in the fourth grade. I can't even remember his last name. But he died of lukemia. My mother did not want my father to show me his body, but he did. He liftted me up to the casket which was shadowed in pink. Larry had on a nice suit. But his lips were purple. I will never forget that. I didn't understand why Larry had to die. My mom and dad just said Larry was sick and could not get well. Now that I am an adult and I have been involved in the Word church, I have experienced a powerful teaching about death. It is the last enemy that must be defeated. Those of us who are in Christ do not die as we know death to be. We will rise again to a new body and a new life just as Jesus did. He came and set the example in all ways of our lives to show us just how things should be- how we should be loving one another and bringing others to the his mercy and grace. I appreciate the life of those who have died that I love and I know you do too, but don't despair. Your father will rise again and if he is in the Lord, though his body is not with you, his spirit and the love he had for you will always be alive in you. It is up to you to pass his memory and all that he was to you, on to your children.
