I won't as I've experienced union with God and can do nothing but be joyful when one is released from the material body to go back to be with God. I can't cry or be sad about "death" anymore, even if it were my own husband, God forbid (I still want to live a long and happy life together!), I wouldn't be able to... I'd miss them, but I wouldn't be sad, I know it's not long until we see each other again, beyond the mirror, undarkly (to put it in Paul's terms).
What about you?

I will pray for you when you experience death in your family. My father passed away last month and he was strong in the Lord but I miss him and will for a long time.

If someone really close to you dies, your beliefs will certainly help, but their is no way you are not going to feel the hurt that will occur, and have to go through a grieving period, you are only human. I had belief to that death, was not that bad a thing, when my brother died, I was surprized how strong the disconection cause by a death could affect me. I hope you are lucky, and don't have an event like that occur, anytime soon.

Hm. there is no longer something incorrect inclusive of your perspective. i do not take vegetation to a grave, both. I also believe in getting on with my existence. The unhappiness is extra of a sorrow that you journey at the same time as someone on the brink of you is now no longer there. that is an emotion tied to lacking the loved one and not in any respect being able any extra to share powerful options and memories. Christians believe that the guy who has "exceeded" has gone to a extra positive position. that is often used as convenience over the "loss." My Dad's funeral turned right into a comic tale and a circus and the minister's tries to praise his existence changed into no longer favored. Dad ought to have rolled over in his grave had he been round for the shape. on the different hand, my spouse's mom's funeral turned right into a good one as friends and acquaintances appropriate anecdotes about her existence, lots of that were relaxing and good to bear in options.

Ma'am, i'm sure that you love him (your husband) so much, but if God take him away from you just for his goodness, you have to know that. If you love him, you cannot be egoist because loving means give anything for the object of love, not for the subject (who loving). perhaps it must be so hurt but, if you love him, you'll be happy if he is happy....
So, if you're sad, just call Jesus in your heart. He can be your husband. Just like mother Theresa said that Jesus is her husband...
And you have to love him (your new husband) more than you love your husband.
Ok, God Bless you

it is a sad and happy experience when someone you love dies like when my grandma (whom I was extremely close to) died after battling ovarian cancer for 7 years I was happy because she was in a better place and wasn't suffering anymore but it was also sad because i didn't want her to die we wanted her to stay on earth but without cancer. It's just a really diffucult time and you really have to put your faith into God's hands at that time.

It's just our selfish nature to not want to let go of something or someone we love. We never want to let go. We want good things to last forever. That's why we cry.
