My beloved Aunt died last week of cancer.... and I was wondering why God, if there is a God, takes the sweetest people away from us....seriously, why couldn't God have taken my drug addict/abusive Uncle Ron for example, who is living a great life now but lived a selfish life dragging people down? She was seriously one of the most sweetest people to grace this earth.....she raised me when my mother abandoned me since I was 8 as her own, kept me out of trouble, made sure I went to college and got a good job, read to me at night when I couldn't sleep, held me when I cried, I have never lost anyone close to me like this before....now I know how it feels, it hurts so bad, it hurts worse than any relationship-break up, it hurts worse than getting fired, why did this have to happen? I just want answers to why she had to go through such pain, im really confused and angry right now.....

i'm very sorry for your loss.
Your aunt was put on this planet for the purpose of making you what you are and it sounds like she did a good job.
God had this all planed out before you or your aunt were created. Your aunt did a wonderful job and did what God wanted so now she is in the most beautiful place you can imagine and is with all the people she misses who passed away before her and is waiting for you .
Please do what God has planned for you . All you have to do is learn to listen. Good luck and God bless.

Don't take this the wrong way, and I know it won't make you feel any better, but, man, you are lucky. I never had anyone like that in my life.
I won't even attempt to address your grief because nothing that anyone said made me feel better after my parents died, and especially after my brother died (although I didn't get much sympathy anyway). However, you are in a position to do something wonderful with your life for having known such a remarkable women -- pay it forward.
Your aunt made an enormous difference in your life, and you can make the same difference in the lives of others. Many of us can't do that because we never learned how, so you're at a distinct advantage to make the world a better place. Maybe making that her legacy can help you to deal with your pain.
You have my condolences.

Hi, Nicholas, I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. It is difficult to make sense of things sometimes but it is good you are trying to figure things out. Death is a part of life but that doesn't make it easier to cope with when it happens, but I believe God uses these life experiences to help us grow and mature both emotionally and spiritually and you seem to be headed that way. I reacted the same way as you when I went through a very difficult time in my life. I started looking to God for answers because I didn't feel like I was getting them from anybody else. I started praying and journaling like I'd never done before and seeking God for answers. I even went to the public library and started looking for help in the books there. I stumbled on the book "How to Listen to God" by Charles Stanley and it helped me so much. I didn't even know who he was , but have found him to be very wise in his advice. I ended up learning a lot over the next several years, have drawn closer to God and my life has never been better. It's not always a smooth road, but it's never been more fulfilling. I wish only the best for you,
Sue

I am sorry for your loss.
I suppose everyone knows that we all have a limited time here on Earth, that no-one can physically live forever...it is just that when that reality occurs to someone we love, it takes on a whole new, jolting realization. Dealing with it is new territory. Nothing can prepare you for it and nothing compares to it. Yet, people treasure, cherish and hold dear the experience of knowing and loving the person who passed away, grieve - and eventually gain strength to live day by day This will happen with you too, sooner than you think and you will find a place of peace and understanding...
God Bless.

I am truly sorry for your lose. I know the deep hurt you are feeling, but there is a reason. I don't have all the answers, but God has a purpose for everyone living. My husband died and he to was one of the nicest people I ever knew. I still think about him and remember all the good he did. But I do know that when God fulfills his plan for this earth, he will be part of the Resurrection back to earth, and your aunt will be there also. You have a chance of seeing all your loved ones again, you just need to find out how.

Did you ever think that the cancer was more painful then she let on? And her suffering had gone on to long. Death might have been the best thing for her. My mom died of Pancreatic Cancer and when you are diagnosed with that it's already taken it's course and death comes within a couple of months or even weeks. I was glad for her when she finally passed her suffering ended. So don't be sad be happy her pain has finally ended. Cancer is a beast and no one should have to die in that painful manor. Just be happy for the times you did have with her. And be happy she is in a better place. Hope this helps.

Death is a fact of life. We all are going to die one of these days. This is an ultimate truth that everyone has to accept. Your uncle Ron will die one of these days, so will you and I.
I am sorry for your loss.
Your aunt died but she had cancer, in all probability had she lived on a few more weeks or months she would of suffered even more. This way she is at peace and she left behind the good memories.

some gods are entities, a variety of of those are ancestors together as others are spirits of categories. all and assorted who has said as upon the elements to guard corners be attentive to spirits exist. there are a variety of of styles of spirits previous straightforward elementals, some were worshiped as gods. Many gods are allegories or thoughts that were fed believers' energies for classes of time. yet how sentient and questioning and in a position can an allegory be? the real use for an allegory is a device to regulate states of recommendations. I have requested many circumstances in this internet web site for someone to outline what a god is, yet continually replaced into disillusioned. i'd might want to favor to describe myself as eclectic. understand-how and understand-how are much better important than sticking with one particular mythology or yet another. i'm from the yankee Midwest.

God took your dear Aunt, so she would not have to suffer anymore! No one knows why people get cancer and have to suffer with it. When God created the world and all that is in it, many years ago, the world was perfect and then Adam & Eve disobeyed God and were banned for the Garden of Eden. After that the world was no longer perfect. As for your Uncle, he will someday go before God to be judged. We all have to pay for our sins, sooner or later.Keep this thought in mind, Jesus was crucified and died for our sins. And He was Gods beloved Son. There are many suffering in this world today. We call them martyrs.

Don't look at it that way my friend. See sometimes people who are the most Holiest die and leave behind their lives treasures. But never blame it on God. No God did not take her, things just happen. So therefore my friend He received her. Also when talking about treasures I'm not talking about earthly treasures, I'm talking about the treasures you can only find inside. She most likely shined with those delights. And now my friend you have a testimony to share, don't dim out the light in the most brightest part of your life my friend. And may you have a Blessed day. Bye.
