My dad passed away on Easter of this year, he was 99 and missed my mother who had passed away the previous year. They had been married for 73 years and even though I miss both of them terribly I know they are together and he is happy again to be with his beloved wife. My brother passed away a couple of months after my mother so they are all together. I am grateful to God that I was able to live w/them and help them the last few years of their life here on earth.

My younger sister Becky passed away Aug. 9th after a 10 month battle with brain cancer. She was 55. Her husband and children, myself, and other family members helped to take care of her at home the best that we were able w/hospice. My prayer to God was that she wouldn’t suffer long and that her family be with her when she left this earth. God is good, it was an early Monday morning around 3 a.m. but we were all with her, knowing her time had come. We all got to be with her and tell her we loved her and would forever miss her. Just as she was fading, the song “I can only Imagine” began playing on their compter. Gods timing is perfect. I dearly miss my sweet baby sister.

These departures of our loved ones is always a very slow deep valley. We will never understand God’s timing and purposes in full – at best we sometimes get a glimpse into His sovereign hand of love. I lost an infant daughter many years ago – she died in my arms – and now looking back I just humbly understand He has His ways and usually they are issues of the heart which we cannot see with human eyes. It is above our finding out ? The Master Physician knows what He is doing !

Sometimes He will give at your prayer request an eternal glimpse through spiritual eyes of some redeeming work He has wrought. Nevertheless, this is never guaranteed to us on this side. We are feeling in the dark many times without understnding of the whys? and it requires a faith in Him through grace alone.

One thing is for sure as I get older – more and more are being added on the otherside ” As Time Goes By ” so to speak. So I do look forward (in awe) to seeing my Lord Jesus as a Lamb slain – but I also look forward to seeing my daughter , my father , my sisters , and many missed friends in glorious paradise.

Maybe its all as simple as: This is not our final home, and we continue to look more and more toward heaven in this life by the deaths we suffer. We are His beautiful bride and He (Jesus) longs for us also; as a husband usually does long for his bride. One by one we are making our departure. No one escapes the door to eternal life called death.

Make Jesus your Savior today !

I too have had to deal with suicide – not sure why – but some day we will understand.

Words to an old song I would like to share with you:

We will talk it over in the by and by
We will talk it over my Lord and I
I will ask the reason – He will tell me why
When we talk it over in the by and by.

Humm good to read the stories….. I have gone through many types of loss in my life… I lost 3 brothers growing up ,my father, uncle, and some friends. recently my very close friend committed sucide and I found him,,, I was never clear if he had that personal relationship with Jesus….though he lived as though. He was a very caring loving person, and strange thing he was always happy…well appeared to be??? the night I found him :while he was in the hospital I had the pastor pray for him.
Its difficult to see or understand why he did this … its a total different grief??? One of not understanding ,one of anger toward him for doing it, and that of shear saddness, confusion and loss!!! I never have ever asked God “Why” before but in this situation I have to ask ???? I don’t understand???

This site really helps with the sadness I have had with my husband Gary leaving us and going Home. But I know that he is well now he dealt with lung cancer and several other ailments over the last 10 years. I am so happy that he is at peace now which gives me more solace and comfort now. Thank you again.

We lost my brother, last August, in a drowning accident. He was a generous, loving man. A grade school teacher and baseball coach to many. Over 800 people attended services to pay their respects. A scholarship fund has been set up in his name and also a Facebook Memorial page with over 960 members.
I still think of him every day and know in my heart that he is with the Father.
He lived his life helping others not only by teaching and coaching but had just become a Third Knight with the Knights of Columbus.
You will forever be with us, Dennis, in spirit, until we meet again.
