The best thing to say is to not say anything, that’s my opinion.

Jesus loves you Ann. And forgives you. Provided you hand over your life to him and realise he died for you.

Your mum sounds a great person- was she full of spunk as well?

I agree death is a part of life. I for one can’t wait to take my place next to Him at the top table. It will be ace. Better than anyone can imagine. I imagine it would be a big room with a massive scalextric, big tellies, and a swimming pool filled with cherry coke and endless supplies of pizza.

Praise be.

I hope your mum is looking down and forgiving you.

I truly don’t wish to be uncharitable but this post is so very wrong on so many levels. After two years as my mother’s companion — I exchanged work for her company so that I could share in her wealth of experience — which was worth more than any salary.

After a brief hospitalization, in the face of devout members of the family deciding what was ‘right’ for her, I followed her request and took her home. I assisted her through her last 30 days as she began child and I mother. It was gentle, peaceful and richly rewarding emotionally.

I didn’t rail at doctors or nurses. She was going to die and I saw that she did so peacefully. There is no reason for anger; it is a selfish indulgence.

I have joy in my heart for the time I shared with her. What tears occasionally come, are for me. Death IS a part of life; we are born, we live and we die. It a beautiful cycle of life. We have abandoned the celebration of life at this time. It is the moment that a life is truly fulfilled.

Why are the religious so bitter?

Thanks guys and Thank you Lord.

I am stretching this a little further at the risk of sounding naggy or whatever, but I want to share this and all Glory be to GOD, guess what I read in my devotional today, you wouldn’t believe it!

“..We don’t love others in the midst of this kind of pain by pretending that it isn’t all that bad or by trying to quickly fix it with some pat theological answers. We love them by first weeping with them…” quoted from Suffering and the Sovereignty of God by John Piper

It was talking about sharing grief. Coincidence? I say no way.

I second that. My prayer is always to be a tool of God willing, ready and able hopefully…and in His skilled hands.
