It has been a while since she and I had talked. Almost 3yrs ago, my daughter & her daughter went to preschool together.
I don't understand why things like this happens. I can't even begin to imagine what it is like to bury a child...when God says its time for your baby to come home. I know that Jesus weeps with you when this happens. I know that you have to have complete utter faith that its all within his plan. We may not understand it at the moment or want to hear it.
I remember when my grandfather died. It was the first death in our immediate family. We heard all kinds of things from "he's in heaven now, no longer in pain"..."he's in a better place"...and oh my favorite: "so-in-so is in a hospital near death & no one comes to visit them".
Well AT THAT MOMENT...i was wishing that "so-in-so was dead and NOT my grandfather because he had so many people who loved him. I know he's in a better place BUT at that moment...I want him here on earth. I know heaven is real BUT I want my grandfather here so I can still the story of the day I was born.
Can for a moment CAN YOU JUST FEEL THEIR PAIN. The loss of someone so dear to them that has been taken away. No chance to say good-bye. No seeing their face everyday.
We have our faith...we know that heaven is a better place....we know that all the pain is taken away...we know that somewhere down the line all will be revealed on why we had to go through this pain.
BUT for the moment...just say "I'm so sorry for your loss" and maybe "I'm praying for you"...and "Your family is in my prayers".
Please...Please keep this family in your prayers. You can find them at Healing Evan.
