My mum died last thursday. It was very shocking because no one saw it coming. Since then i've experienced denial, anger and an overwhelming feeling of sadness and emptiness inside. I keep asking why it had to happen and why now. My mum died in suffering and pain and i dont even know why God decided to let her go without seeing her children get married and have kids. Please keep my family in your prayers
My mum is dead

i pray for God's comfort be upon you this time and may He awakens your soul for His Word in all your questions. God will answer as long as we continue to open our hearts to Him.
Lord may your grace be sufficient to this child of yours. I pray that you will give her a willing spirit oh God to sustain her in this unexpected time of her mum. Thank you for carrying her right now in your everlasting arms. In Jesus name. Amen
God bless you Esthy. May God be your strength.
In Christ,
Sister Reymielin

Hello Sister Esthy. I emphatize with your family. I do understand your grief...
I had lost my first pregnancy about 2 years ago... That time I almost lost my last grip on the Lord, too through a shock, denial and great sorrow. Nobody's smile and kind words could penetrate my gloomy mind and my heart. I was so weak...helpless...distressed...
Yet, it has been the Holy Spirit who has comforted me until now by ushering me here to TJ for unchoking once again the words of God until His glory has come back gradually and made me sing in the Lord once again.
From glory to glory, the Lord has changing me and now I can clearly see His will. And that is to be His true worshipper.
Later, to make my story short, my question "why me?" turned to "why not me anyway?" upon realizing back how the Lord Jesus himself suffered from much pains and sorrows caused by our sins.
Be ye comforted in the love of the Lord Jesus, my dear sister. :girl_hug:
Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Colossians 2:2
That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
Everything will be okay as long as we keep trusting the Lord's will.
In prayer,
Sister MC

I know your loss seems overwhelming, my heart aches and goes out to you and I pray for you in this difficult time.
Eventually, none of us go without the loss of a loved one; it is truly one of the greatest burdens that we share as humans; yours being so sudden is extra hard and complicated.
St. Paul said (paraphrasing):"Now we only know in part; but then we shall know fully as well as we are known".
On this Earth and until we are in the presence of the Lord, no Christian can fully understand the workings of God and why so many un-fair and cruel things happen around us in this world. Your loss is deep and hurtful and you have anger because you can't understand the purpose in it all.
It is very understandable that you lash out at God and ask why, at our weekest moments, we all call out to him, even in anger.
You must be a Christian, you must be "born again" to even come close to understanding this but God is blameless in the loss of your mother.
No matter what happens in this Life we must eventually work and live to greater glory of the Lord.
I pray that the Lord touches your heart and brings you peace and understanding that can only be sought and found spiritually.
God Bless you and your family!

I am sorry for your great loss. I love my mother so much and would never want to lose her so quickly, so suddenly and painfully. I pray that the Holy Spirit does guide you into peace. I am watching my father as he slowly dies and this causes me so many mixed feelings. I will lose a source of good wisdom that I was taught, when he passes. It scares me to think that the generation that I have loved always will be gone and I will be that generation responsible for my children and grandchildren. I pray that both you and I and others are lifted by God to be able to give as past generations have.
Amen to you sister I am sorry for your loss.
Amen to you sister I am sorry for your loss.
Thank you all for your kind words. It hasn't been easy and i miss my mum everyday. She was a fighter, a strong woman that knew how to pray. She always used to encourage me to pray. The only thing I'm trying to find comfort in is the fact that she's with Jesus and finally at peace.
Praying for you & your family, especially for God's comfort & His peace.
Since your mum knew the Jesus Christ to be her savior & personal friend prior this, you are mistaken.
Last Thursday, her body died but her spirit lives on in a place with no suffering or striving or fighting.
Though she can't be there in body, she will still get to see her children get married and have kids.
She will be there to greet each as they enter heaven.
I know you miss her, but with God there is still hope & joy.
God bless.
