Religion and the unexpected loss of a soulmate
Hello,
I am really needing to hear what people who are religious cope with the loss of a loved one (unexpectedly). I believe in God but my fiancee was a Christian and was going to start volunteering at the church again.
Days after that he was gone.
Trying to grasp in my own puny way why

Kathy,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. The pain of death is so hard that it really can't be put into words. And there is nothing that anyone can say to take that pain away.
Sometimes though, things can bring comfort. This can help us along the way. Even though the pain is still present, we can at least have HOPE.
Also, understanding questions about death can help. For example: Why do we die?
Just getting a full understanding of why that happens can be comforting.
Please follow the link below.
You might find the answer surprising. What the Bible REALLY teaches about why we die, what happens when we die, and what is the hope for our dead loved ones is different from what most of us have been taught all of our lives. The TRUTH about these things can be very comforting.
I hope that somehow I can just offer some comfort. What you are going through can be so very hard, and I just like to share the things that comfort me.
Let me know if I can do anything else to help.
Dennis

What a tragedy for you and your families, I am so sorry.
I am a Christian, too, and I think we will spend much time contemplating 'why'. Death comes to everybody, and being Christian's doesn't make us inhuman. We too, will die.
My baby son died...he was only 2 months old. Why? I don't know. Your sweetheart died. Why? Is it even for us to know? We have to believe we are connected in spirit and we will see our loved ones again in our own death. This is not the end for any of us. I wish I had something more comforting but know that you are not alone in questioning 'why'.

"is griefshare a website like this?"
"Kali
I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal.
Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"
It was not supposed to be like this
In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
