When Someone You Love Dies

A link to a brochure that discusses this topic with questions like these:

3 “It Can’t Be True!”
7 Is It Normal to Feel This Way?
14 How Can I Live With My Grief?
20 How Can Others Help?
26 A Sure Hope for the Dead

I would appreciate very much some discussion on this topic, and hopefully it will allow for comfort and hope for ALL.

You asked this question:

th pain we sufer in ths life is it a test by god if u dnt mind me asking???

This is a great question. Here is just one scripture that answers your question.

* James 1:13 — When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone. *

In fact, God is the one who gives us the strength to survive our trial or pain.

* 1 Corinthians 10:13 — No temptation has taken YOU except what is common to men. But God is faithful, and he will not let YOU be tempted beyond what YOU can bear, but along with the temptation he will also make the way out in order for YOU to be able to endure it. *

So why do we face such pain and trials? Because SATAN is really the ruler of the world.

* 1 Peter 5:8 — Keep YOUR senses, be watchful. YOUR adversary, the Devil, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking to devour [someone]. *

This explains why the world is so bad. But God does intend on changing this when his son Jesus starts to rule over the earth with God's Kingdom.

Yes indeed there is much hate. Why? Simply because of the ruler of this world.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS
Satan is a real person. He is a rebel angel, a spirit creature who opposes God. The Bible calls Satan “the ruler of this world.” (John 12:31) He uses “lying signs” and “deception” to accomplish his aims.—2 Thessalonians 2:9, 10.

The Bible calls Satan a "manslayer" or murderer and the "father of the lie"

No wonder the world is the way it is.

Does anyone else feel pressure to always reply because you're afraid it'll be the last conversation?

Hi everyone. This is my first post here.I lost my brother in December 2024 to an accidental overdose. He passed away suddenly in his sleep. We were only a year and a half apart in age, and he was the closest person I've ever had.One thing I've been struggling with ever since is that I feel an overwhelming pressure to reply to texts and answer calls as soon as I can. If someone messages me and I don't respond right away, my mind starts thinking, "What if something happens to them before I reply?…See More
