I am so sorry for your severe set of losses.

Below is a link that answers the question "Why do we die?"

Why do People Die?

There are other resources on that site that can help.

One thing that I know...I need HOPE to be able to get through each day. What the Bible promises about the future for our dead loved ones gives me HOPE.

If there is anything that I can do to comfort and help please let me know.

Dennis

The words I'm sorry don't convey the full impact of ur loss.  It seems that these things come in waves, and the grief comes in waves, when least expected.   Just try to walk through the really bad feelings, it will lessen, but never go totally away.  I lost my oldest sister, a friend, and a granddog within a couple months of each other.  It was like one blow after another.  I'm finally able to go out a little from my house, but know the feeling of the days staying in just seems easier.  I joined a yoga group, and a painting group (anything like knitting, crafts etc), and it seems to distract me.  No one in the group know of the loss and that seems to have helped also, as I don't feel the need to "explain".  Just suggesting as may be it will help u take a couple small steps out of the deepest part of this.  Best to you in this terrible struggle, just know it will get a little better.
