There was a post on the forum about a week ago. I forgot who wrote it. But, it was from someone who had lost a parent a year ago and was having trouble coping since then. She stated she wasn't religious at all. If she doesn't have faith in God though she will never fully heal. She can go to all the counselors she wants but it will not help her. She is missing the most important part in all of our lifes. Faith in God to help us through this and our other problems in our lives.
I want to share with everyone a experience that I had 15 years ago when my mother was battling colon cancer. She was in the hospital one time shortly before her passing and was in severe pain and on morphine. She was unable to get out of bed due to it.
I couldn't stand to see her that way and got extremely angry with God for putting her through all of her suffering. So, I went home from visiting her in the hospital and was crying and got on my knees and begged God to ease her pain. I told God I was angry with him. I put all my emotions and anger out there to him.
Anyway, the next day I went to see my mother again in the hospital. She looked terrific and was sitting up in her chair with a big smile on her face. I looked around and noticed her morphine pump wasn't on. I was about to jump all over the nurses and asked mom why it wasn't on. She said " I don't know what happened but all the sudden during the night all the pain left my body like a miracle. I then told her I was really upset and had prayed to God for relief. She said "God sure did listen to you. "
My mom unfortunately didn't survive her cancer. But, we had many occasions in which God helped us cope. The doctor expected my mom to really struggle during her last hours. She didn't! She went peacefully in minimal discomfort with my dad and I holding her hand. If anyone can possibly have a beautiful death she did.
Please keep the faith everyone. God may not cure us but he will be with us on the journey and will provide comfort if you ask with faith. Kim
