Both my Mother & Father have passed away & I believe what Jesus :\n\nWHAT JESUS SAID ABOUT DEATH\n\nJesus Christ spoke about the condition of the dead. He did so with regard to Lazarus, a man whom he knew well and who had died. Jesus told his disciples: “Lazarus our friend has gone to rest.” The disciples thought that Jesus meant that Lazarus was resting in sleep, recovering from an illness. They were wrong. Jesus explained: “Lazarus has died.” (John 11:11-14) Notice that Jesus compared death to rest and sleep. Lazarus was neither in heaven nor in a burning hell. He was not meeting angels or ancestors. Lazarus was not being reborn as another human. He was at rest in death, as though in a deep sleep without dreams. Other scriptures also compare death to sleep. For example, when the disciple Stephen was stoned to death, the Bible says that he “fell asleep.” (Acts 7:60) Similarly, the apostle Paul wrote about some in his day who had “fallen asleep” in death.—1 Corinthians 15:6.\n\nLEARNING FROM THE RESURRECTION ACCOUNTS\n\nThe Bible teaches that the dead “are conscious of nothing at all.” They are not alive and have no conscious existence anywhere. The account of Lazarus confirms this. Upon returning to life, did Lazarus thrill people with descriptions of heaven? Or did he terrify them with horrible tales about a burning hell? No. The Bible contains no such words from Lazarus. During the four days that he was dead, he had been “conscious of nothing at all.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5) Lazarus had simply been sleeping in death.—John 11:11.\nThe account of Lazarus also teaches us that the resurrection is a reality, not a mere myth. Jesus raised Lazarus in front of a crowd of eyewitnesses. Even the religious leaders, who hated Jesus, did not deny this miracle. \n\nThink about this too: If Lazarus had been in heaven for those four days, would he not have said something about it?— And if he had been in heaven, would Jesus have made him come back to earth from that wonderful place?— Of course not!\n\nYet, many people say that we have a soul, and they say that the soul lives on after the body dies. They say that Lazarus’ soul was alive somewhere. But the Bible does not say that. It says that God made the first man Adam “a living soul.” Adam was a soul. The Bible also says that when Adam sinned, he died. He became a “dead soul,” and he returned to the dust from which he had been made. The Bible also says that all Adam’s offspring inherited sin and death too.\n\nThe Scriptural teaching of the resurrection, however, is not compatible with the doctrine of the immortality of the soul. If an immortal soul survived death, no one would need to be resurrected, or brought back to life. Indeed, Martha expressed no thought about an immortal soul that was living on elsewhere after death. She did not believe that Lazarus had already gone to some spirit realm to continue his existence. On the contrary, she showed her faith in God’s purpose to reverse the effects of death. She said: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” (John 11:23, 24) Likewise, Lazarus himself related no experiences of some afterlife. There was nothing to report.\n\nClearly, according to the Bible, the soul dies and the remedy for death is the resurrection.

Wow, what a tough situation.  I am so sorry for the loss that you are experiencing.\n\nI guess the point of making a last visit is to say your goodbyes and let the loved one know of your love for her and add some comfort you can in any way to the scary process that she's going through, as well as be around to help your other (healthy) relatives.  \n\nIn that sense, it's a good idea to ask your aunt.  My grandmother's cancer seemed to already affect her brain during my last visit with her, but we still had a great visit and it was a time that I won't forget.  You might want to ask her when she would like you to come, or how your presence can be the most helpful to her.  This goes for your other relatives.\n\nTimes like this have a way of stripping off people's fronts and exposing their real needs and desires.  I have a feeling that if you are honest and sincere with them, they will be honest with you, too.\n\nI also think that you can pray and ask God this question.  He knows everything, so He'll definitely be able to guide you as you deal with this difficult time for your family.\n\nMy best wishes to all of you.

I just lost mine 2 days ago and I hadn't seen her in 11 yrs. I had left my home country and have not gone back since then. Also I am not able to leave right now to attend the funeral, it is tearing me up so much.  I feel your pain and understand where you are in this.  As hard as it may seem we simply have to think of the good times in memory and how much joy she brought into our lives.  Life is never the same when your mother passes away, however you must go on.  Maybe you can do something together with family that will keep her memory alive.

Maybe the British Embassy in Rhodesia, they will have some sort of record of her emmigration I think. One word of advice to her though, remember your parents are the ones who brought you up and loved you dried your tears and bathed your knees when you fell. Good luck

I'm 23 and my mum passed away on April 15th from Cancer, we had no idea how serious her condition was until a couple of days before, and she was only diagnosed in January. Plus to top it all off, I'm getting married next weekend (2 days after what would have been her 51st birthday) and I'm finding it very hard to come to terms with the fact that she won't be there. \n\nIt's been so hard and I've had so many mixed feelings of guilt, regret, sadness and loneliness, but I think the key is talking to people and don't bottle it up or it will make you ill. \n\nI've had a lengthy conversation with my dad which has helped me loads and the silly thing is we're closer now than we ever have been. \n\nWhat you need to remember is time heals all wounds, and although I will find my wedding incredibly difficult, I know she would have wanted it to be the happiest day of my life and I'm sure she'll be there in spirit. \n\nI hope this has helped, especially to let you know there are others feeling the same feelings you are - just remember you're not alone and your father will always be watching over you.

My condolences on you loss.  I believe that you have a great attitude concerning waiting for God's timing.  I have a feeling (and I get these every so often and have seldom been wrong) that someone who can connect with you will enter your life unexpectedly and you won't have to do a thing except keep your eyes and heart open.\n\nGod bless you.

I would of spent more time with my mother and wouldn't of taken her for granted as much as I did. she was always there when I needed her to listen,understand and to love me. and now that she passed away I miss her doing the silly things like singing while she made supper, dancing around the living room with my son, and would give anything to hear her growl at me for not doing something she expected me to do. I was her world, I just wish I would of made her mine more than I had. I got too wrapped up in my friends and life and I would re-gain all the time that I lost. I miss her so much she has only been gone 6 months and it feels like a lifetime.

What a great man you are for giving her space. Death makes us take time out to reevaluate our life. Especially the death of a parent. I commend her for telling you when she needed space before things got nasty. I would send her gentle reminders that you are still thinking about her. A card is always a nice gentle way to say.. HEY I am thinking about you.. What a wonderful person you are for being there, and loving her from afar. Give her the space that she wants, but make sure to reminder her occationally of what you are feeling. The problem is.. it usually take about a year for a woman to come out of the "fog" of loosing a parent. Just be there for her.. and GOOD FOR YOU!

That's a tough situation and I'm so sorry for your loss. You should definitely talk openly about this with other family members and friends. You should also consider seeing your doctor for depression. Since you can't bring your mom back, try to focus on how to celebrate her. Put together a memorial with her pictures, hobbies and guest speakers. Did she have any dreams? Live out some of her fantasies for her. Feel her passion and feel her spirit inside you. The mourning period needs some closure so you can move on with your life. Try talking with more people like teachers, counselors, and even strangers. Cry a lot. Also...go ahead and talk to your mom. Ask her for advice and let your heart guide you. But don't ever give up!

I am sorry to hear about your mom. I pray your grief is short, and joy memories are many.\n\nThe word says in Hebrews, that there is a cloud of witnesses cheering us on in our spiritual walk.\nI don't believe that the ones in heaven can see us in our mundane lives but that since our spirit is eternal now, they can see the things that we do spiritually. So when we get saved, pray for someone lost, struggle with spiritual matters, yes they can be a part of that. \n\ncheering us on!

My mother passed on 3-17-01. My dad passed on 3-18-01. They were buried on 3-20-01. They divorced in 1959 and never saw each other again. Not a day goes by  without them in my thoughts. I think only of the good memories and although I miss them terribly, I have accepted it for what it is.  I had them for 46 years and now God has them for eternity. No one can tell you how to grieve, but time is a great healer. You`ll be fine. A Friend.

OH yes I will pray for you. I to am having a rough year I have lost my great grandmother then my uncle and now my grandmother is in mexico right now for cancer treatment and they don't even know which one it is and they have given her less then a year to live and what is really breaking me up about it right now is that I have a new baby girl who is going to be 3 months old soon and she hasn't even met her yet. They are hoping to send her home for christmas which would be very good because then she might have the chance to meet her great granddaughter at least once because when and if we see her at christmas it will probably  be the last time I ever get to see her again.

That is so awful.  They say you always lose people in 3's.  Anyway, it is important for me to tell you this...Before we all came to this place we had a plan already written.  In that plan we have 5 ways we can chose to leave this earth to go to the other side.  You sister was needed by God at that time.  She left to help God.  You great-grandson was never meant to come to earth yet, so God took him back until it was the right time.  Our world just wasn't ready for the great being he will now be in another life.  Your daughter had to go to the other side because it was in your life plan to take care of your granddaughter.  I know this all sounds really freaky but believe me... you are doing a great job holding it together.  You shouldn't be worried about helping other people especially on Yahoo!Answers, because your family is going through thier own grieving process and they need you.  You are their rock.  This is your plan.

Heavenly Father, I ask you to lift Noell up in your arms. I pray that you give her the strength to make it thru this day without her mother. As you know she is without her mom today and she needs your support and guidance. As you lift her up help her to feel the love of her mother thru YOU. \nIn Jesus name, I pray. Amen.
