When we lose one so important in our lives it comforts so much to know they have the very best, while we wait out the rest of our walk. Tears help the healing a little, yet time seems to stop when the tie from this life to another has been broken. Just a little thought from one who has my beloved in heaven, while I ramble on down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know our loved ones are at Home and looking into the eyes of Jesus (Can't get any better than that), but we simply miss them dearly in this earthly realm. God created us with a whole gamut of emotions, so it is perfectly understandable to mourn when a loved one passes. We are, after all, human. Blessings to you.

Welcoming to our eternal home forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life is not bliss, its the celebration of a full relationship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know that our loved ones who were born again believers are looking into the eyes of Jesus.Not everyone goes to heaven.That is a Biblical statement.

Please clarify because it seems to me that you drop a bomb & then disappear?If you have come sincerely to ask questions & to further advance your walk with Christ,I welcome you & I am thrilled you are here,,,,,if you have come simply to stir the pot ,it is not entertaining With love-in Christ.Kwik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't mean we don't celebrate the life they had but I also think grieving is a way of honouring who they were and how much they meant to us.I don't think it's a shame to grieve Edited November 5, 2015 by ametay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
