So sorry to hear. Unfortunetly I've had my fair share of good people go down that road and it just never gets easier. Just wish it would end.....Just know he's going to better place..
Agrees, and it is tough watching the people we know and love go down that road, friends or family or maybe just from a distance we feel the pain even after they have passed on. We miss them and we all struggle with it.
My Father was killed in 1962 working for the electric company really before real safety procedures were put in place. He was wearing all the protective gear required at that time but the rubber gloves only came right below the elbow and the line he was working on was as they say "Hot". It grounded out on him like a giant spark plug and killed him. Over the years I have purposefully searched out people that really knew him to kind of get to know him myself because I was so small then I barely can remember him, only through other people's memorys. I never found anyone that said anything bad about him, other than he did have a quick temper. He was a deacon in the church and I can remember we were there a lot. Because of things like that, that happen to him safety in much better now. They wear gloves up to their shoulders I believe.
In my old age, I am good with it now as well, I realize the very instant he took his last breath had been planned by God a long time ago. If a person believes in God and believes that God doesn't make mistakes, and is control of life and death. Then we got to trust Him to get us through it, and He does.
I recently read a book called "Heaven is for Real" about a little boy that was misdiagnosed and his appendix ruptured, he almost died. He tells his mother and father as he starts getting better about things and people he saw in heaven. ( I highly recomind the book)
A little story from the book that the little boy told, than Ray will Shhhhhh!
The little boy's Father is a pastor and he had to go visit an man in his last moments that was himself a pastor. The little boy went with him and family was in the room with the old gentleman just barely still living. They talked a little and the Pastor before he was going to leave said a prayer for the old man and his family in this very tough time. The pastor and his son began to leave the little boy went back to the old man and took his hand, and said, "It's going to be alright. The first person you meet when you get to heaven will be Jesus."
