A death in the family leaves a void that cannot be filled. No one can ever take the place of this individual in the world. We should not try to comfort the family by saying that "you will see him/her in the resurrection", or, "he/she was suffering". These may be words of comfort later. However, there must be time to mourn the fact that things will never be the same. One minute he was here and now he is gone. The human mind must be allowed to sit with this reality. Mourning is a necessary part of the human experience. If it is ignored, a general feeling of sadness may pervade the whole family.
This week one of the strongest Witnesses I ever met in my life passed unexpectedly. When I last saw him, he looked so peaceful and happy. I can honestly say that he fought the good fight and people every where can be heard saying "Job well done". One thing I can say about this brotha....he encouraged me to come from the dark side and quite blaming Jehovah for things that went wrong in my past and to be his friend in the present and look 4 ward to the future in paradise. I still can't believe me friend is no longer here.
Revelations 21verse 3/4 is so real.......
I am Ward....
