God truly is awesome. God is also many other things as you probably already know. God is Love. God is all powerful. God is all knowing. The description you gave of the death of this loved one would puzzle me. I might suggest you talk to someone you know in the health profession and ask them. All I can tell you is that God is in control. It is God who is in control of who lives and who dies. God can do no wrong. And everything God does is right. It is hard to understand, but we accept it by faith.

One the other hand OCD can cause you a lot of what if's. What if this. What if that.

Roger the Minister - verse for today

Psalms:68:20: He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto God the Lord belong the issues from death.

My husband died from a brain injury he suffered in a bike wreck. When I got to the hospital I was told he was unconscious and their was nothing we could do. As I talked to him tears ran down his cheek and I felt hopeful. The doctors tried to explain but I wouldn't listen. The injury was to bad and could not be repaired and as the swelling continued his brain functioned less until his organs just shut down. But he could still hear me before the swelling got too bad though he never opened his eyes. I refused to let them take away the life support until I could no longer deny he was gone. I don't know if this helps or not but the doctors can only do so much. One of the nurses told me it is not uncommon for fluid to run from the eyes. I prefer to believe he heard me and was as sad as I was we had to part this way!

you just got a sign that they are now at peace, an it was time for you to know that they had moved on. I lost my son an learned more that I thoght I would or ever wonted to but for three months an alot of things an thats, I can't say trust me but you have to trust me. no one wonts to give up an no one did, what had to be done was what was done. we just don't wont to say o.k. there nothing that can be done, but with the brain we have to respect what it can an not do. your friend just wonted you to know that they were o.k.......candeda
