On today’s show, I am going to continue with the second of this two-part program addressing the topic of dealing with the shock of losing a loved one. It might be that you were given time to prepare as best as possible for the departure of a loved one due to a prolonged illness. Or, it might be that you’ve had to face the sudden and unexpected death of one who was close to you, perhaps a husband, wife, child, mother, father, brother, sister, or an extended member of the family. How are we supposed to approach matters of this nature when they come to knock on our door, knowing it is clear that we must go on with life, though bereaved? It is not an easy matter to deal with. So, what is the answer? How are we to handle life when losing a loved one to the Sting of Death, which is the Last Enemy as spoken about in the Bible.
Recently, I sat down for a candid dialogue with my wife to discuss this very issue because of her own experience in suddenly losing her deep friend and husband of 22 years. I, too, have had to handle the sudden death of my son at 24 years old, as well as dealing with the death of my two sibling brothers, each within one month of the other. Of course, some of you listening here have your own survival stories to tell. Together, I think we can all learn from each other that, at least, for believers in the redemption actions of Yeshua the Messiah, there is comfort and hope. But still, even in this, the throbbing pain of the passing away of a loved one takes time and a resolve to let them go, to begin a process of healing and closure. I’m Avi ben Mordechai, and here is the continuation of my discussion with my wife on this matter of Death: The Last Enemy, Letting Go and Healing from the Pain (Part 2)
