Two weeks today

[Katelyn Hansen]

Again I still cant believe it, he was only 33, no signs or symptoms of his upcoming death, yet he died, OF A HEART ATTACK. this is not supposed to happen at this age, and heck I lost my dad the same say at 14 so this isnt supposed to happen to a person twice. 

Everyone is throwing all kinds of what I think are dumb questions at me right now such as:

1- Are you going to move?

2- when will you get ride of his clothes?

3- do you want a double head stone so you can be burried with him?

4- are you going to be ok financially?

5- are you going to get married again?

Then there are other people saying things such as:

1- he is in a better place- I am sorry but no we have 2 kids that he will not get to see grow up so NOT a better place

2- at least it wasnt painful for him- REALLY? come on yes I understand I wouldnt want him to die a painful death but frankley I would have preferred him to not die at all

3- I also had someone tell me "well at least he had life insurance that will take care of you for a while" Really that is the positive I need to take from this. dont get me wrong I am greatful he had the sense to think about this but still rather have him here!

I am just really still very lost, scared, frustrated, lonely, sad, I want my bear(my pet name for my hubs) back!!!!

Dear Katelyn, 

I am truly sorry for the loss of your husband. And although your post was a few weeks ago I hope you still get my message. Losing a loved one is one of the worst feelings any of us can go through. However I am writing this to you to bring you good news from God. In the Bible, Jehovah God promises us a gift that no one else in the universe can grant us. What is this gift? It is the gift of eternal life, and that those who have died will resurrect. This promise can be found in John 5:28, 29 that mentions, "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment." As you can see, Jehovah God promises a resurrection in the near future. This is no fantasy, nor a false promise, It is something we can almost reach. 

What does this promise mean for you? It means that sooner than you think, you will be able to reunite with your husband. You will be able to hug him again and walk the face of the Earth forever. Imagine that! Such a beautiful moment. You and your children have the opportunity to get to know Jehovah God and all the promises he has in store for us in the near future. For more information about this incredible gift visit our website www.jw.org or simply email me a response and I will gladly answer all your questions. You can also visit this link that explains more in depth all I have explained to you here :)
