QUESTIONS GRIEVING CHRISTIANS ASK: Why Did God Let My Loved One Die?
This is a common and tough question from grieving people. As Christians we turn to scripture for answers. And, while the Bible tells us a lot about God and how he wants us to live, it doesn’t promise that God will answer every question that begins with “Why?” God may seem very real and present when we witness a miracle and He may seem distant right now since He didn’t heal or protect your loved one from death. You may be asking “Where were you God when I needed you?” or “How could you let this happen?”
Anne-Marie Lockmyer and Ron Gray, LMFT, are professional grief specialists who both lost their beloved spouses. They run the Grief & Trauma Healing Network, LLC, have created MyGriefCare.com online grief support program and offer life-changing grief retreats for widows and other grief healing programs and services.

No happy endings in the end. My life will never be the same.
No, it won't be. We can just hear the pain in your words. So sorry for your suffering. Please don't walk this journey alone. It's hard to have hope when you hurt so much and your whole world has changed. Sometimes, all we can do is just breathe.
I agree. God isn't gonna grant us what he did Job and God got his son back in 3 days. My life also will never be the same after losing my only child. Can't have anymore. Too old. Lost all my biological family now so I am alone.
Turn to Jesus. He will never leave you, and really wants you to bring everything that troubles you to Him. He will help you if you let Him, I promise.
@@shellylewis6663I’m sorry to hear that I lost my only son my first born April 14 2024 life isn’t the same
My life will never be the same either, I lost my boyfriend and soulmate, and the hole in my heart will never heal, I hope and pray that we all can find peace someday and heal.
They say trust in God. That’s what I’m doing, but it’s so hard to not to be with my son and husband at this time. My heart hurts, but I will keep praying for peace ✝️
I have fought this for 20 years after my wife died…..I have spoken to God in anger, pain, sorrow, indescribable grief, I had to stop and let it go…..now I sit alone and try my very best to put it in his hands….many times during the day I ask Jesus to bring me closer to him , I lean my head back and I feel what seems like a gentle breath and I feel that is the Holy Spirit helping me , I feel better on most days…..I beg you for your own salvation ( don’t give up ) we will get the answer when it’s time) May God Almighty bless all of you with your broken heart….
I'm struggling with this. I read my son's journals, and he begged God to help him, to save him from the fear and pain he was suffering in his mental health illness...and God didn't help him. My son died by suicide. This is very hard for me to accept and understand.
OMG! Same thing happened to me. My son begged God to help him out of the pain he was suffering. God didn't help my son; in fact several road blocks in the mental health care system occurred and he died by suicide. I will never understand or accept God's plan and I am quickly becoming agnostic after 60 years of being a devout christian. Thank you for sharing your story. It helps to know there are others with same or very similiar circumstances. Please feel free to reach out to me. Sounds like we have a few themes with our son's in common.
God did allow him to die. He did take him home. He is no longer in pain.
@@shellylewis6663 I'm sorry Shelly. I truly understand this pain.
I'm so sorry I understand the pain but God is in control. We will meet again in Heaven, Jesus conquered death.
My son died by suicide 8 months ago. I feel so alone . Reading that I'm not alone was something I needed to hear tonight.
The one thing keeping me going is trusting God has a plan even though I feel so much pain and don't understand any of this.
Nothing can ever heal the deep wounds of losing an absolute loved one...there can be no remedy or consolation. The only thing we can do is simply flow with time until our own moment arrives to leave this physical body and meet them again in heaven!!🙏🙏
I COULD SAY THAT TOO. when i really thought the lord was healing my husband over the course of a year, but suddenly he took a turn for the worse, and died. i am broken hearted, yet I know that the Lord God never makes as mistake. He had called him Home.
Sometime we just don’t understand why god don’t answer our prayers when my son of forty nine years old was told he had cancer of the neck I prayed to god and cried out to god for the four years he had the cancer when he died I died iv never been the same since going through the second year of grieving I loved him so much more than my life I just want to scream out to god why oh why did you let him die but they say we all have our time here on earth must of been his time to go but I don’t find any comfort in this my heart as been broken hate life now long to be with him any one who is reading this that as lost a loved one my heart goes out to you as I know just what you are going through I will pray for you all god bless you all dot ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I lost my momy to ovarian cancer. She was diagnosed on my birthday and died exactly a year later on my birthday. We prayed almost everyday, believed in her healing, we had faith but Jesus still called her home. Until today its difficult to believe she's no longer with us. She was my best friend. The most amazing person I've ever met after my grandmother. I understand your pain, hold on to the very fact that Jesus conquered death. Our loved ones are in heaven with Jesus and we will see them again when our time comes and our time is sure to come. The hour, the place, the age does not matter but going to Jesus matters more.
My wife died while i was at work. Never had a chance to say goodbye. I hope someday we will be together again.
My heart goes out to you and prayers for healing brother. My mother was called home to heaven whilst I was on a plane, on my way to see her.
My husband died of a heart attack going into work my younger son died alone bleeding to death during a hurricane Both my parents died young and I have had numerous lengthy hospitalizations.i ask these questions also..8 have also lost my pets and house in a fire.hooefully we will be together in heaven.
My hubby was suffering
I miss him
I have the same question
I know God has a plan and I know he loves me.... Its all about His love... He won't leave me alone.... Im learning more about who Jesus is
I am sorry for the loss of your husband.
God answers all prayers, but sometimes the answer is NO ❤
Whatever bit of faith I had, I lost when I lost my spouse of 25 years, half my life. I don’t even pray anymore.
I want you to know you're being prayed for
God is still there …my life is almost identical, I’ll never be the same…I had 22 years and I don’t think that I can recover….but I know he’s there, sometimes I feel him, sometimes I try to talk to him, I still pray but I leave the question of why alone…I give him all honor, all love and all reverence , but I just ask to take me through this coldness that I feel enveloping me….
Why does God answer some people's prayers & not mine? Where's God's bigger plan in my husband dying, even after I prayed for his healing. It's difficult in raising two kids financially. Everyday is a struggle. Can't see God's plan knowing the struggle & challenges were experiencing.
Same here… l missed my husband so much😭
I lost my father from a second stroke… I always ask god why? Why did this happen to my dad? The more I talk to god, the more I feel ignored
I was searching for the same thing as you and found this video. I don't know Gods plan or why he let our loved ones pass but I do know his heart. He loves you and is walking with you now, ik it's hard to feel it when your heart hurts but he is there. Keep reaching out, you will find him. Deuteromy 4:29 Jeremiah 33:3 psalms 34:18
My brother is very ill with cancer and my mother has dementia the possibility of losing both of them in the next year is overwhelming me physically and emotionally my body is becoming sick because of it having a hard time crying it's almost as if my brain is shutting off my emotions in some way how do you grieve even though the person is still alive but you know it's coming and handle the situation without a destroying your own body and mind
I just recently lost my father the pain is unbearable mommy dependent on dad for everything when my father dead I ask the priest why does this happens I never got a answer but God please help me and understand so I can get through this amen 🙏🙏 Linda gunnels
Yup...no answers...a distant God..no relief. Ive lost my faith. Scripture or worship songs dont bring anything anymore. How can i believe he is a good God? I feel like my life is over
Yep. Same. A distant God. No relief. My faith is lost as well.
When you have a very strong faith in God you will understand why things happen. We blame God for the lost of love ones but the truth is that we the humans have done so much damage to our clean earth that everything we eat and breathe is damaging us. Our Heavenly Father is watching our reactions, please know that our love ones are in a better place! And when you pass you will see them again!
@@libertadnicafitzpatrick8143 thank you
It is hard to accept it when your husband or wife died recently when I thought Gods was definitely healing him -then he took a turn for the worst and I lost him, It is so painful without him, Life seems to have very little meaning. Yet I know he would have wanted me to press on serving the lord in any little way I can.
Don't lose your faith your in a season of grieving, no one stays alive forever
God doesn't always answer your prayers 🙏.He has his reason 🙏 Not to hurt You.

I feel like him saying there are no clear awnsers, though I agree to a point.... is a little bit of a cop out. There's plenty to talk about, point to, try to find and parse out awnsers. There's a lot you can discuss with grief Biblically
Matthew 22:32
My dear older brother died after a road accident in 1970. ❤But why did God stop myself from a couple of accidents s recently? 😊
because it is God's will not ours.
God has his reason why he didn't save your love one.
Yes only God does.
