The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I am sorry to hear of your loss. I know that the loss of a loved one can be overwhelming. If your Aunt was a Christian, then you can rest in the knowledge that you will see her again someday. In the meantime, be thankful for the time that God allowed you to have with her. She was obviously a special person to you. I know you may feel like you have been shorted. I have often felt the same, and can't you give a good explanation as to why God allows things to happen the way he does. However, I have learned to trust in Him. He is in control, and knows what is best. I have also learned to thank him and praise him, for what he has given me, and not focus on what I do not have.
Pray and ask God to comfort you during this time of loss. I will pray for you also.

Dear XAngelX,
Precious Lamb, I too am so sorry for your loss. Understand that grief is a process. It takes time. The pain you feel is normal. Talking about the good things about your Aunt, your good memories may help. Ignoring the pain is the absolute wrong thing to do. If you need a sounding board, feel free to PM.
May the Lord's peace settle over you and give you comfort.

Thank you.........
She was a Christian, went to church everyday......
It's just..... if I was sure there was a God and she was in heaven I would be okay..... but I'm not sure anymore.

Dear Precious XAngelX,
I have a few decades on you. I've seen a lot more of life. I can guarantee you HE is real. Do you believe in mathematics? Mathmatical probablity shows there HAS to be a Creator.
Do you believe in Archeology? It too, proves the Bible out as acurate over and over. These are vital facts you are not taught in school anymore because they don't want you to know. The theory of evolution is STILL JUST A THEORY, if that! Actually I wonder if it still can be classified a theory with the scant fossil record and the vast amount of missing proof!
From personal experience, I can tell you Father God exists without a doubt and HE is SO good!!! It is man that is sinful and willful, wanting to sin, hurt and control others when he does not have his relationship with God in order, he falls prey to Satan's ways and this is what makes the world such a bad place.
When we draw close to Him, He sends the Holy Spirit and draws close to us. As we grow in Him, we begin to change. Not because it is His law or commandment, but because we come to know HIS way is better than ours. HIS way is life, more abundantly! His way is EVERYTHING HE promised it was! We change because we fall so deeply in love with our Lord we want to please Him. Our hearts begin to change and we soften and become more understanding and loving of our brothers and sisters.
The enemy will try to drive you away from God so you do not find His comfort and solace. Let me tell you what the Word says about satan and his demons, he is a liar and the father of lies. He is seeking whom he may devour. He comes to kill, steal and destroy. Those are the things the enemy has for you.
Jesus on the other hand, died on the cross for your sin and mine. He said on the cross IT IS FINISHED. Meaning He had finished paying the price for your sins and mine even those we have not yet committed. His blood is our redemption and protection! Jesus took the beating for our healing! Jesus said, I come to give you life and that more abundantly! I don't know about you, but I definitely prefer what Jesus offers me!
Your Aunt's spirit is in the glorious presence of Jesus now. She is happy! Her body sleeps until the time we are called to awaken with our glorified bodies. Precious one, know Jesus is so wonderful, even the soldiers that crucified him stood in awe and one knew, 'Truly, this WAS the Son of God....'

xangelx,
I have a fair idea of how you are feeling, I lost my mother 3 years ago to cancer....she suffered horribly from the pain, so I felt that she was better off not living any longer. That was what made me feel so bad...wishing that she wouldn't suffer any more. I feel her with me and that she is watching over me as I raise my son and try to make life better for my family.
In her last year or so, she and I came to understand each other and to deal with and accept the fact that I had manic deppressive disorder. I have been on medication for many years now and am able to function almost completely normally. She helped me with this problem by talking about it and what was bothering me. Your aunt is in a much better place and will always be with you in mind and spirit. Cherish all your memories and she will never be gone from your life. Only her earthly body is gone, Not her spirit. God Bless you and may God ease the pain of your loss.

I too am sorry of your loss. I know it must be difficult to lose a member of your family, especially if you were really close to them.
Just to let you know that the grace of God is indeed sufficient and that His strength sustains you and you will not be overwhelmed by your feelings of sadness.
Pray for Him to sustain you. Just say...God sustain me and don't let me be overwhelmed.
Utter this prayer---even if you do not feel like praying.
I speak peace to you!
Actually, it seems to me that you need a revelation of who God is. Do you yourself believe in God?????

i am so sorry to hear of your loss. it must really hurt . but know that the lord said that the he would not leave his people comfortless.....and regarding your thoughts that what if god does not exist and tht your aunt is gone : why dun you pray . god does not want you in doubt of his presence or love , he also knows what you are struggling about and he does not want to see you, his precious child, be upset and tangled in this confusion .
Just ask the lord to speak to you and listen to what he has to say. or sometimes, gos would just touch your wounds and tears would just start pouring it .let the healing begin.
god bless
