screw rod and staff i have sword and shield to comfort me

bad news my grandpa isn't getting any better with covid. His lungs were just too damaged to fight it off. They expect him to pass tonight or tomorrow, thanks for the thoughts and prayers its greatly appreciated

I'm so sorry

I'll keep you and your family in my prayers 🙏

I'm so sorry @Meryl.140.15
Are you and he Christians? If you're both saved, while it may hurt now, you can find comfort that he will be in Heaven with The Father, where there's no pain or suffering, and you will be reunited some day. I'll pray from him and you/your family

A lot of my Christian friends get confused when I say I look forward to the day I die. I always have to explain to them that I look forward to that day because I will get to see God face to face. I'll get to meet my grandpa and all of my other family members I never got to know.

Yes this life is like a blink of an eye. You can’t even compare 100 years of life here to eternity!
It’s so nothing and death is not the end.

God is something I feel i dont make enough time for

especially praying to god

I’m the same way, the distractions of this world take time away from Him

yeah I don't really want to hear the "don't be sad you'll see him later" stuff it's really not that comforting. Thanks though i appreciate the thought

in the end, Death is a natural process

only difference is if it is painful or not

but I hope the best for whatever you need

I don’t mean to not be sad, we all need time to grieve when we loose someone. I just wanted you to remember and look forward to reuniting. I don’t mean to sound insensitive or anything

I know you meant well don't worry about it

@Meryl.140.15#3798 sorry to hear that. My grandpa passed a few months ago from dementia. He struggled for days in the hospice. He actually set a record there for how long he fought. We used the opportunity to tell him about Jesus, which he had missed out on his whole life as a catholic. When he finally did pass, he looked at my mom (his daughter) one last time and accepted death. It was very peaceful and a happy moment. The struggle had put a strain on us all and we were glad he was finally at peace.

I wish your grandpa a peaceful passing

@Dr. Taco It's not really "death". If you've accept Jesus Christ as your savior, and that he has died on the cross for your sins, by that you are saved. So while you physically die, your spirit and soul are sent to Heaven. True Death is when you're sent to hell.

Course that is too say, doesn't mean it ain't painful or some kind of death. Death is painful no matter what, but True Death is just straight up scarier

Yeah, he accepted that he had to let go of us.

I wish I had the courage to pray for people. Many events have damaged my relationship with God, but one thing that widened the gap in particular was when I met one of the relatively scarce heterosexual Christian furries and prayed for his relationship with his girlfriend that it would be a good example to me in a fandom full of bad examples. A few days later, the guy talked about how they'd had premarital sex and bragged that it was awesome, without a hint of repentance or seeming to understand that Christianity kinda discourages that. I felt like God was trolling me with this, and that He doesn't care about me or love me. Maybe God let me become a furry because He *wants* me in Hell. So I almost never pray for other people anymore, because what's the point if that's how He answers my prayers. ._.
