Today my father has passed away. He has spent the last 9 months at a nursing home (with some brief stay at home until he experienced a relapse and had to go back). My family and I just saw him on New Year's Eve and he was doing great. He was just bored and wanted to go back home as he hated his time there at the nursing home. Unfortunately he was never able to come back home as they kept telling him he's not ready and today, he was found unresponsive on his bed when the nurse went to check on him. The fact hasn't hit me yet as I still feel he's still alive but eventually I know it will finally hit me. I've already prayed for my father's safe passage into Heaven to be with our Lord, my mother, my aunt and uncle. Right now I'm confused as to what to do next because there's so many I have to take care of right now and I'm feeling overwhelmed so I would appreciate prayers. Thanks in advance and I may not check my account for the time being until I get over this.
Additionally, the reason why I have been MIA, in case anyone noticed my absence, is because I've been trying my best to help my father get better physically and to focus more on my family and the situation at home. I just wish my father would be around to witness the Great Awakening and Trump's 2nd (or third) term so we all can finally return to living normal, but I guess my father can watch this unfold from Heaven.
Thanks again. I love you guys.
Of course, fren. Praying for you now. So sorry about your dad. I know what that's like. Fortunately, you seem confident that you know where he is. He'll get to see it all from the splendor of heaven, right there with our beloved Jesus.
I have been keeping John 14:1 very close to my heart lately, perhaps it might help you as you deal with all the various necessities while also coming to terms with your dad's passing. "Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe in Me." The fact that it is Jesus speaking means a lot to me.
God bless you. I know this is a challenging time, but you must be strong enough to deal with it or God would not have let it happen. Also, just keep reminding yourself how wonderful it has to be for your father to be with Jesus! It might help ease the pain. Take care, fren.
